When 16-year-old Eliza Lin’s personal essay about meeting the love of
her life goes viral, she gets everything she’s ever wanted: the
approval of her new classmates, a rare internship opportunity at her
favourite publisher, and a devoted online following who think her
relationship is #couplegoals.
The only problem? Eliza made the whole essay up.
In fact, Eliza's never even been in a relationship before, let alone in
love. All good writing is lying, right? Desperate to cover up the
truth, Eliza makes a deal with her classmate Caz: she’ll help him write
his college applications if he poses as her boyfriend. But Caz plays
the role of boyfriend a bit too well...
But Eliza's carefully crafted image begins to unravel as the
relationship with Caz becomes more and more real. Can she still follow
her dreams if it means breaking her own heart?
