An "it" couple's breakup becomes a sporting event in a deliciously
charming novel about the games people play in the name of love.
First, math genius and gamer-nerd Samaya gets dumped by her boyfriend.
Then he sabotages her job and hooks up with her frenemy. What could be
worse? Clearly, her golden-boy ex is winning the breakup. The only way
Samaya can get some rebound cred is to find someone new. Even if she has
to fake it.
At a volunteer bake sale, Samaya meets a sweet opportunity. Daniel is a
handsome hockey jock and a whiz when it comes to lemon squares and
brownies. And he agrees to play along. Quid pro quo. He'll pretend to be
the boyfriend of her dreams if Samaya helps him pass calculus.
This may well be the recipe for the best revenge, but Samaya has no idea
how complicated it will get. As they whip up an imitation romance, and a
bumbleberry pie, resisting each other's very real charms proves
impossible. Samaya finds herself on an unexpected journey of secrets,
self-discovery, and the true meaning of moving on.
