A prom-night plan takes an unexpected turn

Gia’s breakup on prom night leads her to recruit a stranger as a temporary boyfriend, a quick fix meant to preserve appearances. In the days that follow, she finds herself thinking about him and later returns the favor when he needs a fill-in girlfriend. The alternating arrangement gives the story its central romantic tension: both characters agree to keep things brief, while Gia begins to question the boundary between performance and genuine feeling. Set around high school prom and its aftermath, the novel centers on social image, plans that fail to account for emotion, and the uncertainties of a pretend relationship becoming more personal.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in high-school romance
  • Readers who enjoy fake-dating premises and romantic comedy
  • Fans of stories about social image and relationships that shift beyond their original terms

Book overview

After getting dumped on prom night, perfect Gia enlists a "fill-in" boyfriend to save face, in this charming and sweet fake-dating rom-com from Kasie West, perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Jenny Han.

?Gia Montgomery has a plan for everything.

Even when her boyfriend, Bradley, dumps her in the parking lot of her high school prom, Gia has the perfect pivot. This was supposed to be the night she proved to all her friends that he really existed. So all she has to do is find a cute guy to be her fill-in boyfriend--two hours, zero commitment.

But Gia didn't plan on spending the days after prom thinking more about Fake Bradley than her actual ex. To get this under control, she'll have to track her faux prom date down and repay the favor.

Gia is all too happy when he needs her to be his fill-in girlfriend--three hours, zero commitment--but suddenly, this fake relationship starts feeling all too real.

It was the perfect plan, but Gia didn't plan on falling for the fill-in.
