Not Here to Stay Friends

Two childhood best friends reunite in L.A. the summer before senior year--but when one of them ends up starring on a teen reality dating show, their feelings for each other get complicated. Perfect for fans of friends-to-lovers rom-coms and The Bachelor!

Sloane McKinney feels like a background character in her own life. But this summer will be different, because she's spending it with her childhood best friend, Liam Daniels, in her dream city, Los Angeles. Sure, she's surprised to find that Liam just happens to have had a Hot Guy glow-up since she last saw him, but so what? A little attraction won't ruin her plans for their fun--and completely platonic--reunion.

What might, however, is that Liam has been roped into working for his producer dad's new teen reality dating show, Aspen Woods's Future Leading Lady. It turns out the show is one contestant short . . . and Sloane is the perfect last-minute addition.

But it's behind the scenes where the drama really picks up. Because wanting to kiss your best friend? That's a plot twist neither Sloane nor Liam ever saw coming.
