He was a boy, she was a girl - but no matter how obvious you make it, things aren't nearly that simple.Jordyn meets Anna unconventionally, and the two go on some very unconventional dates - which may or may not include donuts, spaghetti... and pink crocs?

This isn't your typical romcom - but that might just be the best thing about it.…
