A love story based on That 90s Show.
Iris Calder didn't plan to end up in Point Place, Wisconsin.
She didn't plan to live with her grandma. Or start over at a school full of kids who spoke in inside jokes and 90s slang.
She definitely didn't plan to catch feelings for a golden retriever in flannel who calls her "Boots" and makes her want to stay.
But sometimes the best things are the ones you never see coming.
Between basement hangouts, mixtapes passed like love letters, and one spectacularly failed Dirty Dancing lift, Iris finds herself tangled in a life that's messy, loud, and strangely wonderful.
And Nate Runck? He's not just the funny guy.
Not when he listens like he means it.
Not when he holds her like she's something worth staying for.
This is the story of red boots, late-night porch talks, and a summer that changed everything.
Not perfect. Not planned.
But maybe-just maybe-the beginning of something real.
