This book is tough to rate and review because the heroine is admittedly not that likeable and the story gets into Mean Girls over the top territory (except for the bus ending!) But West does write well and she's trying to do something challenging with Gia and Hayden (a great hero!). She's trying to actually show them getting over their misunderstandings and managing the fallout of their lie bit by bit. Gia especially has a lot to learn (it's not really clear why Hayden agrees to their fiction, except that he's quirky). Their friendship is great though and Bec is a terrific, feisty character so there's much to enjoy here.
