This is the perfect summer romance read! Fitz and her girlfriend Dani are both spending the summer in NYC on different programs. On the same night that Fitz decides to say, "I Love You," Dani breaks up with her. Spiraling into depression and unable to create for her fashion program, Fitz bumps into her best friend who moved away when they were both 10. They decide to fake a romance to encourage jealousy in both of their exes. We all know how that usually turns out. ;) All in all this was a super sweet book about being true to yourself, fighting perfectionism and anxiety, and how a good relationship should make you feel. Highly recommended for grades 8 & up.
