What if dating isn't something you learn... but something you discover?
Ryan is a teenager who feels like he's missed something everyone else understands.
The rules.
The signals.
The way people connect.
Everyone else seems to get it.
He doesn't.
Then one night, everything changes.
A mysterious friend arrives.
A fall from a water tower defies reality.
And suddenly, Ryan is pulled into a hidden world beneath the surface of ordinary life...
A world of shifting mazes and impossible choices -where people don't just meet...
They are chosen.
But Ryan isn't looking to be chosen.
He's looking to understand.
As the night unfolds, he's forced to confront questions no one ever answers:
- What does it really mean to choose someone?
- Is there such a thing as the right person?
- And what happens when you refuse to follow the rules?
Blending romance, fantasy, and coming-of-age storytelling, How to Date and Other Teenage Fantasies is a surreal and thought-provoking journey through love, identity, and the strange ways people find each other.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Coming-of-age romance
- Magical realism and surreal worlds
- First love stories with emotional depth
- Stories about choice, connection, and identity
Because in the end...
It's never been about magic.
It's just about talking to someone like they matter.
Step into a world where nothing makes sense... until it does.
