Summary from Goodreads:
“Edgy and honest, Faking Perfect is the real thing.” –Huntley Fitzpatrick
When Lexi Shaw seduced Oakfield High's resident bad boy Tyler Flynn at the beginning of senior year, he seemed perfectly okay with her rules:
1. Avoid her at school.
2. Keep his mouth shut about what they do together.
3. Never tease her about her friend (and unrequited crush) Ben.
Because with his integrity and values and golden boy looks, Ben can never find out about what she’s been doing behind closed doors with Tyler. Or that her mom’s too busy drinking and chasing losers to pay the bills. Or that Lexi’s dad hasn’t been a part of her life for the last thirteen years. But with Tyler suddenly breaking the rules, Ben asking her out, and her dad back in the picture, how long will she be able to go on faking perfect?

My Review:
I liked Lexi. She is a good girl who doesn't feel good about herself. Since she doesn't feel great about herself she engages in self-destructive behavior. However, because she wants to hide her pain she seeks to not only be normal but to popular she becomes friends with the cool kids. Too bad for her that her crush, that she thinks is so perfect, is actually the real jerk. She has classic daddy issues. You know, if I wasn't good enough for my own dad how can I be good enough for anyone else. Fortunately for her that wall fell and she learned the lesson young. What lesson is that, you ask? You can only fake who you are for so long before the facade crack and you're real starts showing.

Rebecca lives just outside the beautiful city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, with her husband, two children, and one spoiled rotten cat. She absolutely loves living so close to the ocean. When she’s not tapping away on her laptop, she can be found vacuuming up cat hair, spending time with her family, watching reality TV, reading all different genres of books, or strolling around the bookstore with a vanilla latte in her hand.
Rebecca is represented by Carly Watters of P.S. Literary Agency.
