Book lover, Tasha, is excited to travel to a meet-the-author event and have a chance to talk to her favorite romance author, Amelie De Pierre. It turns out that the author behind the work of Amelie De Pierre is actually a man, Pierre Toussaint. Tasha makes quite the impression and the two soon realize that they’re currently living in the same area. When Pierre realizes he has an issue with his visa, his agent thinks Tasha is the only solution.

My favorite thing about A Not So Fictional Fall is when Pierre, the French author, uses American phrases he’s learned from Tasha’s seven-year-old nephew. It was hilarious. Reading with his accent in my head made for a pretty good time. I also really liked Pierre’s best friend. Although he was only mentioned here and there, he was pretty funny.

The marriage of convenience and friendship/romance was cute. I enjoyed Tasha and Pierre’s connection being somewhat platonic at first. I loved the story taking place heavily in the book world. Pierre was an author and Tasha was a voice actor and book influencer of sorts. Their appreciation for books was appreciated. I laughed as I read the story.

I’ll give A Not So Fictional Fall a 4/5 for fall vibes. The first part of the book takes place at a tropical resort, so it has more of a summer feel, but then they go back to Harvest Hollow. There’s a fall festival they go to with some activities and the season is described throughout the story.

I highly recommend you check out A Not So Fictional Fall along with the other books in the Sweater Weather Collection.
