When I Picture You - Sasha Laurens

\nA big-hearted and sexy queer rom-com celebrating the kind of sweeping romance that inspires our favorite love songs. \n \nRenee Feldman is desperate for a fresh start. She'd hoped to rediscover her creative spark by taking time off from her MFA in documentary film. Instead, she's stalled. Barista-ing doesn't chip away at her debt, her thesis project is nonexistent, and if she doesn't re-enroll next semester, she'll be out of the program.\n \nPop star Lola Gray is supposed to be the songwriter of her generation--but she hardly feels like it anymore. It's been a year since her secret relationship imploded, simultaneously breaking Lola's heart, annihilating her plan to come out, and plummeting her into writer's block.\n \nBut when Lola sees Renee at her sister's wedding, all that stress comes to a grinding halt. Lola's teenage crush on the fearless lesbian next door was so overwhelming, it secretly inspired her debut album. Lola and Renee haven't crossed paths in a decade, but that night sparks fly.\n \nRenee is still processing the hottest--and most unexpected--one-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 him...and filming starts in a week. With her thesis deadline approaching, Renee knows this is her only ticket to graduation.\n \nAs Lola and Renee reconnect, there's 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.\n
