Not Your Basic Love Story

By Lindsay Maple

Book Overview

For fans of multicultural RomComs like Helen Hoang and Sonali Dev, Not Your Basic Love Story is a fresh, Vancouver-set romance about navigating love, culture, and the unexpected paths to happily-ever-after.

Stubbornly independent Becky isn't looking for love, but when sparks fly on a flight to Mexico she learns her carefully planned life might be the opposite of what she needs. What begins as a fun vacation fling with a sexy stranger turns into so much more.

The problem? Dev and Becky couldn't be more different. Back home in Vancouver, Canada, their relationship grows, and their two worlds collide.

Can a roommate-hating city girl with a diet of chicken nuggets and cheap wine make it work with a vegetarian, non-drinking, Sikh man who lives with his rambunctious multigenerational family in the suburbs?

As Becky navigates her way through a culture she knows nothing about, she is faced with one of the most important decisions of her life: change her plans for how she'd imagined her happily-ever-after, or walk away from love.

(Not) Your Basic Love Story is a RomCom about acceptance, compromise, and love being the only thing that truly matters.
