Uh oh. Click foul! I didn't mean to smash “like” on that ancient post.

Now Dean Riley's going to think I still think about him sometimes—which I definitely don't. At least, that's what I'd like him to believe. No way am I giving him the satisfaction.

Let's face it. My high school crush on my older brother's best friend was a disaster of truly epic proportions. I thought Dean Riley was the leading man of my teenage daydreams. Turns out, he was just a supporting character in my origin story of humiliation. He promised to take me to senior prom and then... never showed. Not a word. Just gone.

It's been over a decade since that no-show, but I still haven't forgiven him—not for standing me up, and definitely not for skipping town like Ephron, WA, wasn't good enough for him. Now he's some award-winning Hollywood art director, living the dream in LA and probably forgetting all about the small-town people he left behind.

And me? I've built a perfectly happy life here, thank you very much. Teaching art to high school kids might not come with a fancy paycheck, but it's fulfilling. Plus, my secret side hustle—selling my multimedia art pieces online—has brought me a quiet kind of fame and fortune. Not that anyone in Ephron knows about it. And that's fine. I'm great at keeping secrets.

Like the fact that I'm an almost 30-year-old virgin.

Or that, yeah, I do still think about Dean Riley. Way more often than I'd like to admit.

Ciara is knocking it out of the park with Theater Lovers!

How can a rom-com be both modern and retro at the same time? With flashbacks and a great big chance for a do-over.

This book is so funny and full of classic tropes. They are classic tropes for a reason, and they are written so wonderfully.
