About this ebook

Spirit committee leader Mandy Pennington is secretly in love with her best friend, Gus, but when he hooks up with her archenemy at a party, she decides to win him over once and for all. She just doesn’t know how. But who better to help than hot loner Caleb Torrs?

Caleb’s got his own problems, but when he sees Mandy pining over Gus at a party, he thinks she’s finally smoked the spirit stick and lost her mind. Maybe he has, too, because he just asked Mandy to be his fake girlfriend. She’ll get her loser friend’s attention, and he’ll get his stalker ex off his back. It’s a win-win.

But soon one fake date blends into the next and before he knows it, he actually wants to kiss Mandy. For real. Too bad their plan is working, and Gus is finally noticing the one girl Caleb just might be falling for...

Disclaimer: This book contains a villain pretending to be a hero, a hero pretending to be a villain, a disco-dancing heroine, two overprotective sidekicks, a little bit of bad language, and a whole lot of swoony kissing.

Ratings and reviews

This was a great read. I'm a little torn on how Gus was handled. Sometimes I wish there weren't suddenly a solid reason to get over one person before moving on to the next. But this is practically a prerequisite for most fiction. Haha So I'll allow it. I do love the focus given to Caleb regarding consent. It was handled in graceful way without being in your face.

This book was so sweet, am I the only one who realised every chapter is named after a song, anyway caleb and mandy were such a cute couple I knew it wasn't fake from the start they had a spark but both of them didn't realise it until the end. Such a good book definitely recommend.

This is a story to pick up time and again. Filled with more than enough cheese to have a disco ball explode, don't let this stop you from reading a story that was inspired by Sky High. Although highly predictable, the leading lady in this romance will capture your hearts with her passion that captured the entire school.

About the author

Lisa Brown Roberts still hasn't recovered from the teenage trauma of nearly tweezing off both eyebrows and having to pencil them in for an entire school year. This and other angst-filled memories inspire her to write YA books about navigating life's painful and funny dramas, and falling in love along the way.Her almost forever home is Colorado, though she occasionally pines for the days when she lived within walking distance of the Pacific Ocean. Her house is full of books, boys, several four-legged prima donnas, and lots of laughter.
