Lianna knows love best when it's written. Between the pages of her favorite books, it's easy to believe in grand gestures, perfect moments, and happily-ever-afters. But in real life? Love feels more like a messy first draft-disjointed, complicated, and not worth the heartbreak.

In this witty and heartfelt tale, Lianna must decide if she's ready to let go of the stories she's always relied on and trust the one she's living.
