Goodreads Synopsis: Someone should’ve told me pretending to date your best friend only works if you aren’t in love with them. Kennedy Davis is not in love with her best friend. That’s what she tells every girl she dates anyway, but it always ends up the same. Sienna Stevens is in love with her best friend, but she’s too afraid to admit it. A hopeless romantic who hopes her best friend might one day see her as more. When Kennedy must return home for her brother’s wedding it only makes sense to bring her best friend along. But Kennedys fears of returning home give Sienna a chance for Kennedy to see her as more—by being her fake girlfriend. So when the line between friends and more gets blurred with Sienna, will Kennedy finally see what everyone’s been telling her all along and confess her true feelings? Or will she hide how she feels to keep their friendship? After all, a fake relationship only for the summer, can’t hurt right? (FF Fake Dating Romance set as part of the Summers in Seaside series. ALSO apart of Shannon O'Connor's 'Only in Seaside' Series book #1) Only For the Summer by Shannon O'Connor | Goodreads Thank you to Shannon O'Connor for providing me with a copy of Only for the Summer for me to read and review. This is the first full book in the Only in Seaside series, following the prequel Only the Beginning. This friends-to-lovers, fake dating romance is focused on a lesbian relationship, and the author did an excellent job portraying their relationship in a very authentic and respectful way. I was drawn in from the very first page with the main character having a truly relatable shitty day. I immediately felt an empathy for the character and wanted to see things get better for her. The character development was gradual and timed very well with the storyline as the character's relationship grew. In the previous prequel, there had been an unresolved storyline with an antagonist that had left me wondering, and I was happy to see more details about that character in this book. I suspect that there is still more to that situation, and it hasn't fully reached it's boiling point yet, but I was pleased with the new developments included in this story and they have piqued my curiosity even more! I can't wait to see where the story is going to go next! 5 Stars!
