"In high school, Greta Steinburg and her two BFFs made a pact: none of them would get married unless they all approved the man in question. Since then, Greta has had her fair share of romantic ups and downs--but now, after her latest failed relationship, she is done. Greta announces that her days of dating are officially over, and she's kissed the idea of happily-ever-after goodbye. . . Of course her friends will hear none of it. Instead, they insist that Greta go out with Jon, the hottest new DJ who just happened to be at her sister's wedding. To get her friends off her back, Greta proposes that they pretend to date. The only problem is, for every fake date they have--from feeding angry rhinos to crashing a kiddie roller-skating party--Jon wants a real one. Each time they get together, their attraction grows. . .and soon there's no turning back. Could it be that true love requires a leap of faith--and that Jon is the one Greta's been waiting for all along?"--Page [4] of cover.

That Thing You Do is a story of three friends who make a pact in high school that states that none of the girls will marry unless each one agrees with the match. Greta is always the bridesmaid - and that's fine with her. She has no desire to date after a bad relationship left her reeling. Her friends aren't having that, though, and after yet another wedding, she finds herself being set up with the DJ. Deciding to save herself the trouble of an inevitable breakup, Greta orchestrates a series of fake dates designed to trick her friends into thinking she's putting herself out there. But Jon has plans of his own, and she never counted on the sparks that fly between them. Can a girl who doesn't believe in love find it in the least likely place of all?
