Frankie Bellisario knows she can get anyone she sets her sights on, but just because she can doesn't mean she should-not when the person she's eyeing is Samara Kazarian, the daughter of a southern Republican mayor. No matter how badly Frankie wants to test her powers of persuasion, even she recognizes some lines aren't meant to be crossed. But when Frankie learns she's been on Samara's mind too, the idea of hooking up with her grows too strong to resist. Only Sam's not looking for a hookup; she wants-needs-the real thing, and she's afraid she'll never find it as long as Frankie's in her head. Forced to choose between her first relationship and losing the girl who's been clawing her way under her skin, Frankie opts to try monogamy...under her own condition: 30 days of keeping things on the down low and remaining abstinent. If she fails as hard at girlfriending as she's afraid she might, she doesn't want to throw Samara's life into upheaval for nothing. But when neither the month nor Frankie's heart go according to plan, she may be the one stuck fighting for the happily ever after she never knew she wanted.

I guess this is New Adult - the MCs are college students in their junior year. This is the third in a series, so I felt like I missed out a little bit on the goings-on before this book started. Specifically, I had a hard time keeping which dude was with which of Frankie's best friends, since they were both pretty generic in this book, but it wasn't that big a deal. I expected the whole Samara being the daughter of a conservative Republican mayor of a Southern town to be a much bigger deal than it ended up being. It's mentioned a few times, mostly in the beginning and some more at the end, but there's no big confrontation or drama resulting, and the book (and series) kind of ends with a bit of a cliffhanger on that front, a little weirdly. The major conflict here was a little bit of one of those “just talk to each other” situations, but that's understandable when the protagonists are like 21. I enjoyed this one a lot!
Edited to add: cover LOVE.
