Beschreibung

Neighborhood rivals turned fake boyfriends discover that there s a fine line between love and payback in this fresh, fun YA rom-com.

I swooned so hard I pulled a muscle! Sonora Reyes, National Book Award finalist for The Lesbiana s Guide to Catholic School

A charming, hilarious debut! Abida Jaigirdar, award-winning author of The Henna Wars

Devin Báez is ready for a relaxing winter break at Lake Andreas. That is, until he runs into his obnoxious next-door neighbors the Seo-Cookes, undefeated champions of the lake s annual Winter Games. After the Báezes offer up their cabin to their rivals in a reckless bet to finally take them down, more than just family pride is on the line.

So when annoyingly handsome Julian Seo-Cooke finds himself in need of a fake boyfriend, Devin sees an opportunity to get behind enemy lines and snoop for proof that Julian and his family have been playing dirty for years.

As long as Devin and Julian s families are at war, there s no room for anything but loathing between them. Which is a problem because, for Devin, this faux game of love is beginning to feel a little too real.

Sharp, hilarious, and pure delight. Caught in a Bad Fauxmance combines the comfort of familiar tropes with the thrill of an original story that left me rooting for Devin and Julian through the very last page. Robbie Couch, New York Times bestselling author of If I See You Again Tomorrow
