⁀➷ IN WHICH. . . ♡ 'ˎ˗

a very, very stupid mistake results
in viola harlow being forced to
fake date her annoyingly charming
next-door neighbor, matt sturniolo.

the agreement is mutually beneficial:
viola wants to prove that she's over her
ex-boyfriend, meanwhile matt is desperate
to get his overbearing parents off his back.

though as the whole town gets
involved, viola and matt can't
seem to keep their relationship
under wraps — or under control.
as the lies stack up and the town's
expectations continue to grow,
the line between pretend and
real seems to blur.

with someone, there was a kissing booth
at the carnival, nebraska.❞

woke up this morning & decided to publish this causeee why not ☺️☺️☺️ fake dating is one my fav tropes EVERRR (only a tiny bit below enemies to lovers) and guys you don't understand this story is literally my BABY. i love it so much.

ALSOOO if u couldnt alr tell edward & georgina are the triplets parents in this fic. this is an alternate universe where the triplets have sort of shitty parents, and i didn't want to write marylou & jimmy like that, so i gave them fictional parents. hopefully this isn't too confusing 😇

shoutout to whore4applejuice , my girl since day 1 💋💋💋 i love you twin!
