An NPR Book Concierge Pick of the Year

“The fun of this engrossing read is that underneath the slapstick lies a finely nuanced meditation on how we perform as ourselves.” —
New York Times Book Review
 
From the
New York Times bestselling author of Frankly in Love comes a moving young adult novel about friendship, identity, and acceptance. Perfect for fans of John Green and To All the Boys I've Love Before.

When Sunny meets Cirrus, he can't believe how cool and confident she is. So when Cirrus mistakenly thinks Sunny plays guitar, he accidentally winds up telling her he's the front man of a rock band.

Before he knows it, Sunny is knee-deep in the lie: He gets his best friends to form a fake band with him and starts dressing like a rock star. But no way can he trick this amazing girl into thinking he's cool, right?

Just when Sunny is about to come clean, Cirrus asks to see them play sometime.
Gulp.

Now there's only one thing to do: Fake it till you make it.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

Gray’s door was always open, because that’s how Gray liked things. The door to my room was always shut, because that’s how I liked things.
 
My door was blank and unadorned. My door could have led to anything—a linen closet, a brick wall, an alternate universe.
 
You only get one chance to make a &7;rst impression, Mom liked to say. It was characteristically shallow advice, but there was a truth to it that I only now realized.
 
I followed Cirrus, heading left into Gray’s room instead of right into mine.
 
Cirrus had already made herself at home in Gray’s salvaged steel swivel chair. She drummed her fingers on her thighs, as if eager to be introduced to the room’s history.
 
I started to say something, then stopped.
 
I started to say something else, then stopped.
 
I started to—
 
Cirrus eyed me with growing concern.
 
“So are you—” she said.
 
“These are guitars,” I said suddenly. I craned my neck back to look at them. I stretched, sniffed, did all the things amateurs do when gearing up for a big lie. “They’re my guitars.”
 
Cirrus brightened. “Wait. Are you in a band?”
 
“Phtphpthpt,” I said with a full-body spasm. “It’s just a little band, but yes: I am.”
 
Cirrus looked at the guitars again, as if they had changed. “Very cool.”
 
I heard none of this, because my lie was still busy pinging around the inside of my big empty head like a stray shot. Shocking, how easily the lie had slipped out.
 
“You’re more than cool,” continued Cirrus. “You’re brave. Most people barely have hobbies, if they bother to try anything at all. Most people let the dream starve and die in the kill-basement of their soul and only visit the rotting corpse when they themselves are finally on death’s door wondering,
What was I so afraid of this whole time?
 
“Jesus, you’re cynical,” I whispered.
 
Cirrus spotted something behind my guitars [Gray’s guitars]: the torn Mortals flyer. “Is that you?”
 
I cleared my throat, which was already clear. “That’s, uh, my old band,” I said. “We split up. I’m working on a new thing.”
 
“Cool-cool,” said Cirrus, nodding blankly.
 
Then she flashed me a look.
 
Not just any look.
 
The Look.
 
I recognized the Look from when Gray was still at school. The Look was a particular type of glance Gray got often—a combination of burning curiosity barely masked by bogus nonchalance. Everyone badly wanted to know Gray; everyone pretended they didn’t.
 
The Look was the expression people gave to someone doing something well, and with passion. It was an instinctive attraction to creativity—the highest form of human endeavor—expressed by emitting little hearts out of our eyes. It was falling a little bit in love with people who were fashioning something new with their hands and their imaginations.
 
I had always wondered what it would feel like to get the Look, and now I realized I had just found out.
 
The Look was pure deadly sweet terror, and it felt
incredible.
 
I instantly wanted another.

    3.0 out of 5 stars For new young adult readers
    Reviewed in India on 12 February 2023
    Pick up this book if at all you’re in a very young adult contemporary romance mood. This one is okayish for those who just want to start reading a romance novel.

    I feel the writing is okay. The story isn’t boring but I would say it could have been much more shortened than it actually is. But I am not the author so that’s that.
    I felt like it takes forever to reach the story we are all waiting for. It seems like the book started and kept on starting until we reached the last part of the book pissed that the characters need not do much but be more interesting and not chaotic. Of course, young characters are chaotic so expect a lot of the main character’s trying to show off his character and the other main character blinking off and on on her parts. I feel the side characters are more interesting and I wanted to know them more.

    Did I like this book? I would say it lacked a little something in the chemistry, the family and the friendship interactions as how the writing depicts and the main characters need to be more convincing. The romance is just like a candle waiting the entire time to lit up. And we need to know it’s not the match’s fault that the candle doesn’t lit up much. (Not the reader’s fault not finding much chemistry and connection when there’s not much going on with the characters.) bad bad bad comparison, old woman.

    Did I not like the book? I sipped it like I was sipping a cup of tea that got cold and I was too lazy to heat up the pot again. Just sipped it waiting for the caffeine to kick in. Sadly, slowly though. And told myself not to repeat this.

    So you decide.
