Ivy Brooks thought she had drama under control-until she got tangled up in Jace Holloway.
She's Amelia's chaotic best friend, the kind who survives life with sarcasm, overthinking, and a talent for walking straight into emotional disasters. Jace? He's Noah's best friend-charming, impossible to read, and dangerously calm when everything else is falling apart.
What starts as fake chemistry for the cameras quickly turns into something neither of them can control. Between filming, rumors, and a campus that loves turning everything into a headline, Ivy and Jace are forced into close proximity... and even closer feelings.
The problem? Ivy doesn't do "real feelings."
Jace doesn't do "almost."
And when Noah and Amelia are already in their own relationship chaos, everything starts colliding in ways nobody can escape.
In a world where everyone is watching, one question becomes impossible to avoid:
Is it still acting... if it feels real?
A slowburn enemies-to-lovers romance filled with tension, jealousy, accidental almost-kisses, and the terrifying moment of finally being seen.
