What happens when you're looking for love and all your best friends are romance readers?



Cue a clown car of ill-fated first dates that read more like failed first drafts of romantic fiction tropes than aspiring hunts for the love of her life.



Assistant conductor Izzy Lebrun spends her days riding the rails of The Green Mountain Zephyr between her home in Philadelphia and the end of the line in St. Alban's, Vermont. Beleaguered Izzy walks a tightrope—desperately trying to achieve a work-life balance between a job that pays the bills, and her dogged determination to finish her graduate degree so she can finally get a job that keeps her rooted in one place.



All she wants is to earn her PhD, get a damn cat, and find the love of her life.



Is that too much to ask?



We follow Izzy through her sometimes disastrous, sometimes implausible, but always hilarious journey through a maze of failed dates and epically bad one-night stands. Will Izzy ever get her ticket punched for a HEA or is this the end of the line for her?
