For Fans of When Harry Met Sally

Ari and Josh have to bump into each other a few times over the years before they can be friends.

But after a particularly unusual reunion, they decide that watching movies, late night chats, and platonically spending everyday together sounds like what they need amidst both of their breakups. But when friendship blurs into romance and leads to a night they can’t take back, Ari and Josh must decide if it’s scarier to lose their friendship, or to take the leap into love.

But Michael isn’t like the other guys that Stella has dated before. Through their practice dates, Stella falls as hard for Michael as he does for her.
