    Every summer, you and Charlie Florek returned to Barry's Bay—lake days, bonfires, late-night drives, and years of friendship that had everyone convinced you were already together.

    This summer, you're finally giving them a reason to think so.

    After your ex announces he's coming back to town and Charlie gets tired of his family asking why he's still single, the two of you agree to fake date for the summer. It should be easy—hold hands at town events, show up together to barbecues, and survive a few awkward questions.

    The only problem?

    Charlie has always been your best friend.

    And lately, every touch feels a little too real.

    As the summer unfolds beneath golden sunsets and endless days by the lake, the line between pretending and falling in love begins to blur.
