The Boy You Always Wanted

Love blossoms in the unlikeliest of places when Francine persuades her secret crush Ollie to befriend her ageing grandfather.

A girl, a boy, a grandfather and a plan.

The girl: Francine. Model teenager, dutiful granddaughter, absolutely no chill.

The grandfather: Francine's beloved a gung. He has one final wish, a male heir to carry on the family traditions. It's an outdated idea, but Francine loves him, and she has a plan to bring him the boy he always wanted.

The boy: Ollie. Family friend, former crush, no idea how Francine has convinced him to get mixed up in her off-the-wall, and totally sexist, honorary grandson plan.

The plan: might work.

But as Ollie and Francine's worlds collide, their secrets get tangled, and so do their feelings. Sometimes what you really want, isn't at all what you expected.
