How to Not Fall for Your Ex: A Closed-Door Romantic Comedy

Twelve years ago, he broke my heart. Now I’m falling for him all over again—one anonymous message at a time.

I don’t see a point in dating. Relationships are messy and they never end well. Plus, there’s the part where I seem to pick guys who are only pretty on the outside.

So when a friend asks me to beta test a new blind dating app—the kind where you can’t see photos—I say yes, figuring I’ll spend a week chatting with strangers and confirming that dating is still the worst.

Except… I really like one of the guys I’m messaging. He’s smart, funny, surprisingly sweet, the absolute best at flirty banter, and is my opposite in the best way. His name’s Jackson, and against all odds, I’m catching actual feelings.

There’s just one problem.

When we finally meet in person, I realize that Jackson is Jack Oliver—my Jack. My high school boyfriend. The one who went from perfect to pretentious faster than you can say “family money.” The one who ripped my heart out.

Now I don’t know if the guy I’ve been falling for is real… or just another version of the Jack who hurt me.

All I know is I’m not falling for my ex.

(Probably.)
