Stranger Things Have Happened by Kasie West

Stranger Things Have Happened by Kasie West is a romance novel about a fake engagement that starts to feel real, as Sutton and Elijah navigate unexpected feelings alongside complications involving friendship and family.

Sutton knows she needs therapy—but pretending to be engaged to a handsome stranger probably isn’t what anyone had in mind.

Between managing her new restaurant from afar, caring for her sick mother, and recovering from a breakup, Sutton has plenty on her plate. Then her best friend Tara asks for help proving that a therapist can tell real love from fake. One impulsive agreement later, Sutton is attending sessions with Elijah: smug, irritating, and far too handsome.

But as their pretend romance begins to feel real, Sutton must face what this unexpected connection could change about friendship, family, and her own heart. A witty, heartfelt story of complicated relationships and the blurred line between acting in love and falling for real.
