Fast Track to Forever

One Year, One List, and One Love That Changed Everything

Celeste had always been a hopeful romantic, open to possibility and drawn to the pulse of city life. But after years in a long-term relationship that left her feeling depleted and disconnected, she knew something had to change. One Christmas she wrote a list. In a moment of instant clarity, what she wrote on that list becomes her compass—her permission slip to leave the wrong person and make space for the right one.  

Dave had been taken for granted in relationships, and online dating felt like a never-ending string of disappointments. He gave up on finding love and having a family, instead, deciding to enjoy his dog, his career, and the new city. But then he noticed Celeste . . . and he couldn’t stop noticing her when one awkward work encounter led to another. What began as lingering glances turned into something much deeper.

Told in alternating his-and-her chapters, The Love List: Fast Track to Forever is a memoir of manifestation, synchronicity, and love that moves faster than anyone’s therapist would recommend. It’s honest, hilarious, emotionally raw, and heart-burstingly hopeful—proof that when you choose yourself, the universe delivers.

This true story is for anyone who’s ever wondered if real love—the kind that changes everything—could be meant for them too. This is for those who dream of love but secretly fear they won't find it. This is a reminder of what’s possible.
