What if your career as a bestselling romance author leaves you wondering if you’ve ever truly experienced love—so much so, you'd star in a reality dating show to fix that? Enter The True Love Experiment.
Fizzy Chen is a romance novelist who inspires swoony endings for everyone—except herself. When she's tapped to give a commencement speech, the weight of every heartfelt trope she’s ever written hits her: she’s never been in a real love story. Then Connor Prince, a devoted single dad and docuseries filmmaker, gets handed a new gig: produce a reality dating show—at the risk of losing his job. He casts Fizzy as the heroine. Sparks fly, deal sheets expand, and filming begins… but chaos, boundary-setting, and real emotion threaten to steal the show away from the script.
Why you’ll love it: It’s witty, heartfelt rom‑com gold—two pragmatic adults in their late thirties, with real careers, family ties, and a skepticism about romance, testing whether life can imitate art… or if it’s the reverse.
The True Love Experiment is a love letter to the genre, brimming with charm, humor, and “real love in front of a camera” tension that’ll have you rooting from frame one.
