A New York Times Bestseller
From the New York Times bestselling author of Better Than the Movies, this âentertainingâ (Publishers Weekly) rom-com in the vein of Sheâs All That and 10 Things I Hate About You follows a teen girl who unwittingly finds herself at the center of a bet while working at a waterpark.
When seventeen-year-old Bailey starts a new job at a hotel waterpark, she is less than thrilled to see an old acquaintance is one of her coworkers. Bailey met Charlie a year ago on the long flight to Omaha, where she moved after her parentsâ divorce. Charlieâs cynicism didnât mix well with Baileyâs carefully well-behaved temperament, and his endless commentary was the irritating cherry on top of an already emotionally fraught trip.
Now, Bailey and Charlie are still polar opposites, but instead of everything about him rubbing Bailey the wrong way, she starts to look forward to hanging out and gossiping about the waterpark guests and their coworkersâparticularly two who keep flirting with each other. Bailey and Charlie make a bet on whether or not the cozy pair will actually get together. Charlie insists that members of the opposite sex canât just be friends, and Bailey is determined to prove him wrong.
Bailey and Charlie keep close track of the romantic progress of others while Charlie works to deflect the growing feelings heâs developed for Bailey. Terrified to lose her if his crush becomes known, what doesnât help his agenda is Bailey and Charlie âfake datingâ in order to disrupt the annoying pleasantries between Baileyâs mom and her momâs new boyfriend. Soon, what Charlie was hoping to avoid becomes a reality as Bailey starts to see him as not only a friend she can rely on in the midst of family dramaâbut someone who makes her hands shake and heart race. But Charlie has a secretâa secret that involves Bailey and another bet Charlie may have made. Can the two make a real go of thingsâ¦or has Charlieâs secret doomed them before they could start?
