This delightfully disastrous queer YA rom-com is a
perfect read for fans of Jenny Han, Morgan Matson, and Sandhya Menon.
When Nozomi Nagai pictured the ideal summer romance, a fake
one wasn’t what she had in mind.
That was before she met the perfect girl. Willow is
gorgeous, glamorous, and…heartbroken? And when she enlists Nozomi to pose as
her new girlfriend to make her ex jealous, Nozomi is a willing volunteer.
Because Nozomi has a master plan of her own: one to show
Willow she’s better than a stand-in, and turn their fauxmance into something
real. But as the lies pile up, it’s not long before Nozomi’s schemes take a
turn toward disaster…and maybe a chance at love she didn’t plan
for.
