About The book
Love, lies, heartbreak and the complicated world of modern dating.
Published in October 2022, Fake Love – It’s a Dirty Game is a contemporary fiction novel exploring the complexities of modern relationships, the influence of social media and the emotional rollercoaster of searching for love in an increasingly digital world.
Through the experiences of Stella and her friends, the novel takes readers on a journey of love, friendship, betrayal, heartbreak and self-discovery. Set against the fast-paced world of online dating, where connections can be fleeting and appearances deceiving, their stories reveal the challenges of navigating past and present relationships, the pressure to meet society’s expectations and the struggle to remain true to oneself.
Inspired by years of research, interviews and observations of human behaviour, author Tina Louise Cicolini wanted to create a story that readers could genuinely relate to. Beyond the complications of dating and relationships, Fake Love explores the impact of social media on self-worth, identity and emotional wellbeing, while encouraging readers to embrace their individuality and recognise that they are not alone in life’s challenges.
At its heart, Fake Love is a story about the search for love, the importance of staying true to yourself and the hope that remains – even after heartbreak.
MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR
“I wanted to write a story that people could relate to, one that reflected the realities of modern dating, the pressures of social media and the challenges we all experience through life and love. My hope was to create awareness, encourage self-acceptance and remind readers that they are not alone in their struggles. We are all individuals, and our worth should never be defined by society’s expectations or the opinions of others. Above all, I wanted to share a message that no matter how difficult life becomes, there is always hope for something better to come.”
