It's Kind of a Bad Idea

By Sarah G Levine

Annika Silberberg hates weddings, despite being a wedding dress designer with her own bridal salon. She doesn't believe in lasting romantic love, cutting off dates when any of her girlfriends try to get too close. But when her sister Maia asks her to be co-maid of honor with Maia's adorable best friend Gabi, Annika can't refuse.

Gabi Mendon doesn't know how to date. After ending her eight-year relationship with Matt, her no-stress college boyfriend, she is out on her own for the first time in her adult life and finally ready to embrace her true sexuality as a lesbian. Only, she has no idea where to start. What's an overthinker to do?

Enter Annika, renowned serial dater. What starts as a simple arrangement-Annika giving Gabi tips on queer dating and introducing her to the sapphic scene-quickly turns into hot secret hookups and nights spent getting to know each other better.

Over the course of Maia's wedding year, from engagement party to dress fittings, to bachelorette and bridal shower, Annika and Gabi must decide if what they have is worth keeping, or if they need to rip out the stitches of their relationship at the seams.
