"To get a guy to go away...tell him you're gay." Laina Carter's hair is surprisingly small, considering it's full of secrets. She's a self confessed serial fling-doer, incapable of doing relationships. And that's why when Griffin Davis walks into her life, charming, mischievous and a massive pain in the ass, demanding to date her, she does what any sane girl in her shoes would do to get him to walk away: She tells him she's gay. Obviously when you're not, it's a damn hard pretense to keep up, especially when Laina finds herself doing the impossible and actually falling for the guy who's slowly uncovering the past she's tried so hard to bury.

Every teenage girl cannot wait for this day, the day you can wear the most puffiest and brightest dress you could find, where you pay stupid amounts of money on a limo and you wait to be asked to the dance with your biggest crush. Some call it prom; some call it ball or dance, I call it a bloody waste of time. So when I do go to prom the one thing I wasn't expecting was finding my prince charming...to bad he was wearing a mask.

| SAMPLE ONLY; READ IT NOW ON GALATEA | ❝He's the boy she left behind. She's the girl he let go.❞ ➵ Before she became one of music's biggest up-and-coming artists, Evelyn "Evie" Chase was a nobody at the bottom of the Roosevelt High School food chain with only a handful of friends. Her best friend (and longtime crush)--popular jock, Adam Fields--was her polar opposite, but despite their differences, their bond was as strong as they come. That is, until one day-- one mistake--changed the course of their friendship forever, and the once inseparable duo never spoke again. Fast forward three years, and everything's changed. Evie has the world at her feet, now out in L.A. living her dream as a seventeen-year-old popstar-- leaving the town, the boy who broke her heart, and those who'd made high school unbearable behind. Meanwhile, Adam--at Roosevelt finishing off senior year and still the school (and town's) beloved "golden boy"--is trying his hardest to let go of the past and the girl he let get away. And it's going well, the two of them living their separate lives. Until Evie's back. Suddenly, seventeen and senior year just got a lot more interesting.
