Beckett Lane . . . How do you begin to explain Beckett Lane?
Beckett Lane is a legend.
He has more ex-girlfriends than letters in the alphabet.
He once dated twins at the same time . . . without either of them knowing.
I hear he has a secret love child with a supermodel in Colorado.
One time he starred in a toothbrush commercial . . . It was awesome.
There's no one Wren Richardson hates more than notorious playboy Beckett Lane. Everyone is under his spell because of his Greek god-like looks and famous dad, but Wren sees through it and can't stand the guy. So when Beckett humiliates her angelic sister, Kennedy, in front of the entire high school, Wren vows revenge.
Teaming up with Beckett's exes to make a documentary, she plans to show the world exactly who he really is. Because she's the only one not susceptible to The Beckett Effect. Isn't she . . . ? Only, as she gets closer to Beckett, Wren wonders if there's more to the school's biggest womaniser than she realised. Is the line between hate and love as clear-cut as she once thought?
'With the effortless charm of a classic rom-com, this effervescent romance captures the rush of feeling not only seen but known.' — Kirkus
