I’m working on the blurb for Ashlin & Olivia, and this is what I’ve got so far. I’ve been waffling about whether to start with a shorter tagline of some sort - “An f/f second chance romance” or something like that. That’s probably a good idea, don’t you think? Catch people’s eyes as they’re scrolling?
As for the blurb:
When Olivia accompanied her Renaissance 101 class on a weeklong trip to Florence, she expected to encounter art history, not her own past. But on the night she arrives, Olivia runs into her old friend Ashlin in the shadow of Florence’s famous Duomo.
Their intense junior high friendship left equally intense scars when it collapsed years ago. But despite those painful memories, the two budding young artists nonetheless begin to repair their broken bond as they share waffles with Nutella and discuss whether Renaissance art is really just Bible fanart in the end.
The one thing they don’t discuss are the circumstances that brought Ashlin to Florence. In some ways, Olivia’s old friend is just as frustratingly mysterious as ever.
But as she and Ashlin rebuild their friendship, Olivia realizes how much Ashlin has changed over the years - and how much the pain of their final rupture had distorted her own memories of their passionate friendship. Most of all, she realizes that she’s in love with Ashlin. But does the elusive Ashlin love her back? And if she does, have they both grown up enough that they can avoid repeating the mistakes that destroyed their relationship in the past?
