Description

One year. One role. And a love she can’t control.

Alynna Paredes is used to being invisible. She's the poor girl with big dreams and zero options. But everything changes when her wealthy half-sister, Janina, offers her a once-in-a-lifetime deal:

Take her place at an elite college for one year.

New name. New life. Full ride.

The rules? Keep the secret. Don’t mess it up. Absolutely no falling in love.

Too bad no one warned her about Sky Anderson. He’s charming, arrogant, and exactly the kind of heartbreak she can’t afford. When they strike a fake dating deal to get his ex off his back, Alynna’s simple plan spirals into a web of secrets, lies… and something dangerously real.

Now she’s living a life that was never meant to be hers, with feelings that are getting harder to fake… and even harder to hide.

Note: This is a teen fiction novel.

Advance Praise

I thoroughly enjoyed this read! I love the chemistry of all the characters and it was laugh out loud funny! Even though I finished this book some time ago the chaos and quirkiness of the characters has stayed with me! This is a wacky wild ride of antics and romance!

Ok, so I’m probably one of the people who got the edited version of this book. I just want to say that this is my first time reading a book written by a Filipino, and I can honestly say that this author is very, very promising.

Looking at the dynamics of this story, it felt so youthful since the author herself wrote it at a young age. But now that she’s in her 30s, who knows how much greater her writing has become?

I laughed out loud through the entire book, especially during that experiment she did in the bathroom lmaooo! And why is no one talking about the parallelism between Janina’s and Alynna’s last words at the end of the book?? That moment made this a five-star read for me. What an ending to a journey. So excited for Book 2!!
