Kasie West has done it again! 
If you're ever in the mood for a cutesy fluffy story you should pick this or any of her other books up.
This story follows Gia, a senior and all around perfect highschool girl. After months of telling her tight knit group about the college guy she's been seeing they still don't believe he's real - thanks to the new comer in the group, Jules. So finally on prom night Gia is thrilled to finally show off her very real boyfriend, only to have him dump her before entering the prom. Desperate to prove her friends wrong she enlists the help of a stranger who's name she doesn't even know to be her fill in date. The night goes well enough, though ending on a sour note for her fill-in-boyfriend, but desperate to see him one last time Gia tries to appeal to his sister Bec, who she never even communicated with once despite having classes with her. 
This leads to a second fake date for Gia and Fill-in-Bradley, AKA Hayden, as he tries to make his ex-girlfriend jealous and hopefully regret cheating on him with his best friend. 
In the midst of all the fake dates and acting, somewhere along the line the feelings become real for Gia. 
But with a frenemy out to get her kicked out of the group, an ex who now wants her back, her fill-in boyfriend being wanted by not only herself but his ex as well, and all sorts of other drama with family, friends, and life choices, Gia finds herself changing, and maybe for the better.

This was such an adorable read, but despite that I really wanted more...it was like the build up in finding out Hayden's real name. The ending fell short after all the build up of drama, I really just wanted a cat fight between Gia and Jules, or Gia and Hayden's ex, just something more.
