Seduta sull’autobus, Laurie ammira le luci di Londra e incrocia lo sguardo di un ragazzo sul marciapiede. Un momento che sembra eterno, ma l’autobus riparte e Laurie non ha tempo per scendere e scoprire di più su di lui. Per un anno, lo cerca in ogni negozio, angolo e pub, consapevole che ritrovarsi in una città così grande è quasi impossibile. Quando ormai si è rassegnata all'idea di averlo perso per sempre, lo incontra a una festa. Ma non come sperava: la sua migliore amica lo presenta come il suo nuovo fidanzato. Laurie è incredula: è lui, il ragazzo dell’autobus, quello che ha cercato disperatamente. Il destino li riunisce nel momento sbagliato, quando non possono stare insieme e devono nascondere la magia del loro primo incontro. L’amore ha le sue leggi, spesso incomprensibili. Può premiare gli audaci, ma anche chi ha pazienza e tenacia. Quando nasce a prima vista, può essere un fuoco che si accende in un istante, o un focolare che conserva il calore per sempre. Laurie si trova così a dover affrontare un amore che sfida le convenzioni e il tempo, mentre cerca di capire il significato di quell'incontro tanto speciale.

Predstierať, že ste autorkou romantického bestsellera, je jedna vec. Zamilovať sa pritom? To už patrí do iného žánru. Kate, bývalá herečka, dostane ponuku, ktorá sa neodmieta – zahrať si úspešnú autorku na letnom knižnom turné. Veď čo je na tom ťažké? Usmievať sa, podpisovať knihy a rozprávať o „tvorivom procese“ knihy, ktorú nenapísala? Charlie, agent z talentovej agentúry, rieši poriadne komplikovanú situáciu. Skutočný autor knihy nechce mať s jej propagáciou nič spoločné – a turné sa zrušiť nedá. Potrebuje presvedčivú náhradu – potrebuje Kate. Spoločné rozhovory, predstierané zákulisné príbehy o písaní, autogramiády plné nadšených čitateliek – a medzi nimi iskry, ktoré rozhodne neboli súčasťou marketingového plánu. Svieža rom-com z prostredia kníh a vydavateľstva plná humoru a slow-burn chémie, ktorá dokáže prepísať aj ten najlepšie naplánovaný príbeh.
