Book ID/图书代码: 12844006B03593
English Summary/英文概要: In many ways, Adam is the perfect boyfriend. He never wants to watch the football. He never gets drunk. And he always prefers a quiet night in to going out with his mates. The only problem is, Adam doesn’t actually exist. Faith Wishart made him up. In fact, Faith makes almost everything up in order to please her mum. She pretends she works for a top PR company, when really she works in a shop - as a make-up girl for Keats cosmetics. But her mum is itching to meet the mysterious Adam, and when her younger sister, Hope, returns unexpectedly from Australia with her fiance, it’s not wedding bells that are ringing for Faith. It’s alarm bells. She now has less than two months to solve her boyfriend’s non-existence problem in time for the wedding and desperate times call for desperate measures...
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 費絲的男友亞當非常完美:他不迷足球,寧願和她在家共度舒服的夜晚;他從不會喝醉酒、也不會出去和哥兒們鬼混,還是個俊俏律師。唯一的問題是,亞當這個人根本就不存在,他是費絲捏造出來的。
其實費絲捏造這些事情,都是爲了取悅他的媽媽,以免她媽媽一天到晚叫她安定下來。她藉由謊言來讓日子好過些,假裝自己在頂尖的公關公司上班,但其實她是一間百貨公司兼職的化妝品專櫃小姐。

她現在只剩不到兩個月的時間,來解決男友並不存在的問題,以如期出席她妹的婚禮。她憑空捏造了想像中的完美生活,現在卻必須將它們變成事實。在實踐無情的壓迫下,緊張的她只好孤注一擲... ...
