This was a fun read. Gia gets dumped by her boyfriend on prom night and decides she needs a replacement fast. She’d been talking about him for the last few months to her friends but one of them starts saying he isn’t real and the doubt has started to spread. Hayden just happens to be hanging out in his car reading after dropping his sister off at the dance and agrees after some persuading.
I really liked Gia and Hayden together, they had good banter and I thought they would be cute together. Gia also ends up becoming friends with his sister Beck which is saying something cause she started off hating her. Of course they start liking each other after that initial date which doesn’t bode well for Gia as he was pretending to be Bradley and they broke up once his sister spotted them in fear of her blowing his cover. Gia’s one “friend” Jules has also been on a one woman mission to expose Gia as a liar from the original Bradley.
The only thing I didn’t like about this book was that she didn’t make up with her friends by the end, it was just kind of left hanging. And I also didn’t like that Jules set out to ruin her relationship with Claire just cause Claire was the first person to be nice to her, she told Gia Claire deserved better than her but aside from not telling her about the Bradley thing (which doesn’t explain Jules attitude prior) Gia didn’t do anything to deserve that.
