Wren Harding has a plan.
Ace organic chemistry. Stay focused. Get into Harvard Medical School. Avoid distractions - especially six-foot-two distractions with perfect smiles and varsity jackets.
Too bad her chemistry lab partner is Lex McCarthy, Penn State's golden-boy quarterback and the walking definition of impossible to ignore.
Enter "Ben."
He's funny, thoughtful, ridiculously cute, and somehow understands Wren better than anyone she's ever met. Sure, they met through a dating app her roommate talked her into downloading "for research purposes," but their late-night messages and nonstop flirting quickly become the best part of Wren's semester.
There's just one problem:
"Ben" doesn't actually exist.
Okay, technically he does - but his real name is Griffin Hunter, Penn State hockey star, campus heartbreaker, and the last person Wren would ever swipe right on in real life.
After a messy breakup, Griffin only wanted a distraction. What he didn't expect was to fall for the ambitious girl behind the profile picture. Now every almost-encounter, accidental run-in, and unanswered message pulls them closer to a truth that could ruin everything before they even get their first real date.
Because on a campus full of carefully crafted reputations, catfishing the girl of your dreams might be the dumbest play of the season.
Perfect for fans of witty banter, chaotic roommates, slow-burn tension, and the absolute disaster of falling for someone who has no idea who you really are.
