Love & Robot Parts
by Dae Backus
Elli finally feels like she knows who she is and what she wants from life. She's starting grad school in the Fall, taking control of her Type One Diabetes, and even if she is unlucky in love, she's happier than she's ever been. When Elli met Ben over a decade ago, they fell hard for each other. Though things fizzled fast, Elli gained one of the best friends she's ever had, thanks to bad timing and missed opportunities. When they make a 'dating detox' pact the Summer before Elli's thirtieth Birthday, she is sure Ben is joking. She knows she'll be the last one standing and is okay with hiding her increasing attraction for him. He's already rejected her once. She couldn't bear it happening again. Over the course of the summer, will they finally figure out what their friends have been telling them for years? Are things changing between them, and if she's bold enough, could Elli really have everything she's ever wanted?
