"A witty, romantic, deeply insightful debut." âEmma Lord, author of Tweet Cute
In this sparkling and romantic YA debut, a reserved Bangladeshi-American teenager has twenty-eight days to make the biggest decision of her life after agreeing to fake date her schoolâs resident bad boy.
How do you make one month last a lifetime?
Karina Ahmed has a plan. Keep her head down, get through high school without a fuss, and follow her parentsâ rulesâeven if it means sacrificing her dreams. When her parents go abroad to Bangladesh for four weeks, Karina expects some peace and quiet. Instead, one simple lie unravels everything.
Karina is my girlfriend.
Tutoring the schoolâs resident bad boy was already crossing a line. Pretending to date him? Out of the question. But Ace Clyde does everything rightâhe brings her coffee in the mornings, impresses her friends without trying, and even promises to buy her a dozen books (a week) if she goes along with his fake-dating facade. Though Karina agrees, she canât help but start counting down the days until her parents come back.
T-minus twenty-eight days until everything returns to normalâbut what if Karina no longer wants it to?
