GRR Reviews Hold Me Today by Maria Luis

Mina felt she was never loved by her family due to her dyslexia. All her mama wanted was for her to marry a "nice Greek boy". She wanted to achieve something for herself, but her family's reaction is "Stop wasting time!"  She was about to complete her hair salon, but to finish it, Mina had to go to the one guy she shouldn't want... Her best friend's older brother, one of the bachelor contestants on the bachelorette show... And owner of his own construction/restoration company. Nick, who happens to be Greek too. Mina had a thing for Nick for a long time, but it's just to admire from afar. But when the fans of the TV show gets a bit crazy, Nick decided to ask Mina for a favor... be his fake girlfriend to fend off the rabid fans. But fake things tend to turn real...

It started out as "unrequited love on bestie's brother", but it became a lot more... Greek culture and stereotypes, dyslexia, "dating camp", reality show, fake vs real, fake girlfriend... there are a LOT of issues and layers to track, yet everything makes sense.
