Harper, a hardened cynic and hopeless romantic, embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery and love in this swoony and heartful romance that will captivate fans of Tweet Cute and The Upside of Falling. Working in her mom's wedding shop, Harper alters dresses for petulant and picky brides who are more concerned with hemlines than love. After years of witnessing wedding disputes, Harper has come to believe that romance is nothing more than a marketing tool. However, her best friend Theo is a complete opposite. With just one date, he is already dreaming of happily-ever-afters, playing the accordion, crafting chain mail for Ren Festers, hanging out in a windmill-shaped tree house, crying over rom-coms, and taking his word-of-the-day calendar extremely seriously.

When Theo finds himself nursing his umpteenth heartbreak, Harper offers to teach him how to avoid falling in love. Theo agrees, as long as Harper proves she can date without falling in love. As the lessons progress, Theo takes them to heart, but Harper finds it increasingly difficult to uphold her end of the bargain. She can't help but glance out her window, eagerly waiting for Theo's return from his latest date. Even amidst her attempts to resist, she finds herself watching rom-coms, longing for a glimpse of the love she's been denying herself.

As the lessons continue, Harper's feelings for Theo grow stronger, and she struggles to contain them. If she confesses her feelings, she fears she will undermine everything she has taught him. But was Theo teaching her all along? The romance between Harper and Theo unfolds in a series of tender moments and witty banter, leaving readers swooning and rooting for their unlikely love story. This book is a must-read for anyone who believes in the power of love and the transformative power of self-discovery.
