A trade paperback original novel that is perfect for fans of The Amazing Race and Never Ever Getting Back Together by Sophie Gonzales! Former best friends, Yumi and Noelle, must fake date to compete on an all-couples season of their favourite race-around-the-world reality TV show.

In Erin Baldwin's new YA romance novel, fake dating isn't just complicated—it’s competitive.

Good Luck, Babe! is nothing short of iconic... this book is fun and honest and relatable in the best way." -Rachael Lippincott, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl

Reality TV enthusiasts Noelle and Yumi spent ten years attached at the hip—until the summer after junior year. One ill-fated night (and one awkward kiss) ended their friendship, and after a year of no contact, fate throws the girls back together when they're offered a last-minute spot on their favourite show—an Amazing Race analog called The Adventureverse.

It's a chance to put their superfan status to the test, a dream come true. Except for a few snags—It's an all-couples season, filming starts in two days, and Noelle hasn't spoken to her "girlfriend" in a year. But Noelle already has plans to use the prize money on her ailing father's medical expenses. She would do anything for him—including fake date her ex-bestie on national television.

Can Noelle walk a tightrope between reality and TV while juggling a pretend relationship and true feelings? Or will she get sent home empty-handed and brokenhearted?
