*Wattys 2018 Winner / Hidden Gems* CREATE YOUR OWN MR. RIGHT Weeks before Valentine's, seventeen-year-old Kate Lapuz goes through her first ever breakup, but soon she stumbles upon a mysterious new app called My Dream Boyfriend, an AI chatbot that has the ability to understand human feelings. Casually, she participates in the app's trial run but finds herself immersed in the empathic conversations with her customizable virtual boyfriend, Ecto. In a society both connected and alienated by technology, Kate suspects an actual secret admirer is behind Ecto. Could it be the work of the techie student council president Dion or has Kate really found her soulmate in bits of computer code? She decides to get to the bottom of the cutting-edge app. Her search for Ecto's real identity leads Kate to prom, where absolute knowledge comes with a very steep price.

Fallston: a sleepy, upstate New York town near the Catskills. It's rich in history - and a story to tell. One that has been brewing since the Civil War. It also happens to be everything Oakley Weston-self-proclaimed history nerd-has ever dreamed of. Enter Eli Jacobs - youngest generation of one of the town's most historical families. It starts as an innocent partnership so Oakley can get into her graduate program. Soon, they stumble upon more than either of them bargained for. Tensions are high. Will everyone survive? - Dedicated to Anna (YYB), who listened to me for the last few months and pushed me to finish this thing. I owe you Chris Evans and all of the coffee in the world, yo. :)
