Synopsis:


When Gia Montgomery's boyfriend, Bradley, dumps her in the parking lot of her high school prom, she has to think fast. After all, she'd been telling her friends about him for months now. This was supposed to be the night she proved he existed. So when she sees a cute guy waiting to pick up his sister, she enlists his help. The task is simple: be her fill-in boyfriend—two hours, zero commitment, a few white lies. After that, she can win back the real Bradley.

The problem is that days after prom, it's not the real Bradley she's thinking about, but the stand-in. The one whose name she doesn't even know. But tracking him down doesn't mean they're done faking a relationship. Gia owes him a favor and his sister intends to see that he collects: his ex-girlfriend's graduation party—three hours, zero commitment, a few white lies.

Just when Gia begins to wonder if she could turn her fake boyfriend into a real one, Bradley comes waltzing back into her life, exposing her lie, and threatening to destroy her friendships and her new-found relationship.


My Opinions:


*4.5 Stars*
This was such an adorable read and I almost love every aspects about this book. Kasie West really knows how to teach people a lesson through a book. This book was really similar to Firsts By: Laurie Elizabeth Flynn however I love this theme so much more with Gia's character than Mercedes's character. 

Gia Montgomery was dumped by Bradley out in the parking lot, so she found someone sitting in his car and decided that he could just be her fill-in Bradley. However playing the role of a fake boyfriend is not that easy when you have friends that are targeting you and trying to find out the truth. I love Gia's character well not when she was lying to her friends but when she was trying to tell the truth, there was always a distraction. I hated Gia's friend, Jules, because of how mean she is to Gia when Gia's friend group accepted her in and now she wanted to replace Gia. OMG, I don't even know why Gia had to apologize to her after she tried to be nice to Jules and always got rejected. Maybe her other friends Claire and Laney need to see who Jules really is. However every bad character has to have a counter right and that where Bec and her brother comes into play . . . 

Hayden, Gia's fill-in Bradley, is so swoony and sweet from how he treated Gia and his acting skills is off the chart. I love his connection with Gia and how they could get into their role as each other's fake friend. I love how Hayden played mind games with Gia and make it hard for her to guess his name. That was an LOL moment. However, his friends are way worse than Gia from Ryan to Spencer. Hayden and Gia are just perfect well not perfect perfect because yes each of them did have some flaws. The only thing that really bothered me was how he came to like her because all I know is that his sister and mother was kind of the one the confessed for him.

Well, I really enjoy this book and am hoping to pick up more books by Kasie since these themes are so cute to read.
