About this listen

 When seventeen-year-old Eliza Lin's essay about meeting the love of her life unexpectedly goes viral, her entire life changes overnight. Now she has the approval of her classmates at her new international school in Beijing, a career-launching internship opportunity at her favourite magazine ... and a massive secret to keep.

Eliza made her essay up. She's never been in a relationship before, let alone in love. All good writing is lying, right?

Desperate to hide the truth, Eliza strikes a deal with the famous actor in her class, the charming but aloof Caz Song. She'll help him write his college applications if he poses as her boyfriend. Caz is a dream boyfriend -- he passes handwritten notes to her in class, makes her little sister laugh, and takes her out on motorcycle rides to the best snack stalls around the city.

But when her relationship with Caz starts feeling a little too convincing, all of Eliza's carefully laid plans are threatened. Can she still follow her dreams if it means breaking her own heart?

'A total delight. Laugh out loud funny, sweet, and romantic, this is a sparkling gem of a book.' MEG CABOT, author of the Princess Diaries series and No Words Asian & Pacific Islander Creators Contemporary Contemporary Romance Romance Heartfelt Dream

Wonderful story, great characters, nice development and growth. the narration was slightly, ever so slightly off on pacing in some parts. Even still, the narrators voice was beautiful and fit the characters well.

Great story, nicely executed.
