You Won’t Forget Me

Eddings (Late Bloomer) explores the ups and downs of a burgeoning band in this funny and contemplative romance. For singer Cubby Clark, getting to tour the East Coast with her group Tea Time Tantrum should feel like years of dedication paying off. But the moment is marred by negative publicity and social media ridicule sparked by her self-absorbed ex-bandmate and ex-boyfriend, who has catapulted into stardom for a song that paints Cubby as a lackluster lover. After a sultry picture of Cubby and pianist Harry goes viral, suggesting a scandalous love triangle, Tea Time Tantrum decides to use this attention to their advantage and give the crowds more to gossip about. Behind the scenes, however, it’s Cubby’s connection with her childhood best friend and bassist Darcy Burton that simmers with romantic tension. After the women share an impulsive hookup, they struggle to redefine their relationship. Their magnetic chemistry alongside thoughtful discussions of mental health, the pursuit of art, and life in the public eye make up for occasionally uneven pacing, which causes certain scenes to drag and others to resolve abruptly. This vulnerable queer coming-of-age story will strike just the right chord with those who appreciate steamy and tender friends-to-lovers romances. Agent: Jessica Mileo and Claire Friedman, InkWell Management. (June)
