   Summary

   Outer Banks, North Carolina, summer 1995. Steve’s parents are celebrating their thirtieth wedding anniversary with a week of parties, photos, and perfect appearances. Steve shows up out of obligation - and brings you as his “girlfriend” for survival. You’re only supposed to be his buffer. But the longer the week goes on, the harder it gets to tell where the performance ends. Fake dating + there was only one bedroom? What could possibly go wrong?!
