Reality TV star Rex isn't a bad guy. He's gorgeous, for one. And his parents fund the theater Jordan manages. Rex just isn't very bright. And he's definitely straight. Until Rex's public image needs a re-brand. A gay re-brand. Rex wants to pretend to be gay, and he wants Jordan to be his pretend boyfriend. It should land Rex some more TV roles. Gay is the new straight, isn't it? But holding Jordan's hand, exchanging small kisses, even if it's just for the cameras, is feeling just a bit too comfortable. Rex can't stop dreaming of wrapping his arms around Jordan forever. His totally straight arms. Pretend Like You Mean It is a feel-good gay romantic comedy with a fake boyfriend, gay discovery, and a guaranteed HEA. It's full of stage kisses, shocked relatives, West Side Story, and delicious spatchcock.
