Katie is an ambitious, driven teenager who loves everything about her father's presidential campaign and has even picked out china patterns for the White House. Although Drew's mother is running for president, he still rides the bus to high school and wants nothing to do with interviews and public appearances. After meeting at a disastrous talk-show interview, Katie and Drew are drawn to each other tie to Drew's sense of freedom, and Drew to Katie's passion. When the press finds out about Drew's father's extramarital affair, the blossoming relationship is cut short, until their parents agree that the teens should date in hopes of boosting poll numbers. Now, Katie and Drew have to fake a relationship in front of the entire country. Can they hold out until Election Day? Though Katie's naïveté may be jarring and the conflict comes a bit too late in the book, overall, teens looking for an easy, modern romance will find this fun, lighthearted teen love story charming.

After all, her father is the Republican nominee for President of the United States while his mother is at the top of the Democratic ticket. But when Katie and Drew are thrown together in a joint interview on a morning talk show, they can't ignore the chemistry between them. With an entire nation tuned into and taking sides in your parents' fight, and the knowledge that--ultimately--someone has to lose, how can you fall in love with the one person you're supposed to hate? This title in the If Only line is a frank and funny romance that shows how sparks fly when opposites attract.
