Description
When Gia Montgomery's boyfriend, Bradley, dumps her in the parking lot of her high school prom, she has to think fast. After all, she'd been telling her friends about him for months now. This was supposed to be the night she proved he existed. So when she sees a cute guy waiting to pick up his sister, she enlists his help. The task is simple: be her fill-in boyfriend—two hours, zero commitment, a few white lies. After that, she can win back the real Bradley.The problem is that days after prom, it's not the real Bradley she's thinking about, but the stand-in. The one whose name she doesn't even know. But tracking him down doesn't mean they're done faking a relationship. Gia owes him a favor and his sister intends to see that he collects: his ex-girlfriend's graduation party—three hours, zero commitment, a few white lies.
Just when Gia begins to wonder if she could turn her fake boyfriend into a real one, Bradley comes waltzing back into her life, exposing her lie, and threatening to destroy her friendships and her new-found relationship.
My thoughts
Kasie West books are these light and fluffy reads but they have a deeper meaning in them! They have a main character whom I can relate to.
This book was amazing! Gia wasn’t perfect, she was a normal teenage girl with teenage troubles. The decisions she made where realistic for a teenage girl put in those situations in my opinion. I would probably have made the same decisions when I was her age. I only thought that her friends were terrible human beings. High school is tough, and I understand that Gia doesn’t want to lose her friends even when they are terrible friends. All you want to do in high school is fit in and you don’t want to be the odd one out. I feel like she changed in this book a lot. She learned what the important things are, and to be yourself, even if that means that you lose the friends you have. Because that means that they are not your real friends.
Hayden was great too. I’m a bit done with the bad guys in YA. That's why Hayden is so great. He is a sweet and funny guy. His sister Bec was also a great character I would like to read more about :P
I love to read more from Kasie west, because I loved everything I read by her thus far!
