In a delightful follow-up to Written in the Stars, Alexandria Bellefleur delivers another #ownvoices queer rom-com about a hopeless romantic who vows to show his childhood crush that romance isn&;t dead by recreating iconic dates from his favorite films...Brendon Lowell loves love. It&;s why he created a dating app to help people find their one true pairing and why he&;s convinced &;the one&; is out there, even if he hasn&;t met her yet. Or... has he? When his sister's best friend turns up in Seattle unexpectedly, Brendon jumps at the chance to hang out with her. He&;s crushed on Annie since they were kids, and the stars have finally aligned, putting them in the same city at the same time. Annie booked a spur-of-the-moment trip to Seattle to spend time with friends before moving across the globe. She&;s not looking for love, especially with her best friend&;s brother. Annie remembers Brendon as a sweet, dorky kid. Except, the 6-foot-4 man who shows up at her door is a certified Hot Nerd and Annie... wants him? Oh yes. Getting involved would be a terrible idea&;her stay is temporary and he wants forever&;but when Brendon learns Annie has given up on dating, he&;s determined to prove that romance is real. Taking cues from his favorite rom-coms, Brendon plans to woo her with elaborate dates straight out of Nora Ephron&;s playbook. The clock is ticking on Annie&;s time in Seattle, and Brendon&;s starting to realize romance isn&;t just flowers and chocolate. But maybe real love doesn&;t need to be as perfect as the movies... as long as you think your partner hung the moon.
