From The Publisher* | Two girls embark on a summer of montage-worthy dates (with a few strings attached) in this hilarious and heartfelt lesbian rom-com that's perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Jenny Han. Seventeen-year-old cynic Saoirse Clarke isn't looking for a relationship. But when she meets mischievous Ruby, that rule goes right out the window. Sort of. Because Ruby has a loophole in mind: a summer of all the best cliché movie montage dates, with a definite ending come fall-no broken hearts, no messy breakup. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren't forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it's over, the characters have fallen in love...for real. Ciara Smyth's debut is a delightful, multilayered YA rom-com that will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely fall in love. |

Review Quote* | "Delightfully brash and no-nonsense. Pleasantly and audaciously fills a gap in queer romance." |
Review Quote* | "A meet-cute in the style of Jenny Han, and just as sweet and cinematic as YA rom-com fans will expect." |
Review Quote* | "A snarky and sincere romp through meet-cutes and grand romantic gestures, this book is a must-read for fans of Becky Albertali and Morgan Matson." |
Review Quote* | "A joyous, hilarious, big-hearted book with the kind of electric, rollicking voice that makes you want to live in its pages forever." |
Review Quote* | "A charming romp of a rom-com about the delights and terrors of falling in love. Saoirse is a heroine for the ages; she is smart, flawed, funny, and-when she lets her guard down-achingly vulnerable. This book will make your heart sing. Read it." |
Review Quote* | "A book that manages to be both tenderly gutting and absolutely hilarious. I want to be best friends with Saoirse Clarke." |
Review Quote* | "A slow-burn summer romance narrated by a beautifully snarky heroine who likes to pretend that she doesn't have a heart of gold. This book was made for those endless-feeling summer nights." |
