Summary
Ellie is the brainy, ambitious treasurer of her high school's Astronomy Club, with dreams of winning the Science Olympiad. Jack is the star of the drama department, used to standing ovations, but craving approval from his indifferent parents.
Ellie and Jack couldn’t be more different—which is very clear when a school play makes them work together!
Forced to perform onstage with Jack to save a failing grade, Ellie can barely tolerate Jack at first. But Jack’s passion for acting sparks something in her, and soon their rehearsals are full of more than just Shakespearean lines.
As Ellie struggles with her fear of relationships, and Jack fights his feelings after a painful breakup, they realize they might be perfect for each other—if they can stop getting in their own way.
When jealousy, insecurities, and family pressures threaten to pull them apart, Ellie and Jack must decide whether they’re willing to risk it all for love—or exit the stage before the curtain even rises.
