Maynard and Jennica! That's absolutely it! I don't know how you came up with it, but thank you, thank you, thank you!
Next task: figuring out how to move this thread into the "solved" folder from my phone :)

The cover looks very similar to the white cover for "Eleanor & Park"--so much so that when I saw Eleanor and Park, I thought it was the same book. (White background with lots of negative space.) The title was also of the same format: "[First name] and [First name]." However, when I read E&P, it was clear that it wasn't the same book.
It's a modern-day setting. I specifically remember subway scenes in NYC with young working professionals traveling to work, the female protagonist fitting in that group, working for some large corporate office. (The male also could, but I can't remember for sure.) The main characters I believe develop a romance (though I don't know how it ended--I never finished it!).
I don't know why this is driving me nuts, but IT IS. I've spent hours searching through Goodreads lists and on Google, but I can't figure it out, and at this point, my brain won't let me rest until the mystery is solved. Please let me know if you can help! Thanks!
