Publisher's Summary

An “it” couple’s breakup becomes a sporting event in a deliciously charming novel about the games people play in the name of love.

First, math genius and gamer-nerd Samaya gets dumped by her boyfriend. Then he sabotages her job and hooks up with her frenemy. What could be worse? Clearly, her golden-boy ex is winning the breakup. The only way Samaya can get some rebound cred is to find someone new. Even if she has to fake it.

At a volunteer bake sale, Samaya meets a sweet opportunity. Daniel is a handsome hockey jock and a whiz when it comes to lemon squares and brownies. And he agrees to play along. Quid pro quo. He’ll pretend to be the boyfriend of her dreams if Samaya helps him pass calculus.

This may well be the recipe for the best revenge, but Samaya has no idea how complicated it will get. As they whip up an imitation romance, and a bumbleberry pie, resisting each other’s very real charms proves impossible. Samaya finds herself on an unexpected journey of secrets, self-discovery, and the true meaning of moving on.

What the critics say

“Soneela Nankani's performance adds endearing charm to a chaotic teen romance.… Accurate pronunciations give authenticity to the audiobook's South Asian cultural references, and the inclusion of gender-neutral pronouns sounds natural. Nankani's narration is playful and expressive as she transports listeners to the center of the teen drama.”AudioFile Magazine

“There’s gaming, baking, and fake dating in this charming pastry-filled romance.…Readers will appreciate Heron’s attention to diversity and representation, and details of the Indian/Tanzanian/Muslim community.”Teen Vogue

“A book with a lot of heart that will keep the reader hooked as they navigate this excellent portrayal of high school friendships and self-discovery.”Quill & Quire

Love the author

Started a little slow, but got better as it continued. Nice to revisit familiar characters.
