    About this audiobook

    Seventeen-year-old Rachel Hill is the girl most likely to succeed. And the girl most likely to have everything under control . . . that is, until her dad invites Nick McGowan, the cutest boy at school, to live with them. Rachel worries that this could only be a recipe for disaster, but her best friend Zoe thinks it’s the perfect opportunity for love. Sparks start to fly for all the wrong reasons. Nick finds Rachel spoiled and uptight and Rachel dismisses Nick as lazy and directionless. But a secret from Nick’s past draws them together and makes the year Nick McGowan came to stay one that Rachel will never forget.

      Rachel is in her senior year and she must focus on getting good grades but then she must focus on other things when Nick McGowan (the hottest guy in school) comes to stay at her house. Nick used to get good grades until something happened over the summer break and now he's the bad kid. Rachel and Nick don't like each other and Rachel creates her own 'fake' boyfriend, just to impress him. As the days go by, they both start to know more about each other and start to discover secrets about each other that were twisted with rumours. Rachel and Nick begin to understand each other and a new friendship also begins.
