Indecision is driving me NUTS right now re writing my novel...one voice says leave it alone, don't overthink it.  On the other hand, I can visualize so many possible scenarios.

I think I may have written myself into a corner by making the MCs too close.  They have a wonderful summer spending a lot of time together, and perhaps a summer love affair that fades with fall might add interest.  They can always reconnect after college, maybe after other relationships failing.

However, as it stands now, they have a history of being friends when they were younger, and in my mind you don't just have a summer fling in that case.  Falling in love with a friend is certainly possible, and in fact the best relationships start out as friendships. However, to me you don't even start such a romance without some degree of confidence that it will lead to something lasting. I'd have to make less of their earlier friendship.

Any thoughts?
