Ethan is done with dating apps. From running into his ex online to catching his coworker behind a fake profile, every swipe feels like a setup for disaster. He’s ready to quit and move on until one glitch matches him with the last person he should want.

Alex doesn’t expect Ethan’s face on his screen. Not when Ethan is his best friend’s younger brother the kid who used to hang around with quick jokes and eye rolls, now older, sharper, and far more distracting than he should be. The app claims they’re a perfect match, but Alex isn’t buying it. At least, that’s what he tells himself.

What starts as a ridiculous error turns into awkward coffee runs, buzzing notifications, and one fake-boyfriend favor after another. Between public glitches exposing their chats and a brother who won’t stop laughing at their mess, Ethan and Alex can’t ignore what’s happening: the line between wrong match and right connection keeps blurring.

With fast banter, warm humor, and a romance that sneaks up when neither is looking, Swipe Right, Wrong Guy is a sweet, clean rom-com about leaning into the unexpected.

Will Ethan and Alex risk crossing the line or keep swiping past what’s right in front of them?
