Overview

Perfect for fans of Elise Bryant and Katie Cotugno, this fake-dating YA rom-com from Kelsey Rodkey set at a high school election shows that in matters of the heart, you have to elect to be yourself.

Ella knew transferring to a new school wouldn’t be easy. The first day, while defending her sister, Ella makes an enemy out of the student council president and lands in detention. Swearing revenge on him, Ella will stop at nothing to unseat him—even calling for a redo election in which she’s the only one brave enough to run against him.

As a new student, Ella isn’t sure she can secure the votes until she meets unfailingly flirtatious Patrick and hears his wild idea to help her. He’ll pretend to be her boyfriend and show their classmates that she and her ideas for the school aren’t so bad. It’s like something out of her sister’s fan fiction.

But when their fake romance starts feeling too real, and Patrick’s true motives for their arrangement come to light, Ella has to decide what’s more important: Patrick or the polls.

• Fake Relationship: He's the charming, popular guy with a wild idea: pretend to be her boyfriend to win the election. It's a foolproof plan, straight out of her sister’s fan fiction… until it isn’t.
• Academic Rivals: Her fake boyfriend is the key to winning the presidency—until his own motives come to light and he becomes her number one opponent. Now Ella has to choose between the boy she’s falling for and the election she’s fighting for.
• He Falls First: Patrick might be pretending for the polls, but his constant flirting and swoon-worthy support feel anything but fake. He’s all in on Ella, even when she doesn't see it yet.
• Protective Sister: This whole mess started with Ella defending her younger sister, Connie. She’ll do anything to protect her family, even if it means taking on the entire school single-handedly.
