FROM THE BOOK JACKET: Pinky Kumar wears the social justice warrior badge with pride. From raccoon hospitals to persecuted rock stars, no cause is too esoteric for her to champion. But a teeny tiny part of her also really enjoys making her conservative, buttoned-up corporate lawyer parents cringe.

Get her sorta-friend-sorta-enemy—who is a total Harvard-bound Mamas boy—to pose as her perfect boyfriend for the summer.
When Samirs internship falls through, leaving him with an unplanned summer, he gets a text from Pinky asking if hell be her fake boyfriend in exchange for a new internship. He jumps at the opportunity; Pinkys a weirdo, but he can survive a summer with her if theres light at the end of the tunnel.
