Jules Rose leads a quiet life working as a librarian. He's happy to spend his spare time reading books and talking to his homicidal cat. What more could he wish for? But when his cozy Friday night is shattered by a friend request on his book community app, politeness gives him little choice but to accept. Jules doesn't want to talk to anyone, but he can't be rude. Besides, if he had to talk about something, books is the topic he'd pick.
Phoenix Ford is dyslexic and avoids everything that has to do with the written word, but when the colleague he's trying to impress calls him stupid, he decides to convince the other man, he's mistaken. All he needs is the right book to make him look smart, a perfect balance between intelligent and short. And who better to ask for help than a guy who loves books so much, he labeled one boner-worthy on a book app?
When Jules finds out Phoenix never has read a book from start to finish, he's on a mission. He will find the right book, the book that will make Phoenix fall in love -- with reading. Phoenix's plan might have been to listen to the book Jules picked for him to impress his colleague, but that was before he got to know him. Talking about books is a sure way to Jules' heart, but is it enough for him to agree to go on a date?
