Los Angeles – Present Day

Podcasters Maeve and Finn have a history together, both romantically and as podcasters. Unfortunately, a painful breakup tore them apart, but a mega deal with a streaming company forced them to put the past behind them to work together. Or is the past really behind them? Will working together be painful or will they fall in love again? Can there ever be a happily ever after between them?

TELL ME HOW YOU REALLY FEEL is the name of Maeve’s and Finn’s popular podcast. This tale is told in flashbacks and the present day as they work and promote their show. The duo started working together while in college and they fell in love. Maeve comes from Pennsylvania and a middle-class family. Finn is the only child of a powerful Hollywood family who wishes that he would follow them into the film industry. Despite their differing backgrounds, Finn and Maeve are connected and can talk about just anything together. This led them to host a podcast, but it all ended after he had a fling with a female friend from his childhood. He thought he would give the new relationship a try after Maeve ended things, but he soon realized that he was chasing the wrong thing. He regrets hurting Maeve. 

Maeve can’t quite forgive Finn for cheating on her in TELL ME HOW YOU REALLY FEEL. Despite it all, there are still feelings between them, though she tries to ignore him, and he tries to respect her wishes. But spending time together and chatting about dating and other things on their podcast rekindles those old feelings. If Maeve breaks her vow and forgives Finn, will he do something to break her heart…again? That is the dilemma she faces. Meanwhile, they are trying to beat a rah-rah obnoxious rival and become the number one podcast in the country. Will they succeed? 

TELL ME HOW YOU REALLY FEEL is told from both Maeve's and Finn’s points of view, plus flashes back to their early years together when they started out and first fell in love. Their relationship is raucous and emotional because deep down, they still care for each other. Will they succeed in becoming number one in the hearts of listeners and each other? Find out the answer by grabbing a copy of TELL ME HOW YOU REALLY FEEL.
