The Girl Most Likely To
As an elder millennial, "The Girl Most Likely To" was a shot of pure, sweet nostalgia. The story bounces between present day and the early 2000s, telling the story of Rachel and Danny's friendship to almost romantic relationship in high school and their reconnecting at their 20 year reunion.
In high school Rachel was the walking stereotype of driven Asian student. She strove to be the best at everything she tried and had a plan for everything. 20 years later and her life is falling apart. She's single, and has just been laid off from the job she's had for a decade. On a whim she decides to go to her 20 year high school reunion, where she runs into Danny, her high school best friend (and secret crush). Over the course of the reunion and afterparty they work through the things that lead to the breakdown of their friendship 20 years before.
Their AIM user names were so nostalgic (seriously, why did all of us elder millennials love using the letter "X" so much in our screen names?) and reminded so much me of the early AIM convos I had with my now-husband.
If you're looking for a second chance romance with more mature protagonists, sweet, swoony MMC's and tons Asian representation, give "The Girl Most Likely To" a shot when it releases in February.
