Description
With nods to Bridget Jones and Pride and Prejudice, this charming #ownvoices queer rom-com debut features a free-spirited social media astrologer who agrees to fake a relationship with an uptight actuary until New Year’s Eve, leading to unexpected results. After a disastrous blind date, Darcy Lowell is desperate to prevent her brother from matchmaking again. Love—and the heartbreak that accompanies it—is the last thing she wants. When she falsely claims her latest setup was successful, she never expects her lie to create complications. Elle Jones, an astrologer behind the popular Twitter account Oh My Stars, dreams of finding her soul mate but believes Darcy is not the one. When Darcy’s brother expresses joy over their supposed connection, Elle is puzzled. When Darcy convinces Elle to pretend they are dating to save face, she agrees with conditions: Darcy must help Elle navigate her overbearing family over the holidays, and their arrangement expires on New Year’s Eve. They never anticipate developing real feelings during their fake relationship. Perhaps opposites attract when true love is written in the stars.
