EXCLUSIVE: Minnie Mills, star of the Amazon YA series The summer I got prettymoves to the audio world.
Mills stars Break up with him!an audio rom-com series by Meet Cute.
She plays Ruby, who is an averagely jaded sophomore by day, but by night is “Venus,” anonymous campus radio’s relationship expert who counsels lovesick students. That evening, when Ruby’s boss tells her he’s replacing her with an a cappella lesson because Venus “has no control,” Ruby tells the caller to drop her boyfriend.
Made an impact: The next morning, campus queen Bee Paige left high school friend and a cappella colleague Parker. Parker, deranged with grief, decides to track down Venus and uncover her true identity, and he knows exactly where to turn for help: resident nerd and big nobody, Ruby. She’s that investigative journalism-majored geek, right? Ruby agrees to help – what better way to steer Parker off the trail of Venus…or does Ruby nurture something more for the heartthrob on campus?
