Cliches & Curses

The hopeless romantic reader who swears she won't fall for 'cliche love interests' meets the college star baseball player who unapologetically pursues her

Clara Healy is convinced her family is cursed.

After witnessing the relationships from the two closest people in her life fall apart, Clara was determined not to be the curse's next victim by avoiding the root cause- falling in love with cliche love interests.

Leading up to college, Clara has managed to avoid getting stuck in situations that will cause her to spend more time than necessary with a cliche love interest. Whether it be the bad boy, an academic rival, or her all-time kryptonite, the star athlete.

But when she accidentally arrived late to the first day of ASL class, her streak came to an end when Colton Reed, the college star baseball player ended up sitting next to her. The situation only got worse when the class was asked to find a partner, leaving Clara no choice but to pair up with Colton.

Even though the circumstances were less than ideal, she wasn't going to let the curse get to her. Seeing Colton Reed on a weekly basis? She could handle that. Right?

From practicing ASL with bubble tea every Wednesday, car rides home and an unexpected night out together, Clara slowly starts to realize that some things were easier said than done.

And escaping the curse was going to be a lot more difficult than she thought it would be.
