Hang the Moon: A Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
In a delightful follow-up to Written in the Stars, Alexandria Bellefleur delivers another queer rom-com about a hopeless romantic who vows to show his childhood crush that romance isn't dead by recreating iconic dates from his favorite films...
Brendon Lowell loves love. It's why he created a dating app to help people find their one true pairing and why he's convinced "the one" is out there, even if he hasn't met them yet. Or...has he? When his sister's best friend turns up in Seattle unexpectedly, Brendon jumps at the chance to hang out with her. He's crushed on Annie since they were kids, and the stars have finally aligned, putting them in the same city at the same time.
Annie booked a spur-of-the-moment trip to Seattle to spend time with friends before moving across the globe. She's not looking for love, especially with her best friend's brother. Annie remembers Brendon as a sweet, dorky kid. Except, the 6-foot-4 man who shows up at her door is a certified Hot Nerd and Annie...wants him? Oh yes.
Getting involved would be a terrible idea—her stay is temporary and he wants forever—but when Brendon learns Annie has given up on dating, he's determined to prove that romance is real. Taking cues from his favorite rom-coms, Brendon plans to woo her with elaborate dates straight out of Nora Ephron's playbook. The clock is ticking on Annie's time in Seattle, and Brendon's starting to realize romance isn't just flowers and chocolate. But maybe real love doesn't need to be as perfect as the movies... as long as you think your partner hung the moon.

Starred review from February 15, 2021
A woman who doesn't believe in love and a man who's made finding love his life's work discover that real romance is more complicated than either imagined. Annie Kyriakos has just arrived in Seattle to surprise her best friend, Darcy. With Annie's constant travel for her job at a human resources consulting firm and Darcy's preoccupation with her new girlfriend, Elle, the two haven't seen each other in more than a year. But Annie's got other motives for her impromptu visit: She's moving to London for a promotion and wants to tell Darcy in person. The bad news? Darcy is on vacation in Vancouver. The good news? Her brother, Brendon, has the key to her apartment. When Brendon Lowell, hopeless romantic and founder of dating app OTP, hears that Annie is in town, he hopes he might have another shot with his teenage crush. At dinner, the two hit it off immediately. But Annie is not looking to be swept off her feet, especially not by her best friend's younger (though unexpectedly very handsome) brother. In fact, Annie thinks love is dead, and dating apps like Brendon's are partly to blame. So, Brendon devises a plan: He'll take cues from his favorite rom-com films to prove to Annie that romance is real and, with a little help from Darcy, Elle, and their friend Margot, convince her to leave her unfulfilling job and stay in Seattle. The rom-com re-creations give the plot some structure. Tropes including "there's only one bed" and embarrassing moments like falling into a lake in formal clothes are used to great result--but the author doesn't let the gimmick overtake strong character development, and the writing feels fresh, never derivative. Smart, sexy, and sweet. Readers will be over the moon for this rom-com.COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

- content: Lauren Sweet narrates a whimsical romance between a die-hard romantic and a cynical skeptic. Annie and Brendon have known each other since they were kids, but the timing for romance has never been right. Now that Annie is unexpectedly in town, Brendon decides to throw caution to the winds and persuade her to take a chance on love. Sweet captures Brendon's unshakable belief that love will conquer all, while also deftly showing Annie's more complex and unsettled view: Sometimes love can lift you up, but it can also let you down. Ultimately, true love wins, of course. Sweet delivers a performance that will surely make the heart of any romantic sing. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
