Summary from Goodreads:
Adorkable (ah-dor-kuh-bul): Descriptive term meaning to be equal parts dorky and adorable. For reference, see Sally Spitz.
Seventeen-year-old Sally Spitz is done with dating. Or at least, she's done with the horrible blind dates/hookups/sneak attacks her matchmaking bestie, Hooker, sets her up on. There's only so much one geek girl and Gryffindor supporter can take.
Her solution: she needs a fake boyfriend. And fast.
Enter Becks, soccer phenom, all-around-hottie, and Sally's best friend practically since birth. When Sally asks Becks to be her F.B.F. (fake boyfriend), Becks is only too happy to be used. He'd do anything for Sal--even if that means giving her PDA lessons in his bedroom, saying she's "more than pretty," and expertly kissing her at parties.
The problem: Sally's been in love with Becks all her life--and he's completely clueless.
This book features two best friends, one special edition Yoda snuggie, countless beneath-the-ear kisses and begs the question:
Who wants a real boyfriend when faking it is so much more fun?
EXCERPT:
"You're not seriously going to listen
to them," I said flatly.
"What else can I do?"
"Becks, beware the dark side."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It's a Yoda-ism," I said,
"and you know exactly what it means.
Becks, have you no shame?"
"Nope," he said, lifting the
jersey over his head in one swift pull, causing a mixture of applause,
screaming and appreciative sighs.
I shook my head, struggling to keep my
eyes north of his jaw line.
"What can I say, Sal?" he said,
backing away. "It's like that line
from that show Oklahoma. I'm just a guy who can't say no." Flicking his jersey at one of the
cheerleaders, he hot footed it out to center field, grinning all the while. He gave a frowning Coach Crenshaw a swat to
the backside, and then the team got down to business.
I wrote down Becks's quote, making a side
note to include it in my next article, while the girl who'd caught Becks's
jersey gripped the shirt to her heart and pretended to faint.
At least, I hoped it was pretend.
