Overview

Holly Dayton is about to go way out of her comfort zone. . .

Spending Christmas vacation on a cruise with her two cousins from hell isn't Holly's idea of a good time. And when in a moment of seasick-fueled desperation she lurches into an open suite--she's greeted with an eyeful of pepper spray. The culprit? A gorgeous guy calling himself Nick. But when Holly goes to make her exit, she gets the shock of her life: a corridor crammed with screaming teenage fans. Because Nick just happens to be Dominic Wyatt, drummer for ReadySet--one of the hottest bands in America.

Suddenly rumors are swirling, and Holly's face is captured on countless phones and plastered all over the Internet. But the band can't risk a scandal destroying their family-friendly image, so Dominic convinces Holly to be his fake girlfriend--just for two weeks. How bad could it be to be fauxmantically involved with one of the cutest rockstars on the planet? Holly's about to find out. . .

"Fans of Meg Cabot will find Marni's voice equally charming and endearing."--Julie Kagawa, New York Times bestselling author

Editorials

School Library Journal

Gr 8–10β€”Holly is the typical plain girl heroine of so many young adult novels. Dominic is the heartthrob drummer in a popular indie rock band. So when they both end up on a Christmas cruise, it is inevitable that they meet. What is less inevitable is that they find themselves pretending to be involved in a hot romance in order to feed his media image. No one will be surprised to learn that they end up falling in love for real. This novel is for teen girls who like their holiday reading light and fluffy.β€”Virginia A. Walter, UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies
