What happens when a happy-go-lucky guy’s luck takes a leap off a pier?
Answer: Six jillion weddings the same month I get dumped.
At least I’m not alone.
My best pal got the boot from her boyfriend, which is nuts.
Erika’s funny and hot in that I-can-fix-your-transmission way.
She’s too good for that guy.
Way too good for pity parties from my meddling twin.
Protecting us both means telling a little white lie.
A fake relationship gives us dates for gobs of giddy, small-town weddings.
Someone to laugh with over botched bouquets and risqué buffet spreads.
Someone who knows me better than anyone, which…okay, awkward.
I’ve got baggage, you know?
But fake dating Erika feels more fun than drag karaoke at my brewpub.
We’re just friends—nothing sexy between us.
Well, maybe once, but it’s part of the act, right?
I’m suddenly not sure what’s real anymore.
Because now that I know how perfect she feels in my arms,
our whole plan starts to unravel.
Then our exes throw us a curveball.
Before we know it, our make-believe love
careens on a collision course to genuine heartache.
One click this fake dating, friends-to-lovers romantic comedy with two small-town best friends falling head over heels for real.
