Every time she thinks she's found someone to trust, they reveal themselves to be awful, leaving her heartbroken. And angry. Until she realizes that what men are looking for is Gretel. Gretel is perfect, beautiful but low maintenance, sweet but never clingy, sexy but not a slut. She's a Regular Everyday Manic Pixie Dream Girl Next Door With No Problems. When April starts pretending to be Gretel, dating becomes much more fun, especially once she reels in the unsuspecting Joshua. Finally, April is the one in control, but can she control her feelings? And as she and Joshua grow closer, how long will she be able to keep pretending?"--Publisher ER -
