EVERYONE THINKS THEY’RE SINGLE. BUT THEY’RE LIVING DOUBLE LIVES.
Dylan and Flo are exes for a reason. It seems like everyone in the world knows why they broke up, and everyone picked a side.

The Fake-Up is laced with the author's signature wit and wisdom, and is another absolute banger. Myers is the master of the comic metaphor, the mistress of the modern romcom - and nobody does pop culture better!
In Flo and Dylan, Justin Myers has created two utterly loveable characters you'll really root for. Cheeky, fun and uplifting, The Fake-Up is just what the world needs right now!
Justin Myers has done it again - a brilliantly funny reimagining of the romcom, full of helter-skelter twists
The Fake-Up is everything I want from a rom com. It's warm, funny and whip smart. I feel like I know all the characters, they just leap off the page. I couldn't put it down
Riotously funny and ridiculously clever. Justin somehow manages to make you snort with laughter and move you to tears within a few pages - I don't know how he does it. It's a brilliant story and compelling AF. The Fake-Up absolutely cements Justin as one of my fave writers
