Devin Baez is ready for a relaxing winter break at Lake Andreas. That is, until he runs into his obnoxious next-door neighbors the Seo-Cookes, undefeated champions of the lake's annual Winter Games. After the Baezes offer up their cabin to their rivals in a reckless bet to finally take them down, more than just family pride is on the line.

So when annoyingly handsome Julian Seo-Cooke finds himself in need of a fake boyfriend, Devin sees an opportunity to get behind enemy lines and snoop for proof that Julian and his family have been playing dirty for years.

As long as Devin and Julian's families are at war, there's no room for anything but loathing between them. Which is a problem because, for Devin, this faux game of love is beginning to feel a little too real.

Reviews for Caught in a Bad Fauxmance

"“There’s nothing faux about the iron grip this book has on my heart. I’m in urgent care right now because I swooned so hard I pulled a muscle!” —Sonora Reyes, National Book Award Finalist “Sharp, hilarious, and pure delight. Caught in a Bad Fauxmance combines the comfort of familiar tropes with the thrill of an original story that left me rooting for Devin and Julian through the very last page.” —Robbie Couch, New York Times bestselling author of If I See You Again Tomorrow “An utterly charming debut filled to the brim with humor and heart. I adored being immersed in it. Choco pies. Broccoli. The pier. Tres leches cake. Devin and Julian’s delightful journey is the kind of fauxmance you won’t soon forget!” —Mia Sosa, USA Today bestselling author of The Worst Best Man “Caught in a Bad Fauxmance is such a charming debut! Elle Gonzalez Rose wrote a novel that made me laugh and cry; it touched all parts of me that adore books about first loves and family joy.” —Tif Marcelo, USA Today bestselling author of The Holiday Switch ""A charming and hilarious debut that puts a fresh new spin on the fake dating trope!"" —Adiba Jaigirdar, award-winning author of Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating and Henna Wars “Caught in a Bad Fauxmance gave the summer-camp-romance vibes in the middle of winter that I never knew I needed! Effortlessly witty and warm. I adored every minute in Devin’s snarky, creative mind, with his lovably chaotic family, and in his cozy lakeside town!” —Kaitlyn Hill, author of Love from Scratch and Not Here to Stay Friends"
