In the hope of finally taking down these long-time rivals, the Baezes offer up their beloved cabin in a bet. Reckless? Definitely.

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!
