The Love List

One Year, One List, and One Love That Changed Everything

Celeste had always been a hopeful romantic, open to possibility and drawn to the pulse of city life. But after years in a long-term relationship that left her feeling depleted and disconnected, she knew something had to change. One Christmas she wrote a list. In a moment of instant clarity, what she wrote on that list becomes her compass-her permission slip to leave the wrong person and make space for the right one.

Dave had been taken for granted in relationships, and online dating felt like a never-ending string of disappointments. He gave up on finding love and having a family, instead, deciding to enjoy his dog, his career, and the new city. But then he noticed Celeste . . . and he couldn't stop noticing her when one awkward work encounter led to another. What began as lingering glances turned into something much deeper.

Told in alternating his-and-her chapters, The Love List: Fast Track to Forever is a memoir of manifestation, synchronicity, and love that moves faster than anyone's therapist would recommend. It's honest, hilarious, emotionally raw, and heart-burstingly hopeful-proof that when you choose yourself, the universe delivers.

This true story is for anyone who's ever wondered if real love-the kind that changes everything-could be meant for them too. This is for those who dream of love but secretly fear they won't find it. This is a reminder of what's possible.
