Sometimes love isn't a mystery - it's just one you haven't admitted yet. Best friends Mateo and Eli have done everything together - except admit they might be in love. When a late-summer carnival rolls into town, a visit to a fortune teller delivers a cryptic message: "Your soulmate is closer than you think." Convinced their romantic destiny is just a carousel ride or cotton candy stand away, the two spend one magical night chasing signs, sparks, and strangers... only to discover that what they've been looking for has been standing beside them all along. Set against a backdrop of twinkling lights, sweet nostalgia, and Ferris wheel confessions, Closer Than You Think is a heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance about missed signals, grand gestures, and the love story that was always meant to be.
