Heaven Is Paved with Oreos — Catherine Gilbert Murdock

Sarah Zorn and her best friend, Curtis, have a great solution to the constant teasing that they're going out: they simply pretend that they are, employing what Sarah terms a "Brilliant Outflanking Strategy." But fake dating is a lot more difficult than Sarah thought, once it starts creating real feelings -- feelings too complicated for even A-student Sarah to explain. When her zany grandmother invites her on a Roman holiday, Sarah jumps at the chance to discover Italy and escape the awkward situation with Curtis.

The trip of a lifetime holds plenty of surprises, however, as Sarah uncovers longtime secrets and discovers the many meanings of love.
