Packing up pictures, old hockey jerseys and his vast collection of O-Pee-Chee hockey cards, Todd reminisces about his youth as a player and avid fan in a comical and poignant coming of age.

Except, Kara has grown indifferent toward her boyfriend, doesn’t care much about her parents’ money, and hates shopping. Her motto is “fake it till you make it,” and it’s been doing her just fine, even if “perfect” doesn’t actually mean “happy.” When Kara receives birthday gifts full of betrayal and heartache, her perfect life begins to crumble. All Kara wants is to continue her grandpa’s legacy by joining the family law business to help those less fortunate. Gramps is Kara’s role model, and after she graduates from college, she wants to use the power of law to help people. But with her anxiety, stage fright, and well-practiced faux life, convincing her parents she’s ready for the pre-law track seems impossible. Her parents have a different plan for her—marry someone who meets their prerequisites for love.

As their charade progresses, their chemistry grows, and Kara has to keep herself from falling for swoon-worthy, secret-keeping Dean. After all, how can two people living a lie ever truly experience love? Soon, Kara must choose: accept her true self and risk heartbreak, or keep faking it till she gets everything she’s worked for.
