Millennial and bad movie junkie Leah Roth didn’t think her life would still be so directionless in

her thirties. Not everything’s bad. She’s living in a small town straight out of 𝘎𝘪𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴 with her eleven-year-old son and her friends and family. But her dating life is another story. There was the guy who insisted that his pet snake sleep next to them, the cheating ex who was more interested in admiring his muscles than changing diapers, and the amateur magician who tried to see how big he could grow his handlebar mustache. The one person who is always able to listen to her relationship woes is her best friend, Jake Bradley. Between telling him about her love life and taking trips down memory lane, she hopes the one thing they don’t talk about is the crush she’s had on him for years.

Jake Bradley was ten when his family relocated from Ireland to Minnesota. His world was

rocked on day one by his new next-door neighbor, Leah Roth. They became best friends

immediately, bonding over Game Boy, terrible films, and his love of baking. But underneath his

jokes and self-deprecating personality, Jake has a secret—he’s been in love with Leah for a long

time. After letting the chance to be with her slip by years ago, Jake has convinced himself that

there is no way that Leah has feelings for him…
