The only problem? Eliza made the whole essay up. In fact, Eliza's never even been in a relationship before, let alone in love. All good writing is lying, right? Desperate to cover up the truth, Eliza makes a deal with her classmate Caz: she’ll help him write his college applications if he poses as her boyfriend.

Can she still follow her dreams if it means breaking her own heart? Perfect for BookTok, and fans of Jenny Han and Crazy Rich Asians.
