THE FAKE-UP

TWO EXES. ONE BIG SECRET. LET THE GAMES BEGIN

Dylan and Flo are in love. The only trouble is, they broke up months ago and everyone was delighted for them.
At first, it's exciting sneaking around, hiding from disapproving friends, climbing through bedroom windows to avoid family, and concocting hilarious disguises. It's like Romeo and Juliet. With more sex and less poison.
But soon it becomes harder to separate truth from lies. Dylan and Flo are in way over their heads, and the games have only just begun . . .

THE FAKE-UP is an entertaining novel with a big emotional heart, full of sharp social observation and both lovable and exasperating supporting characters. Temptations and misunderstandings from all sides will keep you guessing – will Flo and Dylan make it as a couple?
