Publisher Description
“A romantic hero’s journey with a happy ending that will leave you smiling and swooning… I loved it!” —Adam Silvera, #1 New York Times bestselling author of They Both Die at the End
In this hilarious and heartfelt debut novel, an aspiring screenwriter learns sometimes love has its own script.
Harry wants nothing more than to write Hollywood screenplays. He knows the first step toward achieving that goal is winning a screenwriting competition that will seal his admission into the college of his dreams, so he’s determined to spend his summer free of distractions—also known as boys—and finish his script. After last year, Harry is certain love only exists in the movies anyway.
But then the cause of his first heartbreak, Grant, returns with a secret that could change everything—not to mention, there’s a new boy in town, Logan, who is so charming and sweet, he’s making Harry question everything he knows about romance. As he tries to keep his emotions in check and stick to his perfect plan for the future, Harry's about to learn that life doesn't always follow a script.
“Fresh, funny, and full of heart... The perfect summer romance!” —Morgan Matson, New York Times bestselling author of Take Me Home Tonight
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Weber's lighthearted debut takes its cues from the cinematic rom-coms its 17-year-old protagonist adores. Harry Kensington plans on leaving Citrus Harbor, Fla., to study screenwriting at the University of Southern California. Sure that winning a prestigious screenplay competition will secure him USC admission, Harry is determined to stay focused on the writing, until he meets "adorkable" newcomer Logan, who works at one of Harry's usual writing spots. Further complicating things, ex-boyfriend Grant Kennedy, who broke Harry's heart the year prior, returns to town, rekindling old feelings and memories. Suddenly, Harry is fully consumed: falling for Logan over beach club breakfasts and surfing lessons, while navigating thoughts of what could have been with Grant. When it turns out that both have been keeping secrets that could derail Harry's carefully laid-out Hollywood future, he must decide whether it's worth sacrificing a picture-perfect movie ending for real life's sometimes-wonderful unpredictability. Action-packed excerpts from Harry's superhero screenplay, interspersed throughout, feel at odds with the novel's romantic conceit. Weber doesn't shy away from Harry's flaws, presenting them unapologetically and with empathy in this genuine and funny debut populated by classic romance tropes and plenty of summertime fun. Most characters cue as white. Ages 13–up.
