A plus-one, a cross-country catch

As thirty approaches, Rikki Romona’s carefully managed plans for dating collide with the uncertainty of two weddings and an unexpected meeting. Reed Tyler seems promising, but the distance between them turns a possible romance into a much larger logistical question. The setup combines wedding mishaps, modern dating, and a magical twist, with Rikki’s ambition and reliance on schedules providing a counterpoint to the unpredictability of connection. The supplied description leaves the nature of the “other plans” open, framing the story around the gap between preparing for love and being surprised by it.

Book overview

27 Dresses meets Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in this witty, serendipitous rom-com with a magical twist from New York Times bestselling author Christine Riccio.

When your name literally means "forever alone," it takes a lot of positive self-talk to stay optimistic in the hellscape that is dating. But on the cusp of thirty, Rikki Romona is determined to find her person.

Columnist, therapist, podcaster, entrepreneur--Rikki is an overachiever who thrives on schedules. She can absolutely handle two weddings in two days, and lock down someone to drag along as a plus-one.

And yet, spoiler: She doesn't.

Rikki finds herself flying hopelessly solo at a themed wedding in New Jersey. A lonely Rapunzel waiting for her Flynn.

Enter Reed Tyler: writer, podcast producer, wannabe actor. Surprisingly single with startling blue eyes, he seems perfect. The catch? He lives kind of far away, so dating him would be a bit of a hike. Like an intense, all-the-way-across-the-country hike.

After one unforgettable night together, Rikki's sure this is the end. But as she braces herself for heartache, the universe, it seems, has other plans...
