The Metaphor of Fake Dating

When Star Lively agrees to the outrageous plan of pretending to be her ex-step-cousin’s girlfriend for the week, she’s doing it for the free vacation and the chance to skip out on her own personal drama for a few days. No one at the Lake Brazos Resort knows that Star and Jackson used to be semi-related, so pretending to be his girlfriend is not a big deal, right?
But when Star meets Bryson, the broody Brazos City local, she can’t take her eyes off him. If she can’t make it through the week as a convincing fake girlfriend, she’ll seriously ruin Jackson’s life. But if she doesn’t let Bryson know the truth, she’ll miss out on her perfect guy. As it turns out, fake dating can be a lot harder than real dating.
