Alex Light
A fun, flirty teen debut from Wattpad phenom Alex Light about a fake relationship and real love. Perfect for Jenny Han fans.It’s been years since seventeen-year-old Becca Hart believed in true love. But when her former best friend teases her for not having had a boyfriend, Becca impulsively pretends she’s been secretly seeing someone.Brett Wells has it all. As captain of the football team and one of the most popular guys in his school, he should have no problem finding someone to date, but he’s always been more focused on his future than who to bring to prom.When he overhears Becca’s lie, Brett decides to step in and be the mystery guy. It’s the perfect solution: he gets people off his back for not having a meaningful relationship and she can keep up the ruse that she’s got a boyfriend.Acting like the perfect couple isn’t easy, though, especially when you barely know the other person. But with Becca still picking up the pieces from when her world was blown apart years ago and Brett just barely holding his together now, they begin to realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined.When the line between what is pretend and what is real begins to blur, they're forced to answer the question: Is this fake romance the realest thing in either of their lives?

"Really cute! Quick read, definitely recommend!"
Skye Edelson-Bennett
"I read this book originally on Wattpad, and I remember it differently (I think). The published version lacks a lot of detail, to the point where it feels like there’s a couple of plot holes. There’s potential for greatness, but there’s a lot missing."
Jamilah
"One of the most light hearted books I’ve ever read. Such a sweet story for all the hopeless romantics!"

"Super cute and easy read. "
Leticia Cormier
"It was fine I didn't really like the writing, it was a very cheesy and cliche story though that's not inherently bad I feel like more could be put into it the characters didn't have much depth in my opinion, the book wasn't the worst and I enjoyed it but It was very forgettable and I felt that Brett wasn't good enough for Becca."
Sunflower
"It was good, and I read it all the way through, but it was kind of boring to me. I love romance, but the plot was very problem-less. "

"Sweet YA fake dating turns real romance. Bookish girl popular boy. I 😍 it."
Loann
"This is a pretty quick read! VERY cheesy, but lighthearted and it made me laugh a few times. There is some harsh language sprinkled into the latter half"

"I felt like the plot idea had so much potential it just never came together. Felt rushed - like so many details were missing. Untold parts of the story left out. And then it just ended. Didn’t like the authors writing style."
