Ciara Smyth
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.

"Great story with meaningful themes and enjoyable romance and humour."
Tera B.
"I loved the main character. She was hilarious, flawed and you couldn’t help but root for her given her circumstances. The best part of the book to me was the family dynamic. It’s a heavy topic and I actually wouldn’t have minded a book with the dad’s POV dealing with everything. It’s also closed door romance for anyone wondering. "

"Pretty cute, and I love Ciara Smyth! The ending was a little sad but I was willing to work with it. I could relate to Saoirse which made me more understanding during the more unfortunate events. (Example: the part in every romance book where one person is being stupid and they break up only to get back together in the end.) I also loved how the author identified the overused tropes in romances. 6/10"

"the romance was cute, but it was a way heavier book than i thought it would be"

"This really surprised me in the best way possible. My expectations were really just a simple lesbian romcom but this actually had some depth and a really interesting message of growing and moving on and appreciating the people you've been with but saving room for the future. Fantastic story, I would recommend to anyone needing a refreshing and heartfelt romcom that's lesbian and won't let you down."

"This was such a great sapphic romcom!"

"Cute, cheesy gays and such a Jane the Virgin vibe with the mocking of romance novels and movies, while also still highlighting every checkpoint of the classic romance novel. Love love love 𝩷𝩷𝩷"
