Synopsis

Stubbornly independent Becky isn't looking for love, but when sparks fly on a flight to Mexico she learns her carefully planned life might be the opposite of what she needs. What begins as a fun vacation fling with a sexy stranger turns into so much more.

The problem? Dev and Becky couldn't be more different. Back home in Vancouver, Canada, their relationship grows, and their two worlds collide.

Can a roommate-hating city girl with a diet of chicken nuggets and cheap wine make it work with a vegetarian, non-drinking, Sikh man who lives with his rambunctious multigenerational family in the suburbs?

As Becky navigates her way through a culture she knows nothing about, she is faced with one of the most important decisions of her life: change her plans for how she'd imagined her happily-ever-after, or walk away from love.

(Not) Your Basic Love Story is a rom com about acceptance, compromise, and love being the only thing that truly matters.

Contains mature themes.

About Lindsay Maple

Lindsay Maple is the author of (Not) Your Basic Love Story. She was born and raised in the prairie provinces of Canada. She studied psychology for three years at the University of Calgary before realizing it wasn't for her, cutting her losses, and moving to British Columbia. It was there she built her family, complete with a loving husband, two busy little boys, and a giant tortoise named Doug. Lindsay manages a local hot yoga and fitness studio while teaching several classes per week, including goat yoga. When not inundated with laundry, she can be found hiking in the old growth forests, drinking wine with Doug in the backyard, or baking her famous chocolate-chip banana muffins. For Lindsay, writing has always been a cathartic release, and now it serves as her best source of self-care.

I had no idea that in losing my luggage, I’d find something so unexpectedly wonderful. When I saw that the main guy Dev is an Indian-Canadian, I was so excited to pick this book up. The author was spot on when it came to describing all the little things from the Desi dishes to the clothes, traditions......more

Goodreads review by Meghan on August 16, 2022

Well the title definitely lived up to the story. This was not your basic love story at all. I think I knew that was going to be the case after the horrible/gross meet cute between the two main characters. The beginning of the story is lovely, all the good feelings, everything is going great and the b......more

Yay! Another Canadian author for me to love! I'm already excited to see what Lindsay comes up with next. Not Your Basic Love Story is pure gold!

Thank you Netgalley & Lindsay Maple for providing me with an ARC. All thoughts are my own. (Not) Your Basic Love Story sees Becky on her way to Mexico from Canada for her best friend's wedding, where she meets Jagdev Singh (or Dev as he prefers to be called) on the plane and they seem to hit it off.......more

I've had the pleasure of reading Lindsay's book in advance and LOVED it! So much great romance and tension! OOh baby! It gave me all the feels, tackling tough issues, but balancing it perfectly with love and laughter. And I wish these characters were real so I could be friends with them in real life......more
