Heartbreakers and Fakers

About Heartbreakers and Fakers

A fresh voiced, hilarious rom-com about fake-dating and broken friendships, perfect for fans of Lynn Painter, Meg Cabot, and Jenny Han.

It’s the start of summer and Penny Harris just ruined her life. She kissed Kai Tanaka.  

Kai, her long-time nemesis.

Kai, her best friend’s boyfriend.

Penny can’t figure out what could have inspired her to do it–she loves her own boyfriend, Jordan, and she would never hurt her best friend, Olivia–but one thing’s for sure: freshly dumped, and out a best friend, the idyllic summer she pictured is over.

And despite the fact that Jordan seems to be seeking comfort (and a whole lot more) in Olivia, all Penny can think about is winning him back. Kai wants to save his relationship too, so they come up with a plan: convince their friends that they really do have feelings for each other. After all, no one can resist a good love story, and maybe seeing Penny and Kai together will make Jordan and Olivia change their minds.

But as summer heats up, so does Penny and Kai’s “relationship,” and Penny starts to question whether she’s truly faking it with Kai, if he’s as terrible as she always thought he was, and if the life she’s fighting so hard to get back is the one she really wants.
