This is a really cute book that centres on a group of 5 friends (4 guys and 1 woman).

Millie keeps everything in and does not talk a lot about herself, communication is a struggle for her. One night Reid and Millie hook up and they treat it as a one time thing (even though it happens 2 more times). Mille and Reid have terrible communication and spend most of the book dodging their true feelings for each other. There is a big event coming up where Obama is the key note speaker and the 5 of them decide that they should all have dates. They set up online dating profiles, but secretly Millie sets up two. On her secret profile she ends up matching with Reid and starts an online relationship with him as "Catherine" (yes, she catfishes him). Eventually Reid figures it out and it blows up in her face. This book does end in a HEA. I was really frustrated with all of the miscommunication between Reid and Millie when they knew how they felt about each other. Millie's is pretty immature/closed off through most of the book, but I do appreciate that some growth is shown.

This was very sweet and lovely—good old identity shenanigans, and a beloved friend group found family situation. Plus, the main character was born in Bellingham!!
