A summer of fake dating just got real...
Effie is fed up on playing third-wheel to her best friend Chelsea.
She dreams of being the main character in her own life. Just
when she thinks romance isn't for her, Effie meets irresistibly
cute barista Aiden at her local cafe.
When she's with him, she doesn't have to hide she's autistic and
can be her true self. But when Chelsea makes a snide remark about
how she's never had a boyfriend, Effie and Aiden strike up a
deal: they'll pretend to date.
But as their fake feelings start to feel ... real, can Effie cast
aside what everyone else thinks and follow her heart?
Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Elle McNicoll
A whole cast of neurodivergent characters, including an autistic,
main character who learns how to be herself and find love.
