About this listen

Yay, I'm engaged… to the biggest jerk in Hollywood.

If Finn Lockhart ever wrote an AITA post, the answer would be a unanimous yes.

Why am I engaged to someone I can't stand? Funny story. I work for Finn, the costume designer on his latest movie. One day on set, I dropped a box of cufflinks.

Finn kneeled down to help. The paparazzi snapped a photo. Voilà—engagement.

The fake news goes viral. Suddenly, Hollywood's most notorious (and hottest) bachelor is off the market. And his PR team? Obsessed.

Finn's stressed about the film, and I'm not one to ruin a good production. So, I play along. I move into his absurdly luxurious penthouse, where his cat gives me side-eye from a marble windowsill.

Clearly, brooding disdain runs in the family.

But I know how this story goes. Men like Finn don't fall in love. Especially not with women like me.

Then his lips crash onto mine.

And suddenly, pretending is the most dangerous thing I've ever done.

The Hating Game meets Anyone But You—but she's a costume designer, he's Hollywood's hottest problem, and one dropped cufflink launches them into a fake engagement with real feelings and zero escape plan.
