Some girlfriends share everything. Why not a boyfriend?

Rachel and Chloe have been best friends since childhood. When the senior class’s dream guy suddenly becomes a free man, it’s open season on Hunter Mills. Both wanting to take their shot, Rachel and Chloe concoct a win-win plan—sharing a boyfriend.

No jealousy. No strings attached. Just two best friends trading off days with the same guy.

Getting Mr. Good Guy to agree is the first step, but once they overcome that hurdle, they can make their unconventional relationship work.

At least, that was the plan.

Tropes present

Awkward dating arrangement Two friends intend to alternate days on which they’re dating the boy. It’s a planned Love Triangle without people getting angry. It’s the spring of their last year of high school, so you don’t need things to last long-term, right? Of course the readers know this is going to fail, but it does become the vehicle for some Major Character Development, which can then drive the rest of the book.

Reckless friend Chloe. She’s the risk-taker of this bunch, feeling unhinged since the death of her astronaut father.

Eldest sibling of the prodigal child Rachel. She’s the shy good girl, and it’s good being a good girl, but it can blind her to Chloe’s inner turmoil.

Dark and troubled past Well, sort of. Rachel keeps referring to The Incident, some long-ago trauma that she doesn’t want to talk about. It turns out she was on a school field trip and caught with her sketchbook at an art museum, sketching copies of the paintings on the walls, some of which included (gasp!) boy-parts and this resulted in discipline from the school. Her willingness to share this with her current boyfriend shows progress in their relationship development.

Love Triangle Intentionally contrived, but it’s here to make the characters work on the confidence issues that made them think up the idea in the first place.
