Good Luck, Babe!

By Erin Baldwin

In Erin Baldwin's new YA romance novel, fake dating isn't just complicated--it's competitive.

"Good Luck, Babe is nothing short of iconic . . . this book is fun and honest and relatable in the best way." --Rachael Lippincott, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl

Reality TV enthusiasts Noelle and Yumi spent ten years attached at the hip--until the summer after junior year. One ill-fated night (and one awkward kiss) ended their friendship, and after a year of no contact, fate throws the girls back together when they're offered a last-minute spot on their favorite show--an Amazing Race analog called The Adventureverse.

It's a chance to put their superfan status to the test, a dream come true. Except for a few snags: It's an all-couples season, filming starts in two days, and Noelle hasn't spoken to her "girlfriend" in a year. But Noelle already has plans to use the prize money on her ailing father's medical expenses. She would do anything for him--including fake date her ex-bestie on national television.

Can Noelle walk a tightrope between reality and TV while juggling a pretend relationship and true feelings? Or will she get sent home empty-handed and brokenhearted?
