A charming home run of a queer holiday romance where two former classmatesâ plan to fake-date their way to freedom goes immediately awryâbut, perhaps, exactly the way they need it to
Murphy was supposed to be settling into her junior year at the University of Illinois with her best friend, Kat. Instead, sheâs stuck in a hellish suburban holding pattern: living with her parents, failing the same class that kept her from graduating the first time around, and making minimum wage at the same coffee shop sheâs worked at since she was sixteen. It doesn't help that the dating pool for a twenty-one-year-old lesbian in the tiny town of Geneva, Illinois, is anemic at best.
When her and Katâs long-awaited reunion is plagued by stuttering conversation and uninvited guests, Murphyâs resentment threatens to boil over. That is, until a miracle appears in the form of Ellie Meyers, a former classmate who is way cuter and not nearly as straight as Murphy remembers. Their heavy flirting holds the promise of something more⌠until Murphy learns that Ellieâs mom is the very professor preparing to flunk Murphy for a second semester in a row. Talk about killing the vibe.
Romance might be off the table, but Ellie could be Murphyâs key to getting into Professor Meyersâ good graces and finally getting out of Geneva. And Murphyâwell-versed in defying parental expectationsâmight be Ellieâs chance to get her mother onboard with her own dreams. Together, they hatch a plot: fake a relationship for a holiday weekend at the Meyersâ house. If everything goes according to plan, Ellie will be living her dream halfway across the country, and Murphy will finally be able to graduate community college and start her life in earnest. So, the fact that Murphy canât stop thinking about Ellieâs lips on hers isn't relevant. Itâs just a part played well.
Right?
A story about opening your heart to possibility, I'll Get Back To You is a giddy love letter to anyone in need of a bit of bravery to step up to the plateâand to the unending process of finding yourself.
