Juliet and Monroe,  co-hosts on a relationship podcast, are gifted a house by a loyal listener. 

This was a cute and fun, yet predictable story. Juliet has been unlucky in love, going on bad date after bad date. Monroe is divorced and not looking to settle down. 8 years ago these two had a week long fling and have harboured feelings for each other ever since. After spending a week getting the house ready to sell, they start to figure out their feelings for each other. Forced proximity, a few fake dates, and friendly interventions help them to process and act upon their true feelings for each other. 

Tropes: second chance, brother's best friend, forces proximity, friends to lovers, fake dating
