Love Interest perfectly captures the thrill of those first few post-college years; the excitement and fear of casting off what's expected of you in favor of what you actually want, and the exhilaration of falling head-over-heels for the last person you'd expect.
This book charmed and delighted me from beginning to end!"

Love Interest will have readers swooning.
