From the New York Times bestselling author of Frankly in Love comes a young adult romantic comedy about identity and acceptance. Perfect for fans of John Green and To All the Boys I've Love Before and now in paperback! When Sunny Dae--self-proclaimed total nerd--meets Cirrus Soh, he can't believe how cool and confident she is. So when Cirrus mistakes Sunny's older brother Gray's bedroom--with its electric guitars and rock posters--for Sunny's own, he sort of, kind of, accidentally winds up telling her he's the front man of a rock band. Before he knows it, Sunny is knee-deep in the lie: He ropes his best friends into his scheme, begging them to form a fake band with him, and starts wearing Gray's rock-and-roll castoffs. But no way can he trick this amazing girl into thinking he's cool, right? Just when Sunny is about to come clean, Cirrus asks to see them play sometime. Gulp. Now there's only one thing to do: Fake it till you make it.

When a grumpy athlete's grandma tries to play matchmaker, he turns to a jilted bride who desperately needs to NOT fall in love to play his fake girlfriend.

Moving through the complexities of dating, Stella and her friends quickly realised that the online world was simply a revolving door of people coming and going. It had become a collection of hopeful souls and artificial feelings, all competing for attention. Conversing with many, yet rarely sealing the deal; because in the blink of an eye it was all yesterday’s news, and there were fresh, new people to talk to instead. Craving love, and being burnt by the fire, losing hope, losing themselves, and getting lost within the deep, dark caverns of this online world of desire. The fickle nature of being just a number and waiting your turn; of broken promises and stretching the truth. The short-lived swipe-right, swipe-left world around them was no easy game to play. The virtual world was certainly not a place to become emotionally invested in. As Stella takes a reminiscent walk down memory lane, the stories of her and her friends are discovered, each with their own complicated tales of love, hope, heartbreak, and regret. Was there really such a thing as finding the one? Or was that all just a fantasy?
