Perfect for fans of Elise Bryant and Katie Cotugno, this fake-dating YA rom-com from Kelsey Rodkey set at a high school election shows that in matters of the heart, you have to elect to be yourself.
Ella knew transferring to a new school wouldn't be easy. The first day, while defending her sister, Ella makes an enemy out of the student council president and lands in detention. Swearing revenge on him, Ella will stop at nothing to unseat him—even calling for a redo election in which she's the only one brave enough to run against him.
As a new student, Ella isn't sure she can secure the votes until she meets unfailingly flirtatious Patrick and hears his wild idea to help her. He'll pretend to be her boyfriend and show their classmates that she and her ideas for the school aren't so bad. It's like something out of her sister's fan fiction.
But when their fake romance starts feeling too real, and Patrick's true motives for their arrangement come to light, Ella has to decide what's more important: Patrick or the polls.
- Fake Dating: To win the election, Ella needs a running mate she never expected—a fake boyfriend. But Patrick's flirty charm makes pretending a little too easy.
- High School Rivals: She made an enemy of the student council president on her first day. Now, Ella's running against him in a campaign that's part politics, part revenge.
- Cinnamon Roll Hero: He's popular, charming, and comes up with the wild idea to fake a relationship. But as Patrick's true motives come to light, Ella wonders if she can trust him.
- Witty Banter: Full of the laugh-out-loud dialogue and hilarious situations that make for a perfect YA rom-com, inspired by the tropes you'd find in fan fiction.
