Summary
Henry Fox has moved to America to finish his last year of high school, with his little sister Beatrice and his Mum. He’s estranged from his best friend Percy, and his other best friend June Claremont-Diaz has just moved to Scotland for a semester abroad. Following the death of his father, Henry has truly never felt more alone.
Until an odd meeting in front of a koi fish pond; he meets Alex, the boy with the perfect smile and eyelashes. He’s perfect; after a seemingly brief kiss, they begin emailing, falling for each other. He’s everything Henry wants but can’t have.
Because he’s Alex Claremont-Diaz, as in, his best friend June’s little brother.
Henry quickly seals his love for Alex in a letter, along with the three others in the vintage Earl Grey tin hidden in his closet. He’s fine; he can forget Alex.
Until—the day all of his private love letters are mailed out. Can Henry’s love life get any more complicated?

Summary
The email was meant for someone else. Henry doesn't know that.
Alex figures he can fake it. A few dates, an easy out, no harm done. But the pretending stops feeling like pretend. And the line between truth and lie keeps blurring. The house of cards will fall eventually. The only question is what it will cost when it does.

Summary
It’s 2040, and Alex Claremont-Diaz and Henry Hanover-Stuart Fox haven’t spoken in over twenty years—which everyone involved agrees was probably unnecessary.
Henry is now a retired military veteran and literature professor in London, raising his daughter with quiet competence and emotional repression refined to an art form. Alex, meanwhile, is a terrifyingly successful New York lawyer, single father, and workaholic who treats feelings like hostile cross-examinations.
Unfortunately for them, their daughters become friends. Very close friends.
Soon Alex and Henry are dragged unwillingly back into each other’s orbit through awkward reunions, unresolved history, sharp banter, and a growing suspicion that neither of them moved on nearly as well as they claimed.
Which would all be far less complicated if fate—and two suspiciously determined pre-teens—would stop interfering.

Summary
"Hello! I'm Alex..." Henry, who was not fully awake until then, was immediately jolted awake by the enthusiasm and dynamism of the so-called Alex. "...Do you feel like there's something missing in your life?.." Yes, that it comes to an end and we don't talk about it anymore, Henry thought. "...And what if you were ready to fill that void with a dream trip to the United States? Our personalized offers guarantee you a tailor-made and unforgettable experience! So, tell me, where would you like to go first?"
Or
Alex is a telemarketer and Henry is lonely.
Picture a slow burn romance, with every chapter unfolding through a phone call between Henry and Alex.

Summary
prima facie (law) adj.
based on the first impression; accepted as correct until proved otherwise
Henry dislikes Alex. That's alright, though, because Alex dislikes Henry right back.
But then Henry does something unforgivable. He's kind to Alex. And, Alex? Well, now that he's looking at all the evidence before him, he's realising that on the balance of probabilities ... Henry maybe doesn't dislike him as much as Alex initially thought.
Or - reference librarian Henry and law student Alex get off on the wrong foot. Several times. They find their way to each other eventually.
