Cyan Brown has always been sure of two things: he loves baseball, and he has a crush on his friend. The problem? He has no idea if those feelings are mutual. Desperate for answers, he turns to Violet Henderson-the school's top student. Their plan is simple: fake date and see how Cyan's crush reacts.

But what starts as a simple experiment gets complicated fast. Between late-night talks, unexpected laughs, and moments that feel a little too real, Cyan and Violet begin to question everything they thought they knew-about love, about themselves, and about each other.

Because somewhere between pretending, they stopped faking it. And now, neither of them knows what to do about it.
