Pretty, popular Marijke Monti and over-achieving nerd-girl Lily Spencer have little in common--except that neither feels successful when it comes to love. Marijke can't get her boyfriend to say "I love you" and Lily can't get a boyfriend at all. When the girls end up at a late night showing of Titanic, sniffling along with the sinking ship, they realize that their love lives could--and should--be better. Which sparks an idea: Why can't life be like a movie? Why can't they create perfect romantic situations? Now they have a budding friendship and a plan--to act out grand gestures and get the guys of their dreams. It seems like fun at first, but reality turns out to be much more complicated, and they didn't take into account that finding true love usually requires finding yourself first.

Exploring the devastating impact of family tragedy and drug addiction, this poignant narrative delves into how well-meaning intentions can spiral into dire consequences. The story unfolds with emotional depth, capturing the struggles of its characters as they navigate their tumultuous lives, making it a compelling read for those drawn to intense, character-driven tales.
