DEBUT Janovsky’s debut is a fun, lighthearted romantic comedy. Wren Roland is about to turn 22 and has never been kissed. The night before his birthday, he drunkenly writes emails to all the boys he had crushes on before he came out. Morning comes with panic when Wren realizes what he’s done, but he reasons that there’s no way all the boys will read his emails…right? Wrong! There’s handsome and wealthy Derick Haverford, who was Wren’s biggest crush in high school—and nearly his first kiss. Derick happens to be spending the summer interning alongside Wren at the town’s failing drive-in theater. Wren believes he can survive the summer without falling for Derick, but the two grow close trying to save the drive-in. Will Wren lose his head over Derick once again and have his movie-perfect first kiss?
VERDICT Readers will appreciate Wren and Derick’s banter and will clamor for them to finally kiss. Fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and Boyfriend Material will also enjoy this title.
