About The Falling In Love Montage
Product Description Two girls embark on a summer of montage-worthy dates (with a few strings attached) in this hilarious and heartfelt lesbian rom-com that’s perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Jenny Han. Seventeen-year-old cynic Saoirse Clarke isn’t looking for a relationship. But when she meets mischievous Ruby, that rule goes right out the window. Sort of. Because Ruby has a loophole in mind: a summer of all the best cliché movie montage dates, with a definite ending come fall—no broken hearts, no messy breakup. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it’s over, the characters have fallen in love...for real. Ciara Smyth’s debut is a delightful, multilayered YA rom-com that will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely fall in love. From School Library Journal Gr 10 Up—Saoirse is dealing with a lot. Her girlfriend broke up with her, she feels betrayed by her best friend, she doesn't know if she wants to go to university, and her mother is suffering from early-onset dementia while her dad moves on with another woman. Then she meets Ruby, a girl who, despite having problems of her own, loves romantic comedies and makes the most out of what life gives her. Instead of getting into a serious relationship, Saoirse and Ruby decide to have a fun summer fling while following all of the tropes from romantic comedies. Saoirse is a complex character. While watching her mom's health deteriorate, she struggles with watching her dad move on and worries that she too will develop dementia and forget everyone she loves. Ruby is fun and understanding, and her cousin Oliver adds extra comedic flare. Saoirse and Ruby, who are white, set the standard for the genre of lesbian romantic comedy. VERDICT A fun romance with substance. Recommended for all high school collections, especially those looking to enhance their LGBTQ holdings with stories that go beyond coming out.—Ashley Leffel, Griffin M.S., Frisco, TX Review “Saoirse and Ruby set the standard for the genre of lesbian romantic comedy. A fun romance with substance.” -- School Library Journal ? “An emotionally stirring queer romance with witty, playful dialogue.” -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Delightfully brash and no-nonsense. Pleasantly and audaciously fills a gap in queer romance.” -- Kirkus Reviews "A meet-cute in the style of Jenny Han, and just as sweet and cinematic as YA rom-com fans will expect." -- Booklist “A snarky and sincere romp through meet-cutes and grand romantic gestures, this book is a must-read for fans of Becky Albertali and Morgan Matson.” -- Ashley Poston, author of Geekerella and The Princess and the Fangirl “A joyous, hilarious, big-hearted book with the kind of electric, rollicking voice that makes you want to live in its pages forever.” -- Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee “A charming romp of a rom-com about the delights and terrors of falling in love. Saoirse is a heroine for the ages; she is smart, flawed, funny, and—when she lets her guard down—achingly vulnerable. This book will make your heart sing. Read it.” -- Misa Sugiura, award-winning author of It's Not Like It's a Secret and This Time Will Be Different “A book that manages to be both tenderly gutting and absolutely hilarious. I want to be best friends with Saoirse Clarke.” -- Dahlia Adler, author of Under the Lights “A slow-burn summer romance narrated by a beautifully snarky heroine who likes to pretend that she doesn’t have a heart of gold. This book was made for those endless-feeling summer nights.” -- Aminah Mae Safi, author of Not the Girls You're Looking For and Tell Me How You Really Feel “Everything I wanted and so much more. How refreshing to read about two girls who like girls who find each other in the perfect meet cute. You’ll want to read this one again and again.” -- Jaye Robin Brown, author of Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit and The Me
