When Ally needs an excuse to escape the singles cruise her parents just "gifted" her, she explains she's already dating her friend Caleb. It just so happens that Caleb needs Ally to get his family to stop pestering him as well. The only problem? They've never met each other in real life, but just started chatting online via a game they both played. Meeting for the first time and convincing their families that they're in a relationship is exciting enough, but when they finally see each other in person, the sparks start flying for real. VERDICT A fun take on the friends-to-lovers trope from Darkins (Rules of Their Parisian Fling). Ally and Caleb will have everyone falling in love with their story.--Amanda Toth
