Good Directions: A Small-town, Opposites-Attract Romantic Comedy By Magan Vernon

When my dad’s investment-fraud scandal turns my glittering Chicago life into federal evidence, I trade couture fittings and camera lights for a borrowed minivan, a middle school classroom, and one very inconvenient fresh start in Good, Arkansas.
My arrival goes about as well as you’d expect: I nearly hit a man, his cow, and my last shred of dignity with my aunt’s minivan—all while wearing couture that absolutely did not deserve rural humiliation.

Naturally, the man attached to the cow is Jesse—better known around town as Uncle Jesse, the grumpy, ridiculously hot uncle and certified Good, Arkansas heartthrob. He takes one look at me, my designer heels, and my disaster-level arrival, and decides he does not like me. Which is a shame, because my heart, apparently, did not get the memo.

I keep telling myself I don’t belong here. That I’m still the rhinestone-covered costume-design YouTuber with big plans, not Miss Parker, substitute teacher and professional chaos magnet. But the more Good starts to feel like home, the harder it is to know whether I’m running from the wreckage of my old life—or straight toward the love story I never saw coming.

Pack your bags for Good, Arkansas—because this laugh-out-loud, small-town, opposites-attract romantic comedy is ready to steal your heart.
