Blurb:
Stephanie Kendrick gave up her whole summer to ace her NYU film school screenwriting course, so she's pissed to be stuck with a preppy, spoiled frat boy as her writing partner. Then again, with her piercings, black-rimmed eyes, and Goth wardrobe, Stephanie isn't exactly Ethan Price's type, either. He's probably got his eye on some leggy blonde with a trust fund... or does he?
As the summer scene kicks off in the Hamptons, Ethan is desperate to make his snobbish mother forget the pedigreed girl who broke his heart. While Stephanie's a stretch as a decoy, the right makeover and a pastel cardigan just might do the trick. She may not love the idea of playing Ethan's brainless Barbie girlfriend, but the free rent and luxurious digs make a tempting offer. So does the promise of a ready-made screenplay idea inspired by their charade.
But when Stephanie steps into Ethan's privileged world, the "acting" begins to feel all too real. The kissing and touching that were intended to fool the Hamptons crowd wind up manipulating "them." And Stephanie faces a question she's too afraid to ask: Is Ethan falling for the real her or for the dolled-up princess he wants to see?
Review: 4 Stars
I'm sucker for a story like this - watching two people who seem to be complete opposites finding more common ground than expected. I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I liked the banter between Stephanie and Ethan, as they poked fun at each other after being paired together to work a project for their screenwriting course.
And how do I know you won’t go rogue on this project and turn in our screenplay with a dead bird smashed on the front?”
The end of the story is a bit weak, in my opinion. But, a fun read nonetheless. I've already moved on to reading the next book in the series!
