The premise

While trying to reunite her grandfather with his lost love, Annika teams up with college sweetheart Ryan to create a book about the experience, documenting different love stories along the way.

More than most. Mistaken identity, an enemies-to-lovers arc and a second-chance romance push it well past the usual Hallmark template — the strangest 18% of everything we've logged.
