"An absolute delight of a romcom from start to finish." --Rachael Lippincott, New York Times-bestselling author of She Gets the Girl
"A love letter to boy-bands and fanfictions, Langford delivered a romance that makes me nostalgic for the nights I spent shamelessly reading under the covers and dreaming about love." --Trinity Nguyen, bestselling author of A Bánh Mì for Two For fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon and Alice Oseman, this swoony, fast-paced romance stars a teen who falls in love with the lead singer of America's most popular boy band during a whirlwind summer tour. This is what dreams are made of.Every teenager in America knows eighteen-year-old Felix Song, the lead singer of the most popular boy band since One Direction. Unfortunately, Natalie Nielsen is no exception. Though she thinks of him more as an annoying rich kid from her hometown than a heartthrob. Uninterested in stardom, Natalie dreams of honoring her late dad's legacy and making a positive impact on her beloved Deaf community by revamping her family's run-down Deaf Center. The issue? She has no money. When Felix's little sister's hearing loss begins to accelerate, he gives Natalie a generous job offer that would help secure the Center's future: but she must accompany him on tour this summer to teach him ASL. What begins as a professional arrangement soon morphs into stolen kisses and late-night rendezvous. But as their connection deepens, so do the risks--and when their relationship suddenly takes center stage, it's not only their hearts but Felix's career on the line. Amid relentless public scrutiny, contractual obligations, and meddling band members, Natalie must decide if their dreams can co-exist in the spotlight.
