About this eBook

Spirit committee leader Mandy Pennington is secretly in love with her best friend, Gus, but when he hooks up with her archenemy at a party, she decides to win him over once and for all. She just doesn’t know how. But who better to help than hot loner Caleb Torrs?

Caleb’s got his own problems, but when he sees Mandy pining over Gus at a party, he thinks she’s finally smoked the spirit stick and lost her mind. Maybe he has, too, because he just asked Mandy to be his fake girlfriend. She’ll get her loser friend’s attention, and he’ll get his stalker ex off his back. It’s a win-win.

But soon one fake date blends into the next and before he knows it, he actually wants to kiss Mandy. For real. Too bad their plan is working, and Gus is finally noticing the one girl Caleb just might be falling for...

Disclaimer: This book contains a villain pretending to be a hero, a hero pretending to be a villain, a disco-dancing heroine, two overprotective sidekicks, a little bit of bad language, and a whole lot of swoony kissing.

Awesome YA sweet read. The characters of Mandy and Caleb are both incredible and I loved the slow build of their relationship. My only complaint about this book is the cover. Seriously, this needs a leather wearing bad boy on the cover! A minor complaint but still! Caleb is known as the school bad boy. People didn't mess with him and he was fine with that. Since he prefers fictional characters over actual people being a loner works for him. Mandy on the other hand is on every committee, loves people, and just wants to be accepted as she is. ADHD and all. When she goes to a party with her long time crush Gus only to be left hanging when he hooks up with miss popularity, she's surprised when Caleb comes to her rescue. Even more surprising is his proposal. Pretend to be his girlfriend to help get rid of his stalker ex and he'll help her make Gus jealous and come running back to her. Slowly Caleb finds himself being pulled into Mandy's world and surprise of all surprises, liking it and her more than he ever thought possible. Definitely a book I would recommend to everyone who enjoys a good YA read!

This was a great read. I'm a little torn on how Gus was handled. Sometimes I wish there weren't suddenly a solid reason to get over one person before moving on to the next. But this is practically a prerequisite for most fiction. Haha So I'll allow it. I do love the focus given to Caleb regarding consent. It was handled in graceful way without being in your face.

This book was so sweet, am I the only one who realised every chapter is named after a song, anyway caleb and mandy were such a cute couple I knew it wasn't fake from the start they had a spark but both of them didn't realise it until the end. Such a good book definitely recommend.

About the author

Lisa Brown Roberts still hasn't recovered from the teenage trauma of nearly tweezing off both eyebrows and having to pencil them in for an entire school year. This and other angst-filled memories inspire her to write YA books about navigating life's painful and funny dramas, and falling in love along the way.Her almost forever home is Colorado, though she occasionally pines for the days when she lived within walking distance of the Pacific Ocean. Her house is full of books, boys, several four-legged prima donnas, and lots of laughter.
