Practice Perfect

When your heart is in the right place, but your aim's a little off.

YA LGBT+ RomanceFake DatingSlow BurnSelf-Discovery

A fake-dating scheme was supposed to be simple: low stakes, no feelings, an easy out whenever they needed one. Nobody accounted for how good it would feel to be chosen, even pretend-chosen — or how hard it is to fake affection you're starting to actually mean. A slow-burn about vulnerability, awkward hearts, and learning you're allowed to want to be loved for real.
