Carina’s fifth wheel status is making things awkward, so she’s agreed to let her two best friends set her up on a series of blind dates—each one worse than the one before…
This laugh-out-loud YA contemporary rom-com comes laced with a dose of high school friendship drama perfect for fans of authors like Emma Lord and shows like Never Have I Ever.
Carina doesn’t mind being single—even though her best friends are totally coupled up. She adores Emi’s partner Daphne, who always makes her feel included and not like a third wheel. Kalani’s another story altogether—especially when she decides to take matters into her own hands. It’s time for Carina to put herself out there and Kalini’s arranged a series of blind dates for her . . . but Carina’s not at all sure she wants to go.
See, being single isn’t the problem. The fact that she’s in love with Kalani’s boyfriend Emmett is—and no amount of blind date distractions can solve that problem. But, with prom on the horizon, the idea of being a fifth, seventh, or eleventh wheel, weighs heavily on Carina’s mind. So, she agrees.
And it’s a complete disaster. And every date is worse than the one before. Slowly, Carina grows suspicious of Kalani’s true motives. Is she really trying to help her? Or is she deliberately sabotaging Carina? And why is Jay always willing to step up and bail Carina out when things go wrong?
Eventually, Carina will have to decide if her friendship with Kalani is worth saving, whatever the cost, or if she needs to follow her heart and carve her own path.
