A sweetly sexy, gloriously relatable sapphic romcom about a fake relationship, real emotions and writing your own love story! Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Alexis Hall.
What if her Hollywood happy ending is right in front of her?
For bisexual Clementine, dating girls has never really been on the cards. She was loved up with her boyfriend, until she wasn’t. But a chance encounter with the chaotic Chloe Lee makes her wonder if new experiences could be closer than she thought.
However, Chloe isn’t actually interested in Clementine, or at least not for a real relationship. Her friends have recently announced their engagement and she’s now the last single woman. So Chloe proposes a deal: Clem acts as her girlfriend until the wedding is over, and Chloe will help her through her baby gay era so she can start dating for real.
As Chloe and Clem embark on a fake relationship to fool everyone around them, is it possible that they might just be fooling themselves instead…
