      Nach »Better than the Movies« die neue unwiderstehliche YA-Romance von SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautorin Lynn Painter. Die 17-jährige Bailey ist alles andere als begeistert, als sie an ihrem ersten Arbeitstag im Wasserpark eines Hotels auf Charlie trifft. Sie hat keine guten Erinnerungen an ihre letzte Begegnung mit dem sarkastischen und unverschämt attraktiven Draufgänger kurz nach der Scheidung ihrer Eltern vor drei Jahren. Und noch immer könnten die sensible Bailey und Charlie unterschiedlicher nicht sein. So ist sie selbst überrascht, dass sie seine Gesellschaft jeden Tag mehr genießt. Denn langweilig wird es mit Charlie nie. Als er mit ihr wettet, dass Jungen und Mädchen niemals einfach nur Freunde sein können, geht sie darauf ein. Auf keinen Fall würde sie sich in ihn verlieben! Doch als Charlie ihr in einer Notsituation aus der Patsche hilft, droht Bailey nicht nur die Wette zu verlieren, sondern auch ihr Herz ... Für alle, die diese Tropes lieben: *Fake Dating* *Forced Proximity* *Friends to Lovers* *Opposites attract* In wunderschöner Ausstattung mit farbigem Buchschnitt.
