Megan Harper is the girl before. All her exes find their one true love right after dating her. Itās not a curse or anything, itās just the way things are, and Megan refuses to waste time feeling sorry for herself. Instead, she focuses on pursuing her next fling, directing theatre, and fulfilling her dream schoolās acting requirement in the smallest role possible.
But her plans quickly crumble when sheās cast as none other than Julietāyes, that Julietāin her high schoolās production. Itās a nightmare. Noāa disaster. Meganās not an actress and sheās certainly not a Juliet. Then she meets Owen Okita, an aspiring playwright who agrees to help Megan catch the eye of a sexy stagehand in exchange for help writing his new script.
Between rehearsals and contending with her divided family, Megan begins to notice Owenāthoughtful, unconventional, and utterly unlike her exes, and wonders: shouldnāt a girl get to play the lead in her own love story?
