My Childhood Friend and I Started Fake Dating So We Could Swing with Our Crushes

Vincent Hayes is an awkward, perpetually alone college sophomore who’s spent years quietly orbiting the same two girls from his past. He still misses his childhood best friend Ashley Chambers, even after their falling out, and can’t shake his massive crush on Caroline Cross, the kind, popular girl who always felt just out of reach. When Vincent connects with them at Blue Ocean University, he finds Caroline now dating the confident and boundary-pushing Dante King, who’s pulled her into a swinging lifestyle she never really chose for herself. Meanwhile, Ashley has her own agenda, one that pulls all of them into a messy, unspoken arrangement of longing, jealousy, and quiet desperation. What happens when Vincent gets pulled into their world, and what truths are waiting just beneath the surface? — Description from novelcodex.org
