A New York Times Bestseller

From the New York Times bestselling author of Better Than the Movies, this entertaining (Publishers Weekly) rom-com in the vein of She's All That and 10 Things I Hate About You follows a teen girl who unwittingly finds herself at the center of a bet while working at a waterpark.

When seventeen-year-old Bailey starts a new job at a hotel waterpark, she is less than thrilled to see an old acquaintance is one of her coworkers. Bailey met Charlie a year ago on the long flight to Omaha, where she moved after her parents' divorce. Charlie's cynicism didn't mix well with Bailey's carefully well-behaved temperament, and his endless commentary was the irritating cherry on top of an already emotionally fraught trip.

Now, Bailey and Charlie are still polar opposites, but instead of everything about him rubbing Bailey the wrong way, she starts to look forward to hanging out and gossiping about the waterpark guests and their coworkers--particularly two who keep flirting with each other. Bailey and Charlie make a bet on whether or not the cozy pair will actually get together. Charlie insists that members of the opposite sex can't just be friends, and Bailey is determined to prove him wrong.

Charlie keeps close track of his coworkers' romantic progress while working to deflect his own growing feelings for Bailey. It would be much easier if Bailey and Charlie hadn't started fake dating as part of a scheme to help Bailey cope with her mom's new boyfriend. Charlie would like Bailey to see him as something other than a friend, but he has a secret involving Bailey and another bet...

Can the two of them make a real go of things--or has Charlie doomed them before they could start?
