Laniah and Issac have been friends since childhood. They’re kind of like family but at the same time, there’s an indisputable pull between them that tempted them once when they were teenagers.
Now, as adults, Issac is a famous influencer and brand spokesperson who has gained notoriety for both his art and his videos about relationships. Laniah is still in their hometown of Providence, running a natural hair products store with her mother. As much as Issac is a presence online, Laniah couldn’t be more private.
When Issac returns to the East Coast for the first time in a long while, he is surprised to learn that Laniah’s business is failing. He offers to bail her and her mother out financially, but she categorically refuses to take his money. So he mentions on his social media that they’re dating, and that’s all it takes.
The minute Issac mentions Laniah, business explodes. She reluctantly agrees to a fake relationship for the summer, so she can get her feet back under her financially and perhaps find an eager investor. But when the lines between friendship and love get blurred, how can you separate real from fake?
This book has been on my stack for a while but I’m so glad I read it. It’s beautifully written, emotionally evocative, and it has such well-drawn characters I couldn’t stop rooting for. This kind of relationship always melts my heart.
