About this book

When Kennedy brings her best friend Sienna home for her brother's wedding as a fake date, she thinks she has the perfect solution to dodge awkward questions about her love life—but she's severely underestimated how complicated things get when the line between pretend and real starts to blur. Sienna has been quietly in love with Kennedy for ages, and this summer might be her only shot at making her best friend see her as something more than just a friend. What starts as a simple charade becomes increasingly difficult to maintain when every touch feels electric and every moment together makes it harder to remember what's fake and what's genuine. Perfect for readers who love a good best-friends-to-lovers journey with plenty of heart and tension!

A blend of indie pop and contemporary R&B that captures the tension of blurred lines and unspoken feelings. Think wistful acoustic moments melting into sensual grooves, bittersweet melodies, and that electric pull of proximity and longing. Soft yet sultry—perfect for summer nights where everything changes.
