When I Picture You: A Novel
A big-hearted and sexy queer rom-com celebrating the kind of sweeping romance that inspires our favorite love songs.Â
Renee Feldman is desperate for a fresh start. Sheâd hoped to rediscover her creative spark by taking time off from her MFA in documentary film. Instead, sheâs stalled. Barista-ing doesnât chip away at her debt, her thesis project is nonexistent, and if she doesnât re-enroll next semester, sheâll be out of the program.
Pop star Lola Gray is supposed to be the songwriter of her generationâbut she hardly feels like it anymore. Itâs been a year since her secret relationship imploded, simultaneously breaking Lolaâs heart, annihilating her plan to come out, and plummeting her into writerâs block.
But when Lola sees Renee at her sisterâs wedding, all that stress comes to a grinding halt. Lolaâs teenage crush on the fearless lesbian next door was so overwhelming, it secretly inspired her debut album. Lola and Renee havenât crossed paths in a decade, but that night sparks fly.
Renee is still processing the hottestâand most unexpectedâone-night stand of her life when Lola surprises her again. Her team is producing a documentary alongside her next album, but the director they hired is a creep. Lola needs Renee to replace himâŠand filming starts in a week. With her thesis deadline approaching, Renee knows this is her only ticket to graduation.
As Lola and Renee reconnect, thereâs no denying the feelings they have for each other or the renewed creativity it inspires. But neither realizes how hard it will be to tell their love story in an industry that sets a narrative of its own.
