A near-perfect examination of love and what it means to connect with another person, in all it’s pain and joy. The main characters of this book look at the tropes of queer storytelling and basically dismiss them all, even as they try to copy the tropes of the rom-com genre throughout a summer romance. A girl looking at a future of almost-guaranteed early-onset dementia diagnosis determined not to get close to anyone has her world turned upside down by a beautiful stranger, and learns the message that love doesn't have to mean 'forever' to be meaningful or true.
