A brand-new celeb x fan fake dating romance, perfect for fans of Lauren Asher and Elsie Silver.

What do you get when a celebrity and a fan meet on a dating app?

Meet Jessy and Patrick.

All Jessy wants is to figure out what to do with her life. She hates her job, lives in a crappy London apartment and her love life is non-existent. . .

That is until her twin sister begs her to join her newly launched dating app, Butterflies.

Lead singer and front man of These Exiles, Patrick just wants a break after coming off tour. But when he's mistakenly arrested, his record label insists on doing damage control. Their latest scheme? Getting Patrick on the dating apps and into a relationship.

When Jessy and Patrick match on Butterflies, neither plan to actually meet. . . but then they literally bump into each other and chaos ensues. With their faces plastered all over the internet, and Patrick's record label jumping on the publicity, the two find themselves unexpectedly 'dating.'

Can they keep up the farce in front of the whole world, or will they start to believe their own lie?
