This is the kind of love story that starts with a lie.

John Paul Reyes wants to escape the worst truths in his life-other people''s pity since his dad died, and everyone else''s expectations about what he should do with his life now that he''s graduated high school. When he arrives at the Majestic Mountain resort with his Tita Abrigo''s wealthy family, he sees a way to escape-he can be JP Abrigo, rich and set, and he can lie his way to feeling fine.

Mia Malik is trapped in this town, working hard at the resort, trying to escape her broken family and to make her way to the prestigious art program she was accepted into. She''s desperate to afford her way there, and she''s sick of the privileged guests who have the whole world open to them, who don''t really even see her.

But then another staffer dares Mia to make one of the guests fall for her. If she can, she''ll collect enough money to get out. Mia knows this is dangerously against the rules, and doesn''t even want to pretend to like an entitled rich kid, but then she meets JP. Lying to him starts off easy, but then there''s more to him than she expected. And the way JP feels about Mia? So real. As their week together runs out, Mia and JP will have to dig themselves out from the lies they tell to see if there''s any truth in the feelings they have for each other.

A moving, layered young adult novel in two voices about finding truth in the lies we tell ourselves.
