Synopsis

He's her shy, quiet, and bookish best friend...
And turns out to be the swooniest fake boyfriend ever?

My name is Daisy Carmichael, and I’m used to being disappointed.

My four younger siblings need me, my mom depends on me, and somehow I’m always the one holding everything together.

Except when my dream college waitlists me, sealing off my dream of escape, I don’t know how much longer I can keep it together.

Even worse, my ex is back in town. The same ex who dumped me without warning last fall. Now he’s asking for another chance, and despite everything, a big part of me wants to say yes.

Which is where Jamie Brighton comes in.

My quiet, bookish best friend has always been there when I need him. So in a moment of desperation, when I ask him to stop me from making a terrible decision, he agrees.

By kissing me at a party.

In front of everyone.

Now I have a new plan: fake date Jamie, get over my ex, and survive the summer with my heart intact. Except fake dating my best friend is a lot harder than I expected.

Especially when I find out Jamie is really good at pretending…

And I’m not sure I want him to anymore.


Beauty and the Bookworm is a best friends to lovers, fake relationship, sweet YA romance with all the swoon and none of the spice. If you like quiet, bookish boys, bubbly, sunshine-like girls, and swoonworthy slow burns, the second book in the Beauties and Boys duology is for you!
