The Upside of Falling by Alex Light.

The Upside of Falling  This book is exactly what it looks like.  A cute, feel-good story that is slightly more complicated than it appears. 

Becca is a girl who doesn't believe in love.  She watched her family be torn apart by infidelity and now she thinks that all loves are a tragedy.   She spends her life in books.  Until one day, Brett walks into her life and bam - next thing she knows they are in a fake relationship?

Brett lives his life to please his father.  Impressive football accomplishments - check.  College prospects - check.  Big plans for the future - check.  Girlfriend?   Not so much.  So Brett decides that Becca is the perfect candidate to check girlfriend off his list without too much strain and effort.

You can imagine how the story goes, but along the way, there are some great lessons about friendship, family and real love.  I read it in a sitting.  It was the distraction I needed.  Like Becca.
