![]() On top of the fact that I just really loved Ace and Karina together, there was also the presence of stereotypical tropes that had me loving this book. ![]() As I’ve mentioned, I’m a big fan of Ace and was already half way in love with him before I was even a 1/4 of the way through this book. There is also the romance that must be discussed. Also, did I mention he’s a musical man? I’ll let you read the book to find out how he’s involved in music, but know, it’s swoony. He accepts Karina for who she is, is by her side when she needs him or away when she needs space, and he handles his own problems really well. Ace is just so wonderful!

T-minus twenty-eight days until everything returns to normal-but what if Karina no longer wants it to? Though Karina agrees, she can’t help but start counting down the days until her parents come back. But Ace Clyde does everything right-he brings her coffee in the mornings, impresses her friends without trying, and even promises to buy her a dozen books (a week) if she goes along with his fake-dating facade. Pretending to date him? Out of the question. Tutoring the school’s resident bad boy was already crossing a line. Instead, one simple lie unravels everything. When her parents go abroad to Bangladesh for four weeks, Karina expects some peace and quiet. Keep her head down, get through high school without a fuss, and follow her parents’ rules-even if it means sacrificing her dreams. How do you make one month last a lifetime? A reserved Bangladeshi teenager has twenty-eight days to make the biggest decision of her life after agreeing to fake date her school’s resident bad boy.
