You know how the story’s supposed to go … but love makes its own plans.

Determined to win her back, he goes along with the advice of his friends: become the sophisticated yet vulnerable ideal man. How? Study the best romantic heroes from everyone's favourite rom-com movies.
Leah is used to being alone, especially after taking care of her sick foster mother for the past year. And with no family or friends to keep her in town, she makes the decision to move. Again. But when she becomes inadvertently drawn into Eli’s makeover scheme, her plans are put on hold, and she ends up being Eli’s guide through the wild world of meet-cutes and grand gestures. Even though she believes Eli is perfect the way he is. Even though she just might be falling in love with him …
‘The perfect swoony, slow burn, sentimental romantic comedy ... I was absolutely swept off my feet by this delightfully witty romance between a complicated heroine and an idealistic hero. Movie references a huge bonus!’ Jenn McKinlay, author of Paris Is Always a Good Idea
