The Reluctant Heartthrob
The Reluctant Heartthrob | Jackie Lau
1 post | 1 read
Data scientist Robyn Au keeps seeing a cute guy at her neighborhood coffee shop. When she encounters him at a bar, she talks to him on a dare, and they enjoy a hot night together. The next morning, she’s shocked to find his picture in a listicle. Did she just sleep with Ethan Park, an actor on Chu’s Restaurant? She panics, leaves without saying goodbye, and starts avoiding the coffee shop. But when she sees him again—and somehow manages not to die of embarrassment—he asks her out. Robyn hesitantly agrees, deciding she won’t sleep with Canada’s newest heartthrob again until they’ve been dating for more than a month. She can’t imagine that happening, though—it’s longer than she’s ever dated anyone. Men always get frustrated with her and don’t appreciate her for who she is. But grumpy Ethan, who’s completely unlike his himbo character on the sitcom, might end up changing her mind about love…

Behind me, a post-war building has incorporated the townhouse‘s chapel, which looks mostly intact.
