**"A witty, romantic, deeply insightful debut." --Emma Lord, author of

In this sparkling and romantic YA debut, a reserved Bangladeshi-American
teenager has twenty-eight days to make the biggest decision of her life
after agreeing to fake date her school's resident bad boy.
How do you make one month last a lifetime?**
Karina Ahmed has a plan. Keep her head down, get through high school
without a fuss, and follow her parents' rules--even if it means
sacrificing her dreams. When her parents go abroad to Bangladesh for
four weeks, Karina expects some peace and quiet. Instead, one simple lie
unravels everything.
Karina is my girlfriend.
Tutoring the school's resident bad boy was already crossing a line.
Pretending to date him? Out of the question. But Ace Clyde does
everything right--he brings her coffee in the mornings, impresses her
friends without trying, and even promises to buy her a dozen books (a
week) if she goes along with his fake-dating facade. Though Karina
agrees, she can't help but start counting down the days until her
parents come back.
T-minus twenty-eight days until everything returns to normal--but what
if Karina no longer wants it to?
