IT’S STILL YOU
by Raven Petretti-Stamper
It’s Still You follows Paige Taylor, a self-made, no-nonsense entrepreneur whose thriving business has left her personal life in the dust. She insists she’s over her ex, Darren—until a surprise run-in in Central Park shakes that certainty. What starts as a casual hello spirals into confessions, unresolved feelings, and one inconvenient truth: Darren is now married. With kids. And claims to be miserable. Against all logic, they reconnect. What follows is a messy, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartfelt journey through flirtation, temptation, denial, and one extremely awkward (and hysterical) encounter with Darren’s wife. As Paige teeters between emotional closure and emotional chaos, she must decide if what she feels is real—or just nostalgia in a better outfit. It’s Still You is a fast-paced romantic comedy about love, regret, and the seductive pull of the past. Sometimes the hardest person to get over… is the one you let get away.
