But soon she&’s enchanted by the colorful community, including university professor Benedicto Romero—resident tortured poet, whose sole intention for sabbatical is to indulge in brooding introspection.When they discover a shared passion for romance novels, Lily and Ben are soon spending hours reading together by the pool, the spark between them unwittingly giving the other residents the impression that they&’re experts in matters of the heart…no matter that IRL their disastrous love lives bear little resemblance to the stories they&’re reading.But while Ben and Lily can pinpoint a trope a mile away and give excellent advice to others, they can&’t make sense of the sizzling chemistry between them, and the suggestion of a professional podcast suddenly forces them to consider the long-term. So what if it means working even closer together! So what if their banter makes Lily's head spin! It&’s the summer of taking chances, but a word to the wise: Miami isn&’t the place for growth and rebirth. It&’s the place to get messy.
