"Are you always this infuriating?" "Only when I'm trying to impress you."
At Crestwood High, Caroline Murphy has built a reputation for being composed, ambitious, and unbeatable in debate. But after an outburst in front of the entire team-and a condescending remark from her ex-her carefully crafted image starts to crack. Desperate to shift the spotlight, she strikes a deal with Simon Liu, the effortlessly charming class clown.
Their fake relationship is supposed to be simple: a distraction, nothing more. But as they bicker their way through study sessions, late-night debates, and school gossip, the lines between real and pretend start to blur. Caroline isn't sure what's worse-falling for someone completely wrong for her or realizing he might not be faking it at all.
