LIZ BUXBAUM HAS ALWAYS KNOWN
that Wes Bennett was not boyfriend material You would think that her next-door neighbor would be a prime candidate for her romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only proven himself to be a pain in the butt, ever since they were little. Wes was the kid who put a frog in her Barbie Dreamhouse, the monster who hid a lawn gnome's severed head in her little homemade neighborhood book exchange.
Flash forward ten years from the Great Gnome Decapitation. It's Liz's senior year, a time meant to be rife with milestones perfect for any big screen, and she needs Wes's help. See, Liz's forever crush, Michael, has just moved back to town, and-horribly, annoyingly-he's hitting it off with Wes, Meaning that if Liz wants Michael to finally notice her, and hopefully be her prom date, she needs Wes. He's her in.
But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz her magical prom moment, she's shocked to discover that she actually likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love-and rethink her own perception of what Happily Ever After should really look like.

The Boy ✔️
"Would you like to dance?" the boy asks me. I stare deep into his blue eyes, but I can't figure out who he is. He's tall with dark hair and the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen. I know everyone at this school, but with his features hidden behind his mask I can't tell who he is. "Sure, I would love to." Did I just say that? I agreed to dance with a random boy who I don't know. He takes my hand and leads me to the dance floor. We dance for a few songs and then he asks me, "Would you like to take a walk? I know the perfect place." I nod and he pulls me behind him off the dance floor. We leave the hotel and start walking down a little path. At the end of the path I notice a little fountain surrounded by candles. I wonder if he set this up. We walk over to the fountain and we sit down on the edge.

Baby,it's you
Claire Reynolds had a plan-focus on her career, avoid unnecessary responsibilities, and absolutely not become a parent. But when her best friend Megan ditches the country for a spontaneous Bali getaway with her yoga instructor boyfriend, Claire finds herself the temporary (probably?) guardian of baby Sophie. Determined to keep her life from spiraling into total chaos, Claire enlists the help of her annoyingly handsome (and infuriatingly competent) neighbor, Jake-who, as it turns out, is a pediatric nurse and way too smug about it. Jake offers to help her navigate the wild world of baby wipes, nap schedules, and the horror of assembling a stroller... in exchange for Claire owing him big time. As Claire stumbles through late-night feedings and surprise diaper explosions, she starts to realize two things: 1) Jake might be the most frustratingly perfect guy she's ever met, and 2) maybe, just maybe, she's not as bad at this whole "baby thing" as she thought. Between sleepless nights, unexpected feelings, and one very persistent baby who seems determined to bring them together, Claire has to figure out if she's ready for a new kind of plan-one that might just include love, family, and a whole lot of baby spit-up.Complete

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included.

After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be.
