| Florida & California – Present Day It’s the 15th anniversary of the Palm Bay class reunion. Romantic comedy screenwriter Molly Marks doesn’t want to be there but her two best girlfriends cajoled her into coming. She is hoping that she can just hide as much as she can, but after the party committee sets up people at various tables, it’s Molly’s bad luck to be at the same table as her high school sweetheart, Seth Rubinstein. Things are awkward at first because Molly ruthlessly dumped him after they graduated because she didn’t think a long-distance relationship would work. After a bit of hesitation (and encouragement from classmates), Molly and Seth are soon chatting away—and end up spending the night together having sex. Meanwhile, as part of their discussions, they predict who at their class reunion will end up romantically with. In five years, they will get together at the 20th reunion and compare notes. But the catch is that they are one of the couples they bet on. Molly doesn’t believe in true love, while Seth is hopeful of finding “the one.” Will they, perhaps, end up together? JUST SOME STUPID LOVE STORY is told from both Molly's and Seth’s point of view. Neither is currently involved with anyone, and Molly still smarts from her father’s abandonment when he divorced her mother. Seth is a high-powered family attorney, which Molly thinks is funny because of her feelings about marriage and divorce. It’s clear to readers that they still have a thing for each other. At first, they text back and forth little things, like updating what is going on with their circle of former classmates they bet on. Seth even gets engaged but it is soon over when he realizes that the woman isn’t right for him. Then they meet up in Los Angeles at a baseball game by accident. It starts them talking and both realize without telling the other that they are still interested in each other. Will it lead to a romance between them? Despite their hang-ups about love and marriage, is it destined in the stars that they are made for each other? A cute, fun tale that centers around a reunited couple who really aren’t reunited, JUST SOME STUPID LOVE STORY takes place over several years, including the Covid years when people were locked down. Molly and Seth are never far from each other’s thoughts. It is like the class reunion reset things for them and now they just have to see what they mean to each other. You will laugh and cry as they navigate their lives during these years. How will it turn out? You will need to find the answer by picking up a copy of JUST SOME STUPID LOVE STORY. You won’t be sorry.
