About this ebook

When two teens with complex motives plan to marry, their friendship is put to the ultimate test in this compelling novel from the author of Virtuosity.

Mo and Annie are just friends. Close friends, best friends, friends who love each other more than anyone else in the world—but just friends. No matter what anyone thinks, there’s simply no romance between them.

Then the summer before senior year Mo’s father loses his job—and his work visa. Even though Mo has lived in America for most of his life, he’ll be forced to move to Jordan. The prospect of leaving his home is devastating, and he’s terrified to return to a world where he no longer belongs.

So Annie proposes they tell a colossal lie: that they are in love. Mo agrees that marrying Annie is the only way he can stay, and Annie is desperate to help her friend. But what happens next may be enough to rip their relationship apart forever.

Ratings and reviews

Oh my god! I loved this book! It was very exciting, an emotional ride really. I thought the book was be articulate, the opinions were very strong and opinionated. I loved how it was more opinion than words, the author wasn't writing a college essay, it was her own. She made it funny and enjoyable that way. It wasn't to serious. I love the best friends concept. They are my favorite romance novels. The connection is so deep. I'd kill for her to make a sequel.
