Leah Cole only meant to imply she was seeing someone.
Unfortunately, her family heard "girlfriend." Then they gave that girlfriend a name, a welcome bag, a seat at the wedding, and apparently a drink preference.
Now Leah is days away from her cousin's picture-perfect lake-house wedding, and her imaginary girlfriend has become a full logistical problem. Enter Willow Walsh: real photographer, real queer woman, real owner of excellent boots, and-thanks to one very chaotic mutual friend-the only person willing to pretend to be Leah's perfect wedding date.
The plan is simple. Survive the weekend. Hold hands when necessary. Answer nosy family questions. Share only the approved fake couple lore. Do not catch feelings.
But Willow is dangerously good at playing along. She charms Leah's family, fits too easily into Leah's messy life, and sees straight through every joke Leah uses to prove she's fine. And the more the performance starts to feel real, the harder it becomes for Leah to tell whether she's protecting the lie... or protecting herself from wanting Willow for real.
Funny, tender, and full of family wedding chaos, The Wedding Date Mistake is a sapphic fake-dating romantic comedy about messy adulthood, chosen honesty, and the terrifying joy of being loved before you have your life together.
