Allie has sworn off dating. Which is unfortunate, because the cute guy at the grocery store has finally struck up a conversation, and shy and sweet Ben is even more adorable than he looks. When an ex shows up trying to rekindle the flame at the same time her mother tries to set her up with a neighbor, Allie ropes Ben into being her fake boyfriend to get everyone off her back. Ben has been in love with the stranger at the grocery store for months despite never speaking to her. When he finally works up the courage to say hi, he's suddenly thrown into a fake relationship with no chance of things becoming real. Not unless he helps Allie on her journey of self-discovery. A weekend of pretending to be a couple turns into weeks of hanging out and discovering together the people they want to be. But despite Allie's growing feelings for practically perfect Ben, she isn't sure she can risk the best friendship she's ever had when all of her past relationships have failed. Or maybe a little risk is worth a chance at real love.
