Synopsis

THE RIOTOUSLY FUNNY NEW NOVEL FROM JUSTIN MYERS, MASTER OF THE MODERN-DAY ROM COM 'Everything I want from a rom com. It's warm, funny and whip smart' Laura Kay, author of THE SPLIT 'A brilliantly funny reimagining of the romcom, full of helter-skelter twists' Adam Kay, author of THIS IS GOING TO HURT 'Fresh, funny and full of twists and turns' DAILY MAIL __________ TWO EXES. ONE BIG SECRET. LET THE GAMES BEGIN... Dylan and Flo are in love. The only trouble is, they broke up months ago and everyone was delighted for them. At first, it's exciting sneaking around, hiding from disapproving friends, climbing through bedroom windows to avoid family, and concocting hilarious disguises. It's like Romeo and Juliet. With more sex and less poison. But soon it becomes harder to separate truth from lies. Dylan and Flo are in way over their heads, and the games have only just begun . . . __________ What real readers are saying about The Fake-Up 'Dialogue so sharp it could cut you new cheekbones. A wild plot of fake romance against a backdrop of instant fame. Crazy side characters with inspiration from pop culture' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'I could not put the book down, it was a rollercoaster of a journey . . . It reminded me a lot of Sophie Kinsella . . . You will really fall in love with the characters' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'I love Justin Myers' writing and this book, his third, is just brilliant . . . It's enjoyable especially because the characters have flaws, they are human and their situations are not farfetched, while being fantastic. Total triumph!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'A funny, laugh-out-loud story with believable and relatable characters. It gripped me from the very start and kept me up til late in the night' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Just so entertaining and gripping. Impeccable storytelling that I would strongly recommend' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
