SPOILER ALERT!!!!!  Jenna gets a text message from her fiance that their engagement is over. He's had a change of heart. He's found someone new. And who's that someone new? Only her long time best friend Lacey. Jenna is absolutely broken. She lost the two most important people in her life, because of their deceitfullness. She's pretty bitter. Jenna is finished with school and moves back home to work with her dad. Her dad has a co worker, named Sutter.  Sutter is not only her childhood crush, but Lacey's brother. Sutter needs Jenna's help. He's met Adam, Jenna's ex and now  Lacey's fiance. And he doesn't like him at all. He asks Jenna to help prove to his sister what a mistake she's going to make by marrying this womanizer. Jenna reluctantly agrees. Sutter and Jenna have a pretend, but it's not a pretend relationship. They've already hooked up. Their putting their relationship on hold, to save Lacey. See,  they want Adam to think Jenna's moved on, and is dating Sutter. Adam will get jealous and try to 're hook up with Jenna. Lacey will see this, then dump him. And that is the main plot of their plan. I thought the book was just  ok. I have a main problem with Lacey. She is not a friend, and I'm sorry but there is no forgiving a best friend who can do that.  I  just couldn't get passed that. I also had a problem with Adam. The way he pursued Jenna was not believable. It was so direct and too far fetched. I thought it was a bit overdone. And then there's Sutter and Jenna. I really liked them as a couple, but I wasn't  feeling enough chemistry. I thought his whole storyline for leaving his job in Chicago to be kind of silly. He was a womanizing player and didn't like where his life was going. It took a fairytale show on television to make him realize he needed to go back home. And because of this he and his parents wanted to make sure he was fully reformed before starting a serious relationship. Really? He sounds like a normal young guy to me. I didn't think it was as big of a deal the author made it to be. I don't know. This story just fell a little flat for me. I'm sorry.
