The Perfect Man

Holly Hamilton is a teenager who has moved around frequently due to her mother's career and romantic troubles.

However, her plan gets complicated when her mother becomes engaged to a new man, Jean-Luc, and Holly's peers believe her fabricated boyfriend is real, leading to unexpected romantic entanglements and a journey of self-discovery.
