About Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date
Iris Kelly has one rule: she doesn’t date. Her friends may be happily paired off and her family may want to see her settled, but Iris is perfectly content with commitment-free fun—at least until her new career as a romance novelist hits a wall and her second book deadline starts closing in. Looking for distraction, Iris meets a gorgeous stranger named Stefania in a Portland bar. One disastrous one-night stand later, she is ready to forget the whole thing—until she auditions for a local queer retelling of Much Ado About Nothing and finds Stefania there too, now introduced as Stevie. When Stevie panics and asks Iris to pretend to be her girlfriend, Iris agrees, hoping the fake relationship might spark the romantic inspiration she desperately needs. But playing at love becomes dangerously convincing. Witty, steamy and heartfelt, Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date is a sapphic rom-com about creative block, messy vulnerability and the terrifying possibility that the best love story is the one you never planned to write.
