The hopeless romantic girl and the anti-romantic boy. A perfect love story, right? Wrong. There is nothing remotely perfect about Hallie Rhodes' love life. The hopeless romantic with the most hopelessly unromantic existence. Not fun.
So when she creates an app called Cupid's Hotline, and it doesn't just become popular but explodes to the point where her entire school, town, and even neighboring cities are using it, she hopes, just maybe, her own love story will unfold.
Of course, nothing in Hallie's life comes without chaos. She may have unintentionally destroyed a few relationships (okay, really destroyed them) thanks to some misinformation. And she may or may not have struck a dubious deal with the most commitment-averse boy in school.
Enter Carter Bennett. Ever the non-romantic, Carter believes love is an illusion, a fleeting, meaningless concept that ended for good when his parents' seemingly perfect marriage imploded into a mess of lawyers and custody battles. He thrives in short-term, no-strings-attached relationships and currently has his sights set on Hallie's best friend-who is proving infuriatingly difficult to win over.
Frustrated by his inability to charm his next conquest, Carter begins sending anonymous messages through Cupid's Hotline for advice. But when he inadvertently discovers that the mastermind behind the app is none other than the best friend of the girl he's been pursuing, he makes a proposition: Hallie fake dates him to make her best friend jealous, and in return, he keeps her identity a secret.
With misadventures, secrets, and accidental feelings spiraling out of control, will Hallie finally get the rom-com love story she has always dreamed of? Or is she destined to forever remain on the sidelines, stuck as a mere spectator to romance?
