I love this! I can't wait to read more about Lanie & Theo. Reminds me a little of Sixteen Candles, except Theo's way better than Jake. No girlfriend, no questionable morals. Looking forward to the next installment.

I love Lane and Theo. What a perfect start. I am already hooked and invested in their story.

Roll on next Monday.

By the way what is a cinnamon roll hero?

I thought of Sixteen Candles too. And my own unfortunate 16th where my mom forgot my birthday. Wish I had a Theo 🥰

My entire family really did forget my 16th birthday, too. I thought I was being punked. I had a Theo-like guy in my life (just a friend) who made it memorable. Nothing like what I wrote between Theo and Lane, but... there are echoes.

Love it! I truly love young love stories as they remind me I haven't been that young in a long time.

Looking forward to the rest.

OMG! Young Theo is my teen dreams super hero! The perfect star for my 1978-82 high school crush or favorite 80's movies hunk. Truly crushing this nerdy girl's fantasy man in the making. I would have loved to have a Theo rescue me and truly "see me" back then. LoL.

❤️ I didn’t get two paragraphs in before I was reaching for some tissues. Needless to say, I absolutely LOVE…LOVE…LOVE this story! These two characters are perfect for each other. Even after 13 years, everything you write is fresh and always has the ‘feels’ needed to make the story sing! 🎶

Can’t wait for the next installment! 😘😍

OMG… I just got and read the prologue….. It was fantastic. So sweet. It reminds me of my awkward early teens. I cant wait for the first chapter.

I too am invested in Lanie and Theo. Will she continue to feel and be overlooked or will she be seen by others, not just Theo? So glad she was “seen” on her 16th birthday.

Looking forward to Monday reads as their story develops!
