Gia’s boyfriend dumps her in the carpark right before prom and her friend group already had doubts that Bradley existed, she couldn’t walk into prom alone. She spots Hayden in the car park and asks him for a huge favour; accompany her to prom and pretend to be Bradley.

Gia’s web of lies just gets bigger and more complicated when she actually ends up liking her fill-in boyfriend and his sister.

Gia learns throughout the book that friendships that are only on the surface aren’t real. She seeks a real, deeper friendship from Bec and a real relationship from Hayden.
Although it was a long book, I feel that not much happened. It was an easy, nice read all the same.
