"A girl who created a fake boyfriend to impress her family is shocked when the fictional boy shows up on her family vacation to Hawaii"--

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Two strangers, one tropical island, and lots of lies in this funny beach romance from the author of Love & Other Great Expectations!

Aspiring nature photographer Kenzie Reed just can't get her straitlaced family of optometrists to take her art seriously. She's resigned to putting aside her dreams and accepting the depressing life that awaits her at the family business. She even makes up a fake, boring boyfriend—Jacob—to get her parents off her back.

But when the Reeds arrive in Hawaii for spring break, Kenzie is shocked that "Jacob" shows up at the airport—and joins their vacation. Kenzie can't reveal him as a fraud without confessing her lie, so she's stuck playing along while trying to find out who he really is.

No way is she going to actually fall for him—because even though he's funny, nice, smart, and cute, he's also a liar. Isn't he?

Filled with warm summer breezes and salty sea air, Becky Dean's Picture-Perfect Boyfriend will sweep you off your feet into a tropical paradise, sun on your shoulders—where love is just around a palm tree.
