The second person, in a white shirt and tie, looks back at them with a fond expression. Large pink lettering above reads “Anatomy of a Rom-Com,” with playful graphics like a heart diagram, lipstick kiss mark, and stethoscope incorporated into the title.

Anatomy of a Rom-Com

Jessica is unlucky in love... She has been on date after date, finding nothing but disappointment to warm her on the lonely nights. 

Enter Drew, a bartender who loves love and has an encyclopedic knowledge of rom-coms. 

Together, using all the classic tropes, they come up with a plan to win over Jessica’s secret crush, her boss at the hospital, an eminent surgeon as hot as he is smart. 

Running through every classic rom-com, Jessica and Drew work their way closer to finding the secret to the biological process known as love. But as their plans unfold, and the two grow closer together, is it possible that the person Jessica is actually falling for might be right under her nose?
