They hated Valentine’s Day. So they created their own. Once a year. No phones. No strings. No future. Until one rule had to be broken…
Have you ever been afraid to shatter a fragile fairytale by taking a step toward real life? Lily and Tom’s story is a love that grew in spite of everything—in spite of the calendar, the distance, and their own fears.
They met only once a year, on February 14th, at the movie theater, rejecting the very idea of romance. No phones, no social media—just a quiet tradition that became the most important date for both of them.
Seven years. Seven meetings. Seven chances they almost let slip away. A journey from sarcastic teenagers to adults who finally have to decide: was their “I Hate Valentine’s Day” club a refuge from feelings… or the only way to protect the one real love that’s afraid to be spoken out loud?

What’s inside:

Trigger warnings: explicit scenes, heartbreak, queer themes.
