About The Book
Life is a whole lot messier than the movies...
Bailey Rydell has found the boy of her dreams. They share a love of films and talk all day - Alex is perfect. The only problem? They haven't actually met...
When Bailey moves to sunny California to live with her dad, who happens to live in the same town as Alex, she decides to track him down. But finding someone based on online conversations alone proves harder than Bailey thought, and with her irritating but charismatic (and potentially attractive?) colleague Porter Roth distracting her at every turn, will she ever get to meet the mysterious Alex?
One of MTV UK's 35 hottest YA Beach Reads for Summer 2017
"An irresistible tribute to classic screwball-comedy romances that captures the "delicious whirling, twirling, buzzing" of falling in love." - Kirkus, Starred Review
"If you like Rainbow Rowell, Jandy Nelson and John Green, then you are going to want to check out Jenn Bennett." - Sugarscape
"A charming read, and uplifting story and a Hollywood ending worth staying up for" - Culturefly
A modern-day YA reminiscent of You've Got Mail, Alex, Approximately, is a story of summer, first love, and hidden identity.
