Fiction Family Life
Samuel Cooke knows most women wouldnβt give him a second glance even if he were the last man on earth. Heβs the cripple with crutches, the nerdy computer genius every female past puberty feels compelled to mother. So when he leaves his lucrative career to teach programming to high schoolers, romance definitely isnβt on his radar. Perhaps thatβs why Greta Cassamajor catches him off guard. The sarcastic gym coach with zero sense of humor is no beautyβnot even on the inside. But an inexplicably kind act toward Samuel makes him realize she is interesting. Samuel is certain she wonβt accept his invitation to dinnerβso when she does, heβs out of his depth. All he knows is that heβll do whatever it takes to keep her as long as he can. Pretending heβs got his class under control? Easy. Being vulnerable enough to admit why he ditched his programming career for teaching? Um, no. That would require honesty. And if thereβs one thing Samuel canβt exist without, itβs the lies he tells himself. In this poignant, witty debut, Ramsey Hootman upends traditional romance tropes to weave a charming tale of perseverance, trust, and slightly conditional love.
