In this witty and heartwarming romantic comedyāreminiscent of Red, White & Royal Blue and One to Watchāan awkward tech wunderkind on a reality dating show goes off-script when sparks fly with his producer.
Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So itās no wonder then that heās spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchiseās history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star.
Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesnāt believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, heās a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date twenty women on national television. Behind the scenes, heās cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off.
As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, theyāll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.

Meer dan alleen een komische romance! Veel onderwerpen worden aangekaart die vaak vergeten worden. Van depressie tot aseksualiteit en social-anxiety met daarnaast het bewust worden van je geaardheid. De karakters hebben veel diepte en zijn divers. Het plot is wel erg voorspelbaar :) Plus het is een secret romance (what we all love)
