Relationship OCD makes it tough for her to date without doubts, so Libi prefers to flit between hook-ups instead, knowing that she can’t sabotage a relationship if it’s not serious.

Thank goodness for her OCD support group.Nate Keller has harbored a crush on Libi since he joined the group.

Not only is her recently widowed father bringing his new girlfriend, but Libi’s college ex—the one she never quite got over—also shows up...on the arm of her least-favorite cousin. Luckily Nate tags along for emotional support so Libi doesn’t have to face this nightmare vacation alone.What begins as an innocent promise of friends helping each other quickly turns into a fake-dating scheme—and Nate’s playing the boyfriend role too well.
