Anyone But Her by Erica Lee
4.0
Reagan Cooper is an out lesbian who lives with her gay best friend Jamie Miller. Jamie has invited Reagan to go to his weeks-long family reunion, but leaves it until the last minute to reveal that he's not out to his family and that his family thinks that she's his girlfriend. In fact, they've thought that for literally years. Not willing to leave him in the lurch, Reagan plays along, all of which becomes really hard when she starts sparking off of Jamie's twin sister Charlie. Who turns out to to also not be out to her parents.
Either a long novella or an extremely short novel, this one feels like teetering on the edge of disaster for the majority of it. Half the interest is in seeing just how the house of cards is going to come crashing down, and whether all the relationships at risk are going to survive the fallout.
