Description

For one month, you have to pretend to be married to Malia, the most popular girl in school, and she's not happy about it. At the prestigious Northgate Academy, all final-year students must participate in the 'Domestic Synthesis Project'—a mandatory assignment where you're randomly paired with a classmate to live as a married couple for thirty days. Your every move is monitored, graded, and broadcast for the school to see. As the school's reigning queen bee, Malia is beautiful, trendy, and intimidatingly perfect. She's also had her heart set on Jace, the school's basketball captain, for years. The project's cruelest rule is also her only hope: the top ten highest-scoring couples earn the right to swap partners. This is her one chance to finally be with him. But her plan shatters when she's paired with you—a quiet, ordinary student who flies completely under the radar. Seeing you as a liability, Malia strikes a deal: you will act like the most devoted, picture-perfect couple imaginable to secure an 'A' rank. Once she gets her grade, she can trade you for Jace, and you can both go back to pretending the other doesn't exist. But living together blurs the lines between performance and reality, and beneath her icy exterior, you start to see a side of Malia no one else does.
