This Indigo Exclusive Edition includes a unique, alternate cover, and never-before-seen bonus content straight from the author!!From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Better Than the Movies Lynn Painter comes a heartfelt and banter-filled rom-com about childhood sweethearts whose icy reunion in their hockey-loving hometown unexpectedly thaws when they fake a romantic relationship.Growing up, Dani couldn’t help but follow around the adorable son of her mom’s best friend. Funny, kind of nerdy, and a little soft, Alec was always down to hang with Dani when they were little. From play dates on the playground to sneaking into movie theaters, Dani and Alec were inseparable. Until Dani moved away. Alec promised they’d stay in touch—except, they didn’t.Flash forward and Dani is back in Minnesota for her senior year, she and her mom living with her grandfather. Dealing with the fallout of her parents’ devastating divorce, Dani wouldn’t mind a nerd-out with the cozy and comforting Alec (and maybe a chance to confront him on his MIA status for all these years). But teenage Alec is nothing like the kid Dani remembers. He’s a hockey star in a town where hockey players are worshiped as gods. Dani’s place as his shadow has been taken up by drooling female fans…and he loves it.Dani is resolved to ice out her former best friend until an unlikely series of events brings them together—and forces them to fake being a couple. Once forced together, the former childhood sweethearts begin to reconnect, unearth complicated family secrets, and face their true feelings towards each other…including the real reason Alec has been pushing Dani away all these years.

"I loved everything about this book! The characters were funny, sweet, and had such great chemistry. The fake-dating and ice-skating mix made it really fun to read, and I couldn’t stop smiling at their banter. Lynn Painter did an awesome job showing both the cute moments and the emotional ones. It honestly felt like watching a cozy winter rom-com — I didn’t want it to end!"

Dare I say my new favourite Lynn painter book?
"This was so cute, I loved it. It was fun, heartfelt and incredibly sweet, filled with moments that made me laugh and swoon and some that broke my heart a little. . It was my first Lynn Painter book and I definitely understand why she's loved now. Her writing is beautiful! Dani and Alec were childhood friends, she used to spend summers in his hometown, until Dani stopped coming and they stopped writing to each other too. Years later, Dani's back for her senior year, after her parents divorced, and she's excited and nervous to see her friend. . But Alec is a hockey star now and not the boy she remembers, but neither is she. When they find themselves faking a relationship to help each other out, things might start to feel a little too real. . They might be strangers now, but their connection never truly went away. . I loved Dani, her social anxiety, the loneliness and her tendency to overthinking and overprepare hit too close to home, so how could I not. I loved seeing her come out of her shell, be more social after everything that happened. . I really hated the situation with her dad though. . But seeing her reconnect with her grandad was both endearing and hilarious. . The two of them were absolutely perfect for each other. . Seeing them reconnect was delightful. . The teasing, all the cute moments, the way they cared, all the moments their vulnerability was shown, it was absolutely adorable. And them constantly being interrupted was so funny. I also loved their friend group, they were amazing. Cassie was my favourite though. And then there's Benji, I hope his nose never heals right. . I had fun most of the time, it really was a well written novel. But, the miscommunication being dragged on to the very end, just for us to kind of skip over it, put a damper on an, otherwise, amazing book. I wish it was solved sooner and in a better way. And I, personally, didn't liked all the lyrics being thrown in the dialogue, it messed with the flow of the book. I get that it can be seen as a fun addition, but I found it a little annoying. Overall, I really enjoyed it and this will finally give me the push I needed to read her other books"
