"When her perfect relationship is revealed to have been fake, an aspiring photographer must make amends. Imogen "Mo" Finch blames her single status on her ability to read people's auras--rose gold for love, teal for heartbreak; no one wants to be with someone who knows their feelings without being told. Mo's mom also has this ability and, ironically given her daughter's nonexistent love life, works as a professional matchmaker. For the last year, Mo has been pretending on Instagram that August Tate, a boy she met once who lives on the other side of North Carolina, is her boyfriend. After Ren Kano, her real-life crush, and his girlfriend break up, Mo stages a breakup with August so she'll be available if it turns out that Ren is interested in her. But when the real August shows up at the bakery where she works with best friend Gemma and asks why they're not still together, her elaborate web of lies threatens to unravel. Then, as Mo gets to know August as an actual human being, she starts to fall for him for real. At the same time, Mo is struggling with her application to a prestigious art program. Many readers will relate to Mo's difficulties bringing her artistic visions to life and will root for the characters to find their happy endings. Ren is Japanese American; other characters default to White. Fans of sweet romances with a light magical touch will enjoy this story of personal growth."--Provided by publisher.
