Description
Aria Ramdeen is learning to love herself—and her favourite foods—again. No guilt, no toxic boyfriend. Full of newfound confidence, she subscribes to LoveInTO, a Toronto-based dating website, where she’s matched with a crush she’s had for years: the attractive light-haired man who lives in her building. Aria messages him on the app, but there’s no response, leaving her crushed and embarrassed.
Rob Anderson, who's recently divorced, secretly admires Aria. He just lacks the confidence to approach her. And since he’s let his LoveInTO subscription lapse, he doesn’t see Aria’s message. Suddenly, Aria seems guarded when they run into one another, and the pair endure months of long, awkward silence together in the elevator. Until one day, Rob decides to give the dating app another chance and subscribes again.
A fresh and entertaining modern romance seen through the eyes of two people who still believe in happily ever after, despite the pitfalls of modern dating technology, well-meaning advice from friends and family, and eating disorders. The Elevator will leave readers feeling hopeful and wanting to fall in love again.

BONITA S, Reviewer
Cute and warm tale of two shy ones, different cultures, different baggage, who just keep playing message tag and filling in the blanks with shy insecurities. Everyone will find something to relate to and the author includes really well done experiences of body image, eating disorders and how insidious they can be as well as hard to escape, bullying, racism, and gender identity. All blended in a warm and tasteful way. Fast and delightful read.
