My Plus One

Maya Sinclair is the “perfect daughter” with the perfect career, perfect smile, and perfect lies. The only question she can’t answer: “When are you bringing someone home?”

With her sister Cynthia’s wedding weeks away and her family circling, Maya does something desperate. She asks her best friend, Lani Keller, to be her fake girlfriend.

Lani is the worst possible choice. She’s warm where Maya is cold. Brave where Maya is guarded. And she just got her heart broken by someone who couldn’t choose her. She’s also been in love with Maya for years.

The rules are simple: Hold hands. Pretend. Go home.
But fake kisses start feeling real. Late-night talks stop being practice. And when the wedding ends, neither of them says “it’s done.”

Because losing a fake girlfriend shouldn’t feel like losing the love of your life.
