First published 2021
Brendon Lowell built a dating app because he believes everyone has their perfect match. When Annie arrives in Seattle for a temporary visit, he sees his chance. He has loved his sister's best friend since childhood, and now they are finally in the same city. Annie planned this trip to see friends before moving overseas. She expects to find the same sweet, awkward boy she remembers. Instead, she discovers Brendon has grown into a tall, attractive man who makes her pulse race. Annie knows getting involved would be foolish since her stay is short and Brendon wants lasting love. When Brendon learns Annie has sworn off dating, he decides to prove romance still exists. He plans elaborate dates inspired by classic romantic comedies, following Nora Ephron's blueprint for wooing. Time runs out as Annie's departure approaches. Brendon discovers that real romance requires more than grand gestures and movie magic. True love might not need perfection if you find someone who makes you feel like they hung the moon.
