It’s a delightful mix of fake dating tropes, real emotions, and the struggle to balance public and private lives. Full of twists and heartwarming moments, it’s a perfect blend of romance and self-discovery.

Ever wish you could peek behind those perfect Instagram posts? This book lets you do just that, whisking you off to Paris where social media star Aurie McGinley is about to learn that real life is way messier - and more interesting - than any filtered photo.

On the surface, Aurie's got it all: the picture-perfect relationship with Remy, the dreamy Paris backdrop, and enough followers to fill a small country. But then there's Kylian, who makes her feel something that can't be captured in a carefully staged photo. Watching Aurie navigate between her curated online persona and her messy real-life feelings is like watching a friend figure out what actually matters.

What makes this story work is how it captures those moments we all have - you know, when life refuses to follow the script we've written for it. The romance is swoony as heck (it's Paris, after all), but it's the genuine emotional stuff underneath that really hooks you. Aurie's journey from perfectly posed to perfectly imperfect feels honest in a way that's both uncomfortable and incredibly satisfying.

If you're in the mood for a love story that's more than just pretty pictures - one that'll make you laugh, sigh, and maybe rethink your own Instagram habits - this book is your next great read. Just maybe don't blame me if it makes you want to book a flight to Paris.
