From the New York Times bestselling author
of Better than the Movies, this swoon-worthy rom-com in the
vein of She’s All That and 10 Things I Hate
About You follows a teen girl who unwittingly finds herself
at the center of a bet while working at a waterpark. When
seventeen-year-old Bailey starts a new job at a hotel waterpark,
she is less than thrilled to see an old acquaintance is one of her
coworkers. Bailey met Charlie a year ago on the long flight to
Omaha, where she moved after her parents’ divorce. Charlie’s
cynicism didn’t mix well with Bailey’s carefully well-behaved
temperament, and his endless commentary was the irritating cherry
on top of an already emotionally fraught trip. Now, Bailey and
Charlie are still polar opposites, but instead of everything about
him rubbing Bailey the wrong way, she starts to look forward to
hanging out and gossiping about the waterpark guests and their
coworkers—particularly two who keep flirting with each other.
Bailey and Charlie make a bet on whether or not the cozy pair will
actually get together. Charlie insists that members of the opposite
sex can’t just be friends, and Bailey is determined to prove him
wrong. Bailey and Charlie keep close track of the romantic progress
of others while Charlie works to deflect the growing feelings
he’s developed for Bailey. Terrified to lose her if his crush
becomes known, what doesn’t help his agenda is Bailey and Charlie
“fake dating” in order to disrupt the annoying pleasantries
between Bailey’s mom and her mom’s new boyfriend. Soon, what
Charlie was hoping to avoid becomes a reality as Bailey starts to
see him as not only a friend she can rely on in the midst of family
drama—but someone who makes her hands shake and heart race. But
Charlie has a secret—a secret that involves Bailey and another
bet Charlie may have made. Can the two make a real go of
things…or has Charlie’s secret doomed them before they could
start?
