Faking It (Losing It, #2)

by Cora Carmack

Every girl likes a bad boy...

And Max's current boyfriend is as bad as they come. She knows her family would freak if they saw his tattoos and piercings.

So when her parents turn up unannounced Max grabs the most wholesome guy she can to play her boyfriend.

But Cade Winston is so perfect that Max needs him to keep playing the part. And the more they have to fake their relationship, the harder it gets to just pretend...

OMG guys! Faking It is such a perfect story! It's fun and light but also has dark undercurrents of depression and self hatred, the love story is phenomenal and the characters fantastic. I cannot think of one way Carmack could've made this better!

We all remember Cade from Losing It; the sweet, kind best friend who got his heart shattered into million pieces in front of our eyes.
Cade is still not over Bliss. So meeting her and her boyfriend - who is not him - for lunch? not his definition of fun. Thank god they had to bail fast.
All Max wanted was for her parents to lay off her back. Unfortunately, if they met her real boyfriend that would never happen. So she went to the only nice guy library-visiting looking type around and begged him to pretend he's It.
Max has 'bad girl' written all over her, but for some reason Cade's attracted to her, so he says yes.
And then he... wins over her family!? Oh, the nerve! Now Max is kind of stuck with him playing her boyfriend for at least another day.
And another day turns into two, which turns into a week, and sometime in there Cade starts wanting to be her real, and she starts thinking that maybe nice guys aren't so bad, after all...
