Our parents might be best friends, but I can’t stand being in the same room as him. And now I’m his wife. For a school assignment, of course. I know, that sounds like a match made in…not heaven. How on Earth am I going to survive the next few weeks? But the more time we spend together, the more I realize he’s not as bad as I thought. He’s sweet and kind, and maybe I even… Like him. Noah: One word to describe Evie Hastings? Chaos. She’s a walking disaster. No, even a disaster would be more organized than her. We’ve known each other all our lives, but that doesn’t mean we get along. And now I’m forced to be her husband for a school assignment. This is not how I imagined married life would be. But when my band gets negative feedback after a few terrible performances, Evie steps in to help. Not only does she save my band, but she saves me. It turns out she’s not as awful as I thought she was. Actually, she’s pretty amazing.
