I'll get back to you / Becca Grischow.

Grischow, Becca, (author.).

Summary:

"A charming home run of a queer holiday romance where two former classmates' plan to fake-date their way to freedom goes immediately awry -- but, perhaps, exactly the way they need it to. Murphy was supposed to be settling into her junior year at the University of Illinois with her best friend, Kat. Instead, she's stuck in a hellish suburban holding pattern: living with her parents, failing the same class that kept her from graduating the first time around, and making minimum wage at the same coffee shop she's worked at since she was sixteen. It doesn't help that the dating pool for a twenty-one-year-old lesbian in the tiny town of Geneva, Illinois, is anemic at best. When her and Kat's long-awaited reunion is plagued by stuttering conversation and uninvited guests, Murphy's resentment threatens to boil over. That is, until a miracle appears in the form of Ellie Meyers, a former classmate who is way cuter and not nearly as straight as Murphy remembers. Their heavy flirting holds the promise of something more ... until Murphy learns that Ellie's mom is the very professor preparing to flunk Murphy for a second semester in a row. Talk about killing the vibe. Romance might be off the table, but Ellie could be Murphy's key to getting into Professor Meyers' good graces and finally getting out of Geneva. And Murphy -- well-versed in defying parental expectations -- might be Ellie's chance to get her mother onboard with her own dreams. Together, they hatch a plot: fake a relationship for a holiday weekend at the Meyers' house. If everything goes according to plan, Ellie will be living her dream halfway across the country, and Murphy will finally be able to graduate community college and start her life in earnest. So, the fact that Murphy can't stop thinking about Ellie's lips on hers isn't relevant. It's just a part played well. Right? A story about opening your heart to possibility, I'll Get Back To You is a giddy love letter to anyone in need of a bit of bravery to step up to the plate -- and to the unending process of finding yourself"-- Provided by publisher.
