Theater Lovers: A Lit Lovers Second Chance Romantic Comedy (Lit Lovers Series)

A quirky, feel-good second chance romantic comedy with theatre geeks, small-town charm, and a long-overdue prom do-over.

High school heartbreak? She’s over it. (Mostly.) In Theater Lovers, a nostalgic second chance romcom, a neurodivergent high school art teacher accidentally “likes” her old crush’s ancient prom post—only to discover he’s back in town. Dean Riley, now a successful Hollywood art director, once ghosted her on the biggest night of her life. Now he’s everywhere she turns in Ephron, Washington. And despite a decade’s worth of resentment, the chemistry is very much still there. But can two people with a shared past (and a whole lot of baggage) rewrite their story and finally get their happily ever after?

Written by Ciara Blume, Theater Lovers is a heartfelt romantic comedy full of snarky banter, small-town theatre antics, and the kind of slow-burn romance that leaves you grinning. Perfect for fans of Schitt’s Creek, Max Monroe, and Penny Reid, this standalone in the Lit Lovers series brings together beloved tropes—brother’s best friend, friends to lovers, and second chances—with fresh humour and emotional depth. Whether you’re in it for the drama, the found family, or the long-awaited kiss, this one’s got all the right lines.
