She's Faking It

The author of the buzzed-about How to Hack a Heartbreak returns with a breezy, west-coast rom-com about the fall of Instagram influencer Bree in Pacific Beach, San Diego, and her romance with ex-surf star Trey.

You can’t put a filter on reality.

Bree Bozeman isn’t exactly living the life of her dreams. Then again, she isn’t too sure what those dreams are. After quitting med school, she’s living a pretty chill life in the surf community of Pacific Beach, San Diego…if “chill” means delivering food as a GrubGofer, and if it means “uneventful”.

Enter Trey Cantu, the Hawaiian boy next door with the perfect face and chiseled abs—a disgraced former surf star. Bree can’t believe the chemistry they have. And when her Instagram starts to take off, thanks to an endorsement from popular self-help guru Demi DePalma, it seems like Bree might be a rising star.

Maybe, just maybe, following Demi’s action plan will help Bree get her life together. But when she makes a shocking discovery about Demi, everything starts to unravel. And to make matters worse, one of Bree’s posts implicates Trey—who consciously abstains from social media—in a larger scandal. Instagram might be free, but when your life looks perfect on camera, what’s the cost?
