Good Luck, Babe!

Noelle and Yumi were best friends for ten years, bonded by a shared obsession with reality TV. Then one bad night the summer after junior year, capped by an awkward kiss, ended it, and they haven't spoken since. A year later, an unexpected twist of fate hands them a last-minute place on The Adventureverse, a travel competition show modeled on The Amazing Race and the one program they have always loved most.

It's the chance every superfan dreams of, but it comes with problems. This season is open only to couples, cameras start rolling in two days, and Noelle's supposed girlfriend is someone she hasn't talked to in a year. Still, Noelle has a reason to say yes. She wants to put the prize money toward her sick father's medical bills, and she will do whatever it takes to help him, even pretend to date her former best friend in front of a national audience.

Now Noelle has to keep up a convincing act for the cameras while sorting out feelings that may be far from fake. The race is competitive, the romance is staged, and the history between the two girls is anything but settled. She'll have to find out whether she can balance the show with what's real, or whether she'll go home with no money and a broken heart.

Erin Baldwin's young adult romance is a fake-dating story with a competitive twist, set against the high-stakes fun of a reality TV race.
