Love at First Psych

Published
2023

Synopsis

Marigold does not believe in love at first sight, and has a semester's worth of data to prove it. Robbie Moravian believes in it so completely that he collects meet-cute stories the way other people collect grievances. Their psychology professor pairs them for a project on precisely that question, and neither of them gets a vote.

The assignment sends them out to interview couples about how their relationships began, which means long hours together, a great many bad jokes, and a slow erosion of Marigold's certainty that Robbie is a fool.

Cara Bastone wrote Love at First Psych as an Audible Original produced as a full-cast audio play, with Santino Fontana and Stephanie Einstein leading a large ensemble. It exists as performance rather than page, and the banter is built for it.
