Faking The Grade at Glenbriar High is the latest novel from author Margaret Amatt. It is book 17 in the Glenbriar series.

Fake dating isn’t on the curriculum… but neither is falling in love

He’s tall, dark and handsome… And he’s just announced his engagement to someone else.

Guidance teacher Clara Morgan thought her year couldn’t get any worse, but it just did. No matter how hard she tries to keep her chin up, it’s hard not to feel down.


Kind and intuitive English teacher and single dad Sam Addison realises something’s up with Clara; he puts two and two together and works out her secret.

Shocked that someone has discovered her unrequited love for one of her colleagues, Clara leans on Sam for support. When he’s invited to a wedding, Clara offers to go with him – as a friend. But she starts to see him in a whole new light when she introduces him to the concept of fake dating.


Sam gave up on love long ago and has a whole cupboard full of baggage, but Clara is just so loveable. If only he wasn’t stuck in a complicated home setup, and she wasn’t in love with someone else.


Sorting out their feelings will need some serious attention if their relationship is going to make the grade and give them the happy ending they deserve.

Faking the Grade at Glenbriar High is a great read if you’re a fan of slow-burning relationships. Margaret does a really nice job of slowly building Clara and Sam’s relationship, making it feel believable. The characters, each with their own baggage and things going on, are easy to connect with.

I really enjoyed the school setting, and as ever with the Glenbriar series, you finish reading thinking it’s a place you could easily live.

A lovely, enjoyable read that delivers whether it’s your first time reading a book in the series ot if you’re an avid fan.
