Perfect Timing by Owen Nichols

Jess is a comedian,  Tom is a musician. They literally bump into each other one night and are instantly attracted.  But when Jess finds out he has a girlfriend,  she refuses to speak to him again.  Now a year later,  Tom's band is famous and he's writing songs to her hoping she'll hear them and contact him.  Due to his anxiety around women,  he had created a fake girlfriend to keep his friends off his back, and the song Sarah's Not Real finally gets the message across.  But through a series of meetings and missed opportunities the timing just never seems right for them. They have to work through their own issues before they can finally grow and be together. 
This book is really hard to describe,  but I thought it was a beautiful love story, not a romance. I thought it was a little like When Harry  Met Sally, that over the years while they keep meeting,  they change and grow,  and in the end their relationship was deeper and more meaningful.
