Romance writer Lacie Lilavati, and Ryland Zahir, a standout high school junior in both basketball and academics, have been in a long-standing feud that dates back to their middle school days. Lacie despises Ryland who began his playboy streak by breaking her best friend's heart. And Ryland cannot stand Lacie's stuck-up, holier-than-thou attitude. Their personalities are starkly different. Lacie is prim, put-together, and introverted, while Ryland is outgoing and the life of the party. However, despite their mutual antipathy and glaring differences, they are both going to require each other's help. Lacie's grades are in freefall due to her habit of daydreaming. For all her writing talent she struggles with other subjects in school due to her creative mind. Meanwhile, Ryland has just been rejected by his crush, Briar Westbrook who doesn't believe he is capable of committing to a real relationship or being romantic. Her assumption is not unfounded, because for all Ryland's sexual prowess, his romantic and relationship experience is virtually none. Lacie and Ryland end up striking up a deal: Ryland will tutor Lacie in her problem subjects, and she will give him lessons in romance while also posing as his fake girlfriend. But as they embark on their fake relationship, they discover very real facets of each other they never knew lay beyond the surface. Including the fact, that they both harbor pain from their past that affects the way they view life and love. As the two spend more time together, Lacie begins questioning her long-standing hatred for Ryland, and Ryland in his pursuit to learn romance for one girl, finds himself falling for the very one guiding him in the matters of heart. How To Get The Girl is a heartwarming story with themes and messages of looking beyond the surface, moving on from the pain of the past, and the cathartic power of opening up your heart.
