Plot
Hester High School is a place where being different is what makes you popular. When outcast sophomore students Karma Ashcroft (Katie Stevens) and her best friend Amy Raudenfeld (Rita Volk) are mistaken for a lesbian couple, they find themselves the center of the school's attention, so they decide to go along with the charade.
They are invited to a party hosted by popular gay student Shane Harvey (Michael Willett). With the intention of impressing Shane's best friend, Liam Booker (Gregg Sulkin), Karma attends the party with Amy, who is not entirely sure she wants to continue with the lie. When they are unexpectedly nominated as homecoming queens, they are forced to kiss in front of the entire school in order to maintain their new popular status, but Amy is slowly discovering that she might not actually be faking it.

=Faking It received generally favorable reviews from critics, receiving a 71 score on Metacritic, based on eight reviews as well as a 71% for season 1 on Rotten Tomatoes based on seven reviews.
New York Times said the following: "Faking It isn't anything more than a smarter-than-average high school comedy, but there's a freshness to it, perhaps because so many of the key people involved are relative newcomers."
New York Daily News said, "The engine driving this show is female friendship, the kind strong enough to get you through even high school. For Amy and Karma, we want that." And Entertainment Weekly stated, "Credit the winning cast, especially Volk, and executive producer Carter Covington's sweet/snarky tone for a half hour viewers won't have to pretend to love."
