Book Overview

by Kara Loo (Author), Jennifer Young (Author)

"Fake dating + reality TV drama + murder mystery = an absolutely addictive read."--Mia P. Manansala, author of the award-winning Arsenic and Adobo

In this sizzling rom-com perfect for fans of Dial A for Aunties and One to Watch, a reality show contestant must fake date her rival . . . while solving a murder mystery on set.

Alice Chen doesn't believe in true love, but she does believe in cold, hard cash. Buckling under the weight of student debt and her mother's medical bills, Alice will do anything to make bank-even star on Dawn Tay's Inferno, the hot new reality TV show designed to push couples to their breaking point.

The show is Alice's chance to sip cocktails on the beach and win a cash prize of a million dollars. But when her fiancé cheats on her with another contestant, Alice is faced with a choice: go home in defeat or fake date the other newly single contestant--who just so happens to be her high school rival and sworn nemesis, Daniel Cho.

But all's fair in love and reality TV, and Alice isn't the only one who will do whatever it takes to win. When a dead body turns up, Alice and Daniel are faced with uncovering the secrets of the cast and crew to catch the killer-all while playing the loving couple on camera. As the show spirals out of control, Alice must crack the case and confront her true feelings if she wants to make it out alive.

Starring a murder mystery twist, plenty of reality show drama, and a thrilling romance, this debut by up-and-coming Asian American writer duo Kara Loo and Jennifer Young is the ultimate beach read.
