Udgiverens beskrivelse
Two girls embark on a summer of montage-worthy dates (with a few strings attached) in this hilarious and heartfelt LGBTQ+ lesbian rom-com that’s perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Jenny Han.
Seventeen-year-old cynic Saoirse Clarke isn’t looking for a relationship. But when she meets mischievous Ruby, that rule goes right out the window. Sort of.
Because Ruby has a loophole in mind for their summer romance: a fake-dating agreement with all the best cliché movie montage dates, and a definite ending come fall—no broken hearts, no messy breakup. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it’s over, the characters have fallen in love...for real.
Ciara Smyth’s debut is a delightful, multilayered YA rom-com and funny teen romance that will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely fall in love.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When 17-year-old Saoirse is dumped by her girlfriend and former best friend, she decides that dating isn't worth the heartache, especially since she's already dealing with her mother's moving into a home due to dementia, and the revelation of her father's affair. She doesn't expect her electric attraction to Ruby, who is visiting her cousin's family for the season, but when Ruby proposes a summer together modeled after a rom-com all fun, and no hard feelings when it ends Saoirse decides to bend her rules. From Ferris wheel rides with prolonged eye contact to skinny dipping at the beach late at night, the two embrace every romantic clich , but feelings inevitably grow between them, and Saoirse struggles to let down the walls that keep her heart safe. The sweet love story is balanced with Saoirse's fear of being vulnerable and struggles to accept that her father has found a love of his own, and though the girls never plan for forever, what they create together is special and precious to them both. An emotionally stirring queer romance with witty, playful dialogue. Ages 13 up.
