This Time It’s Real

Get Ready to fall in LOVE in this hilarious rom-com!

When 16-year-old Eliza Lin’s personal essay about meeting

the love of her life goes viral, she gets everything she’s

ever wanted: the approval of her new classmates, a rare internship

opportunity at her favourite publisher, and a devoted online

following who think her relationship is #couplegoals.

The only problem? Eliza made the whole essay up.

In fact, Eliza’s never even been in a relationship before, let

alone in love. All good writing is lying, right? Desperate to cover

up the truth, Eliza makes a deal with her classmate Caz: she’ll

help him write his college applications if he poses as her

boyfriend. But Caz plays the role of boyfriend a bit too well…

But Eliza’s carefully crafted image begins to unravel as the relationship

with Caz becomes more and more real. Can she still follow

her dreams if it means breaking her own heart?

Perfect for BookTok, and fans of Jenny Han and Crazy

Rich Asians.

Laugh-out-loud funny, and full of heart from a brand-new

star in YA rom-coms.
