Dream On, Ramona Riley
Synopsis
Ramona Riley once studied at a prestigious art school, planning a career as a Hollywood costume designer. Then her father's car accident forced her to leave and move back to Clover Lake, New Hampshire, to help raise her younger sister. Twelve years on, she still works at the town café and has mostly let the dream go.
Then a big-budget romantic comedy arrives in Clover Lake to shoot, and Ramona sees a possible way back in. The complication is its star, Dylan Monroe, who is Hollywood's favorite wild child and also Ramona's first kiss.
Dylan grew up with famous rock icons as parents. She wants to show that she has real skills and is more than a chaotic nepo baby, so she takes a job at the café and shadows Ramona. She asks Ramona to show her what ordinary life looks like.
Dylan soon realizes that Ramona is someone she has met before, and that Ramona remembers her far more clearly than she expected. This is a contemporary romance between two women, set in a lake town with a light, playful tone. Real life presses in on them both, and each has a career to fight for. The question is whether their attraction can survive those ambitions.
