(She fails.) She's also a very Eve Brown sort of character which made her POV super fun. Gemma is dealing with the discovery of her long-lost sister, the responsibility of caring for the ghost she accidentally turned solid (with her mouth), and the stress of trying not to fall on his mouth again. The sarcasm and banter is so fun but then you'll be slapped in the face with Deep Emotional Questions that make you feel very deeply for these characters. What a bonkers delight this story is with its ghostly makeout sessions and forced proximity/fake relationship and interdimensional theory, all grounded with that trademark Beharrie emotional depth.

Proximity pushes their relationship to become more real than fake, but familial baggage could cost them their happy ending. When the tabloids mistake Jada and Donovan for a couple, Jada goes with it in order to save face, and Donovan, seeing an opportunity to increase sales for his failing cupcakery, agrees to fake a relationship. Jada must prove her ability to be responsible and hold down real work in order to gain access to her trust fund. She's working to restore her image when her grandmother, the owner of a San Diego football team, ropes her into working at Sugar Blitz bakery, which is owned by the team's star, Donovan Dell. Jada Townsend-Matthews is infamous for turning down the proposal of a fan favorite contestant on a reality-TV dating show. Opposites attract in this low-angst rom-com from Wesley (Make the Play), which follows a self-centered reality star and a rule-following, cupcake baking football player who fake a relationship to save his bakery.
