Let's Connect

A year after his divorce, Daniel Stroman has decided that he's too young to die-or fuse permanently with his couch. But when he downloads the dating app "Let's Connect" and starts dating, his success/fail ratio isn't encouraging until he gets a connection request from Robin. Everything about Robin's profile is different, from the bright little bird he's using as an avatar to the long and thoughtful answers he's written for the standard questions. He's witty, funny, and easy to talk to. Robin could be his perfect match. But Robin is holding something back. Then again, so is Dan-beginning with the seven-year crush he's carried for his best friend, Trevor. Sadly, except for one brief moment, they've never been single at the same time. Or have they?

Being dumped is oddly freeing. It wasn't as though Robin could have met anyone in the real world, anyway. To do that, he would have to leave his house. But uploading a picture to the dating app Let's Connect only to be let down is still disappointing. Robin has run out of excuses not to look outward, and for the first time in three years, he's seeing many of the things he's been hiding from-including his next-door neighbor, Sean. The very same obstacle remains, however. Sean lives in the real world, and if Robin wants to get to know him better, to move beyond friendship to something more, he's going to have to step outside his front door. Robin will have to go out.
