Everything like in a bad movie? Or worse, like in a romance novel

Becoming Phil’s fake girlfriend is really the last thing Ruby wants. Because she’s sick and tired of worn-out clichés. But before she knows it, she and Phil are in the middle of a love story fit for a film. And only Ruby can decide whether there will be a “happily ever after”.

Her new romance novel once again distinguishes Lena Hach as one of the best young adult writers. It sparkles with wit, irony, humour, lightness, depth with a lot of heart and emotion. And on top of that, it plays with over 20 popular tropes of this romance genre. A masterpiece that has you simply sit back, relax and enjoy.

HOW RUBY EXPLAINS THE WORLD OF LOVE
Tropes
Recurring patterns, motifs or themes that recur in stories, films or series.
They have a high recognition value – that is both a blessing and a curse at the same time.

Fake Dating
Two figures pretend to be a couple – and surprise! – in the meantime
actually fall in love with each other.
Naturally they would rather chop off all their limbs, than to confess exactly that.
