Writing together as Tash Skilton, Sarvenaz Tash (Virtually Yours) and Sarah Skilton (Fame Adjacent) run an update on You've Got Mail in this romantic comedy of errors.
Love is "a smokescreen for future heartbreak," according to New Yorker Miles, currently couch-surfing after his girlfriend left him. Unfortunately, love is his job. Miles ghostwrites chat messages on dating sites for clients too busy to keep up with their own profiles. After an on-the-job meltdown, his boss tells him to succeed with his next client, or else. Two obstacles stand in his way: the aggravating woman who fights him for day-old biscotti at his favorite coffee shop, and his chemistry with his client's top match. Meanwhile, Los Angeles native Zoey came to the Big Apple for inspiration, but feels too overwhelmed to venture farther than the coffee shop across the street, where a cute jerk steals her stale biscotti and her favorite table. Struggling to make ends meet as a dating service ghostwriter, she takes comfort in chatting with her latest client's beau. As their enmity shifts to friendship, Zoey and Miles don't realize the online lovers they're pining after are really each other.
This tale of two Cyranos puts a sweet and funny spin on dating in the fast lane as Zoey and Miles advise their clients based on chat conversations with each other, with predictably disastrous results. Rom-com lovers will enjoy watching this pair of matchmakers find their app-ily ever after. --Jaclyn Fulwood, blogger at Infinite Reads
