Overview

Elizabeth lies to her ex-wife's face: Yes, I'm seeing someone. She's wonderful.

It's the wine talking. And the humiliation of being the one who's still alone while her ex plans wedding number two, moving on like their marriage was just a practice run.

Now she has two weeks to produce a girlfriend who doesn't exist.

Kelsey makes Elizabeth's morning coffee. She's also been pathetically in love with her since pretty much the first time she saw her. Elizabeth is 48, brilliant, untouchable, and wouldn't look twice at a 31-year-old barista. But when Kelsey overhears Elizabeth's desperate phone call—something about a lie, an ex-wife's wedding, and needing a girlfriend now—she does the most unhinged thing she's ever done: she volunteers.

Two weeks to fake it. One wedding to survive. Then they both go back to normal: Elizabeth to her 60-hour work weeks and Kelsey to making her coffee and pretending none of it was real.

Except the slow dance feels too real. The hotel room has only one bed. And when they wake up tangled together the morning after, neither of them can pretend anymore. The wedding's over, the deal's done—but walking away might be the hardest lie either of them has ever told.
