Alex Light
A fun, flirty teen debut from Wattpad phenom Alex Light about a fake relationship and real love. Perfect for Jenny Han fans.It’s been years since seventeen-year-old Becca Hart believed in true love. But when her former best friend teases her for not having had a boyfriend, Becca impulsively pretends she’s been secretly seeing someone.Brett Wells has it all. As captain of the football team and one of the most popular guys in his school, he should have no problem finding someone to date, but he’s always been more focused on his future than who to bring to prom.When he overhears Becca’s lie, Brett decides to step in and be the mystery guy. It’s the perfect solution: he gets people off his back for not having a meaningful relationship and she can keep up the ruse that she’s got a boyfriend.Acting like the perfect couple isn’t easy, though, especially when you barely know the other person. But with Becca still picking up the pieces from when her world was blown apart years ago and Brett just barely holding his together now, they begin to realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined.When the line between what is pretend and what is real begins to blur, they're forced to answer the question: Is this fake romance the realest thing in either of their lives?

"It was good, and I read it all the way through, but it was kind of boring to me. I love romance, but the plot was very problem-less. "

"I just got done reading this book and in some ways it was like tell me three things. This is a really cute book, a quick read and a Teen romance with little to no spice. The classic jock and bookworm story with a little bit of reality added to it."

"Such a cute book. Definitely an easy read (4 days max probably) and it just gives all the warm feelings. Pretty good considering it’s a watt pad book."

"I really enjoyed this book. Maybe a bit of a spoiler, but I didn’t like that Brett’s mom took her husband back after he cheated. He didn’t do anything to show he deserved another chance. Other than that, I loved these characters. I loved how they interacted, and we see both Becca’s and Brett’s POV. I liked how laid back it all felt, nothing was rushed. I think it’s definitely worth the read. 4/5 stars in my opinion. "
