She's in the midst of a faith crisis and needs space from the toxic culture she grew up in to figure out what she wants.Wes Jones hasn't been interested in dating anyone in the two years since his terrible break up, and now he's lost his musical inspiration. When his "brother" asks him to go on a blind date with his girlfriend's older sister, Wes is reluctant but agrees.Wes and Elli are virtual opposites, so what happens when they’re forced together on a blind date? Will Wes find inspiration for his music? Will Elli finally let go of the religion she was raised in?From a Beta I would say it’s a low-stakes, spicy romcom that deals with religious trauma and finding yourself after losing religion. Emojis I would use are the heart eyes emoji, a ladybug, a guitar, and a pink heart. I’d describe it as feel-good and lighthearted. less
