Her beachy blond hair was pulled back into a curated wild ponytail. 

The hair quote isn't important, I just liked it, for the word "curated." 

The meet cute in this fake dating queer romance takes place at altitude. Olive, a nurse who is terrified of flying, is on a plane for the first time, motivated by a promise she made to her dying brother. Luckily, she's able to snap out of her panic to save a passenger, who turns out to kind of be Mickey Mouse. Stella is the plane's co-pilot and feeling bad for Olive that the plane's diversion to Atlanta is going to keep her from her mission in Orlando, offers to drive her there. 

The two women are immediately hot for each other, but for whatever reasons can't just come out and say so. Therefore, Stella semi-contrives the fake dating scenario, saying she needs the PR to get her captain's wings, which could be her ailing father's deepest desire. 

The most charming relationship is Olive's with her best friend and fellow nurse Derek. There's also a good dog, a very bad ex, and some dumbass orthodox Christian family members.
