Description
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…
Tropes:
- Fake Dating
- Forced Proximity
- Found Family

Thank you to Harper Collins for a copy of this ARC. I absolutely adored this book, I fell in love with Chloe and Clementine and the found family of it all.
The book was so warm and loving and I really enjoyed the exploration of dealing with coming out and exploring another side of yourself later in life.
The romance was adorable and I enjoyed that everything took a while to build up, it felt closer to reality.
