Description

Emily Henry's Beach Read meets Jen DeLuca's Well Met in this slow-burn romcom between two strangers - one grumpy, one sunshine - who must play nice with one another to avoid a workplace catastrophe. When her sister is away for a business trip, 23-year-old Ellie Maharani agrees to look after her nieces and discovers on the first day of school that her sister's PTA leadership is under attack. Ellie might not know much about PTA, but nobody steals her sister's presidency from under her nose. She volunteers to sit in as an acting chairperson, unaware that the job comes with a condescending yet attractive PTA co-captain who criticizes everything she does, including her choice of donut. The last thing Dion Saputra needs is more work outside his ER job, but refusing his old school's request would incite a PTA war. With a prominent musical gala on the way, any mistakes, however small, would reflect badly on Dion's uncle, the Principal. Dion would do anything for the man who has raised him since his father died, even if it means playing nice to the clueless co-captain who thinks cheese donuts are better than Mochaccino. Between meetings and rehearsals, stolen kisses and an orchestrated PTA coup, they begin to realize that maybe, just maybe, they don't despise each other's guts Swoon-worthy, endearing, and full of heart, this is a story about finding yourself, sticking up for your family, and falling in love with cheese donuts.
