    Book Summary

    Gen-Z seniors, Hallie and Jack, navigate a fake dating scheme to attract other crushes, only to find themselves developing unexpected real feelings for each other. The story explores typical high school romance tropes with a focus on internal and external pressures related to relationships.

    ALIGNMYREAD RECOMMENDATION
    “Christian readers, particularly teenagers, should approach this book with discernment. While it may offer entertainment as a typical modern romance, its themes and scenarios do not actively promote or align with Christian principles of relationships, honesty, or purity. Parental guidance is recommended for younger readers.”
