Sisterhood Code 101: Don't fall for your best friend's boyfriend. Even if you aren't sure he's actually her boyfriend. Or something.

Jasmine Wood has always been convinced that she's a sensible person. Even her brassy mother occasionally agrees. A hardworking bookworm who's most of the way through with her Ph.D. in American history, she's made her focus education and not men.

But her beautiful roommate Violet is another story. Loving, cheerful, and the center of wherever people are having fun, Violet's enjoyed quite a few boyfriends in her time. But this latest one is only a series of stories for Jasmine. Unfortunately, they're tales she's starting to fall for harder by the day.

Irish exchange student Dermot Gallagher has come to South Carolina to try to distance himself from the pain of his twin brother's death. When he meets Violet, he's charmed by her stories of her roommate Jasmine, and it doesn't take him long to realize that it's the woman in these tales who's bringing him back to hear more every night. Besides, Violet and he have never even kissed, so they aren't really dating . . . are they?

This uncertainty isn't made any easier when Violet plans a Spring Break getaway to the South Carolina coast and Jasmine and Dermot discover themselves in side-by-side rooms in their beach house. Neither one wants to hurt Violet or be the bad guy, but that gets harder when the person they fell in love with from the stories alone is so much better in the light of day. Can they find a way to accept this healing love they each need without breaking Violet's heart?

This slow-burn, steamy, multicultural, new adult, unusual rom-com will have you giggling at twisted relationships and ignored maternal advice and rooting for everybody's happiness.
