Ryan Porter thinks in algorithms-a master of systems and data analysis. But human behavior? Unsolvable. Sofie Chen speaks fluent human. Queen of social skills, her superpower is reading people and making them feel understood.
When their New York event-planning firm pairs them up to wrangle everything from flat-Earthers to Lincoln impersonators, Sofie becomes Ryan's guide to the baffling world of social interaction, while he shows her the unexpected beauty of patterns and order. But when a colleague's sabotage threatens Ryan's career, their partnership-and maybe something more-becomes the one thing he never thought to put in a spreadsheet. A sharp, funny rom-com full of workplace banter, quirky clients, and slow-burn charm-for fans of The Kiss Quotient and The Rosie Project.
