LGBTQ Romance

A woman who doesn’t believe in love and a hopeless romantic start a dating podcast only to discover nothing tops the charts like the real deal.

April Lassam doesn’t believe in love. Why should she when every man she’s dated has disappointed her? If only her mom would get the memo. April would rather focus on landing an upcoming promotion at work than a man. So when her brother offers her a deal—he’ll get their mom off her back if she’ll co-host a dating podcast with his best friend, Violet—she reluctanly accepts.

Violet Williams is in love with love. She is everything April usually hates—peppy, optimistic, and somehow impossible to even dislike. The odd couple make surprisingly charismatic co-hosts of The Hopeless & The Romantic. Each woman goes on one date a week—April with a man, Violet with a woman—and they discuss them on the podcast. As the show goes on, April never quite connects with her dates, and soon the only thing getting her through them is the chance to rehash with Violet.

It isn’t until Violet’s ex-girlfriend shows up that April begins to wonder about her feelings for her co-host. Has the romantic convinced the cynic that love exists and becomes the object of her desire?
