Goodreads Synopsis
James Parson has a problem. His military dad is going to yank him out of his expensive boarding school if James doesn’t prove he’s no longer hooking up, pulling pranks, and charming his way out of consequences. What better way to show he’s now responsible than becoming the committed boyfriend of a U.S. diplomat’s daughter?
Level-headed, book-smart Edelweiss may have traveled the world thanks to her dad’s job, but when it comes to friends and boys, she knows exactly nothing. Newly enrolled in boarding school, Edel is now on a mission to learn it all. James says he’ll help her experience the ultimate high school life—if she’ll be his fake girlfriend. And fake is perfect, because he’s exactly the kind of player she’d never date.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.
Convincing her parents to let her attend a real school, albeit a boarding school for privileged teens was a challenge, but Edelweiss wants the true high school experience before college. She may have travelled the world, but making friends, dealing with bullies and coping with boy trouble is completely different. She meets James Parson, the son of her father's friend, and though he's the resident bad boy, he needs to settle down or he loses his place at school, and his future. Coming up with a plan to pretend to date to satisfy their parents, Edel and James soon realise that the friendship they have is blossoming into something more, and they might not be completely happy with a fake relationship.
This was a really sweet YA contemporary romance, perfect to read on a rainy weekend. Edel and James had never met before, but because of their father's friendship, they had someone they could rely on at the school. I loved their first meeting, and the easy going nature of their friendship. They had their ups and downs, and there were some heartfelt familial moments in the book, but the friendships and experiences that Edel had during the book was great! A solid book!
