Carina's fifth wheel status is making things awkward, so she agrees to let her two best friends set her up on a series of blind dates-each 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 has zero issues with being single-even though her best friends, Emi and Kalani, are coupled up.
She's got more than enough to keep her busy between schoolwork, her part-time job at her family's bakery, and her art. Besides, Carina adores Emi's partner, Daphne, they always make her feel included and not like a third wheel. Kalani's another story-being around her and her boyfriend is complicated. That's why Kalani takes matters into her own hands and arranges a series of blind dates for Carina.  There's just one hitch: Carina doesn't want to go.
Being single isn't the problem. The fact that she's in love with Kalani's boyfriend, Emmett, is and no amount of distraction can fix that. 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. Except for one, pink-short-wearing Jay, who pushes Carina in ways she never expected.
Soon she finds herself in a complicated battle between friendship and romance, and she must decide which form of love matters most to her-and which one will surprise her.
