🐒 ✈️ Love Letter to Wanderlust is a STEMinist romcom by Allison Lau in which an American primatologist and a Hong Kong-ese pilot reconnect by chance and set off on a world-wide adventure, navigating remote jungles, academia, and familial expectations, all while battling an all-consuming love that threatens to crash land both their lives.

This story will always be fully satisfying in its free form.
For readers who want to follow Liv and Tin Yan past the door, past the map, and into the places only whispered about, you’ll find an optional Midnight Postscript—the author’s cut, after hours, where the journey deepens and the heat lingers.

Liv smiled sweetly when he looked over at her in the passenger seat. “This next winery apparently has cheese too,” she said, pointing at the brochure he’d insisted they didn’t need.

“You can have all the cheese you want,” he promised.

When a tone sounded in the center console, he pulled out his phone to check it.

“Can you not do that while you’re driving?” Liv asked.
