'' Engaging, hilarious, and an utter pleasure to read '' ALI HAZELWOOD Two best friends who haven''t spoken in ten years pretend to date after break-ups with their respective exes go viral, in this delightfully fun and deeply emotional new novel from New York Times bestselling author Emma Lord. Two viral break-ups. One fake relationship. Five sparkling, heart-pounding dates. June and Levi were best friends as teenagers - until the day they weren''t. Now June is struggling to make rent on her beachside tea shop, Levi is living a New York cliche as a disillusioned hedge fund manager and failed novelist, and they''ve barely spoken in years. But after they both experience public, humiliating break-ups with their exes that spread like wildfire across TikTok rabbit holes and daytime talk shows alike, they accidentally make some juicy gossip of their own - a photo of them together has the internet convinced they''re a couple. With so many people rooting for them, they decide to put aside their rocky past and make a pact to fuel the fire. Pretending to date will help June''s shop get back on its feet and make Levi''s ex realize that she made a mistake. All they have to do is convince the world they''re in love, one swoon-worthy photo opp at a time. June and Levi can definitely pull this off without their hearts getting involved.
