The Compliment Caper
Ellie Grace
What started as a late-night coding project to spread kindness has exploded into a viral phenomenon with thousands of users—and a potential disaster that could get her expelled. The university wants to know who's behind the app, reporters are investigating, and Maya's struggling to keep everything from falling apart.
Leo Zhang is a theater major who's confident on stage but awkward everywhere else. When he discovers SunnyDay, he becomes the app's most prolific user, sending hundreds of encouraging messages to strangers. Including seventeen to a mysterious user who seems to understand him perfectly.
When Maya's laptop dies during finals week and she meets Leo at the IT help desk, their connection is instant—witty banter, shared love of Shakespeare, and a comfort neither expected to find. As they grow closer, Maya's secret identity threatens everything. Because Leo doesn't know the girl he's falling for created the app that's become his safe space for expression.
And Maya doesn't know the boy sending her anonymous compliments is sitting right beside her.
As the university threatens to shut down SunnyDay and reporters close in on Maya's identity, she'll have to keep hiding behind her code, or risk everything—including her heart—by letting Leo in.
Perfect for fans of Tweet Cute and You Have a Match, The Compliment Caper is a heartwarming rom-com about finding connection in unexpected places, learning to ask for help, and discovering that sometimes the best love stories start with a little chaos and a lot of kindness.
