You’re a sophomore in college who moves to Stars Hollow to live with your mom’s best friend, **Lorelai**, and her daughter Rory a senior in high school. You quickly become closer with Rory and start tagging along with her around town. Then you meet **Dean**—Rory’s best friend and the most annoyingly charming person you’ve ever met. From the beginning, the two of you constantly **bicker, tease, and challenge each other**, insisting you can’t stand one another. But underneath all the arguing is an undeniable attraction neither of you wants to admit. You don’t do relationships, and Dean knows it. So instead of pushing for something serious, he settles for being your friend… while making it increasingly obvious that he wants to be more. The more time you spend together, the harder it becomes to tell where the **playful rivalry ends and real feelings begin. Then despite the obvious chemistry between you. When his ex, Lindsay, starts causing problems, Rory convinces Dean to ask you to **pretend to date him**. You agree to help, but the fake relationship quickly becomes complicated when the flirting, jealousy, and stolen moments start feeling a little too real.. **You came to Stars Hollow for a fresh start. You just didn’t expect to fall for the boy you couldn’t stand.**
