Description
Danny Tamberelli, 90's Nickelodeon star from All That and The Adventures of Pete and Pete, teams up with his real-life wife Kate Tamberelli for a zany, big-hearted, and truly laugh-out-loud debut rom-com set in Brooklyn, steeped in 90's nostalgia, and inspired by their very own love story. Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren & Emily Henry! For two talented romantic misfits who've been looking for love for so long, a prophecy from a psychic could be just another disastrous-first-date anecdote--or it could be the beginning of a love story for the ages . . . Brooklyn-based aspiring writer Lucy Minninger has no trouble putting the comedy in her rom-coms. It's the romance part of the equation that's the problem. But even as the rejection slips pile up, and her second dates dwindle, Lucy refuses to give up hope--or her HeartThrobs(TM) dating profile . . . Former child star Rudy Riziero made his mark on some of the most popular kids shows of the ՚90s. But that early success has pigeonholed him into a stand-up routine riffing on his past work, while the slick single life he envisioned was clearly a fantasy. He's actually ready for a relationship, if he could just find someone uninterested in who he used to be . . . When Lucy and Rudy match online, they're eager to meet. But after their first date ends in a psychic's prophecy that is equal parts great fortune and certain doom, their flirty quips end and their search for answers to some of life's big questions begins: Is there really one person for everyone? Do destinies really intertwine? Where can you find the best tacos in Brooklyn? And when it matters most, will they throw caution--and fate--to the wind, trust their instincts--and write their own futures?Product Details

We're delighted we had the excellent fortune of enjoying this iconic read!" --Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of Do I Know You? and The Roughest Draft "Lots of rom-com stories are heavy on the rom and light on the com.

I took it with me everywhere until I finished." --Marguerite Moreau, actress, Wet Hot American Summer and The Mighty Ducks "Romance, comedy, tacos, psychics, life, death, and love--The First Date Prophecy has it all.
