"A witty, romantic, deeply insightful debut." тАФEmma Lord, author of Tweet Cute
In this sparkling and romantic YA debut, a reserved Bangladeshi-American teenager has twenty-eight days to make the biggest decision of her life after agreeing to fake date her schoolтАЩs resident bad boy.
How do you make one month last a lifetime?
Karina Ahmed has a plan. Keep her head down, get through high school without a fuss, and follow her parentsтАЩ rulesтАФeven if it means sacrificing her dreams. When her parents go abroad to Bangladesh for four weeks, Karina expects some peace and quiet. Instead, one simple lie unravels everything.
Karina is my girlfriend.
Tutoring the schoolтАЩs resident bad boy was already crossing a line. Pretending to date him? Out of the question. But Ace Clyde does everything rightтАФhe brings her coffee in the mornings, impresses her friends without trying, and even promises to buy her a dozen books (a week) if she goes along with his fake-dating facade. Though Karina agrees, she canтАЩt help but start counting down the days until her parents come back.
T-minus twenty-eight days until everything returns to normalтАФbut what if Karina no longer wants it to?
