About this ebook
**A New York Times Best Romance Book of the Year**
A swoony, heart-melting YA romance from beloved author Rebekah Weatherspoon about two awkward teens who decide to practice dating in order to be good at the real thing. Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han.
Sixteen-year-old Bethany Greene, though confident and self-assured, is what they call a late-bloomer. She’s never had a boyfriend, date, or first kiss. She’s determined to change that but after her crush turns her down cold for Homecoming—declaring her too inexperienced—and all her back-up ideas fall through, she cautiously agrees to go with her best friend’s boyfriend Jacob. A platonic date is better than no date, right? Until her friend breaks up with said boyfriend.
Dumped twice in just two months, Jacob Yeun wonders if he’s the problem. After years hiding behind his camera and a shocking summer glow up, he wasn’t quite ready for all the attention or to be someone’s boyfriend. There are no guides for his particular circumstances, or for taking your ex’s best friend to the dance.
Why not make the best of an awkward situation? Bethany and Jacob decide to fake date for practice, building their confidence in matters of the heart.
And it works—guys are finally noticing Bethany. But things get complicated as their kissing sessions—for research of course!—start to feel real. This arrangement was supposed to help them in dating other people, but what if their perfect match is right in front of them?

My favorite part of this book is how well the characters are all fleshed out; they all had their quirks and distinctive traits and felt so real to me. The strong friendships and loving families and caring, supportive adults made me want to hug this book when I finished. The fake relationship trope is one of my favorite and this book played it out differently than others I've read before. I enjoyed how the agreement between Bethany and Jacob led to a deep friendship. It broke my heart when

I liked the book as whole. Bethany and Jacob were fun characters to read about. The book being dual point of view allowed to me see both of the characters' thoughts, which made the reading experience all the more enjoyable. Seeing the character's develop and discover themselves helped solidify the book for me and give it more depth. I was really starting to enjoy it towards the end, where most of the action occurs in their relationship.
