The business of love gets messy when two best friends decide to fake a romantic relationship in this uproarious and swoony novel by the bestselling author of The Summer of Broken Rules.

Audrey Barbour has had enough of following the rules. Eighteen years of being the perfect daughter--exceptional grades, enviable college acceptances, tame dating history--and still, her parents don't trust her enough to let her study her passion, glassblowing, on a prestigious fellowship.

So when her best friend Henry proposes an outrageous fake-dating scheme to win back his ex-girlfriend, it feels like the first step to shaking up her perfect life. And the second? That comes when Audrey's parents go out of town, sparking a high-risk, high-reward solution to pay for her fellowship--renting out her family's Connecticut mansion online. With the help of her new fake-boyfriend, it shouldn't be hard to pull off... right?

But when her best intentions start to unravel, Audrey will have to reckon with who she is, what she wants, and what it really means to play life by her rules--all with her heart on the line.
