Sloane has been single and unemployed for the last six months, but she's on the cusp of landing her dream job, if only she can design a video game prototype in 10 days. After randomly kissing a guy at a bar who turns out to be her hot neighbor Charlie, he invites her on a weeklong trip to Turks & Caicos, taking the place of Charlie's ex-girlfriend, who he thought was The One (she was instead a cheating meanie) and now just wants to make jealous with Instagram pics of his new "girlfriend." Seeing a chance to work on her game from a fancy hotel with an ocean view, Sloane agrees to go on the trip, not expecting to also fall for Charlie.
If that summary sounds a bit far-fetched, don't worry, I agree with you. I'm fine with fake dating tropes, but this one was about five steps too far. I couldn't buy into the premise at all, the characters made some really questionable choices (the first of which is naming a dog after the worst character in Buffy), and this was just all kinds of dumb. If you hate-read things, this might be worth your time. Otherwise, skip it.
