      From the NAACP Image Award-nominated author of Happily Ever Afters comes a dual POV rom-com about Reggie and Delilah, whose love story unfolds through missed connections and chance encounters on holidays over a year. Delilah hides her true self behind a facade of indifference, often going along with things, like singing in her friends' punk band, despite her desire to remain in the background. Reggie, a D&D Dungeon Master and self-proclaimed Blerd, leads quests and critiques the game under a pseudonym, concealing his passion from his disapproving family. Their paths first cross on New Year's Eve, then again on Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, suggesting a cosmic force at work. Delilah admires Reggie's openness about his interests, wishing she could be more like him, unaware that he too is merely playing a role of confidence. As their holiday meetings progress, they begin to develop feelings for each other. However, they must confront the reality that they have fallen for versions of each other that may not be entirely genuine.

      Sixteen-year-old Tessa Johnson has never felt like the protagonist in her own life. She's rarely seen herself reflected in the pages of the romance novels she loves. The only place she's a true leading lady is in her own writing--in the swoony love stories she shares only with Caroline, her best friend and #1 devoted reader. When Tessa is accepted into the creative writing program of a prestigious art school, she's excited to finally let her stories shine. But when she goes to her first workshop, the words are just...gone. Fortunately, Caroline has a solution: Tessa just needs to find some inspiration in a real-life love story of her own. And she's ready with a list of romance novel-inspired steps to a happily ever after. Nico, the brooding artist who looks like he walked out of one of Tessa's stories, is cast as the perfect Prince Charming. But as Tessa checks each item off Caroline's list, she gets further and further away from herself. She risks losing everything she cares about--including the surprising bond she develops with sweet Sam, who lives across the street. She's well on her way to having her own real-life love story, but is it the one she wants, after all?
