Enemies. Coworkers. Accidental Icons.

Dr. Ben Song likes his life orderly, predictable, and blissfully private. By day, he’s a forensic anthropologist running a controversial research project. By night, he’s the anonymous author of a bestselling cozy mystery series. What he absolutely doesn’t need? One viral moment turning him into the internet’s new favorite grumpy heartthrob.

Lauren Wei has built her career in the spotlight—and paid for it. A former teen star turned serious filmmaker, she’s determined to prove she’s more than her past persona. With her first feature film about to premiere and a press tour that could make or break her future, she can’t afford distractions. Especially not the brilliant, infuriating author whose book she adapted…and whose visibly unimpressed reaction to her movie just made him a viral meme.

When the studio forces Ben and Lauren to share the press circuit to capitalize on the moment, sparks fly. But between industry politics, public scrutiny, and a growing sense they might actually be perfectly imperfect for each other after all, their reluctant partnership soon turns into something far more complicated....

Editorial Review

Can they Just Kiss Already?
Lily Chu is an auto-buy author for me, and this story is exactly why. Dr. Ben Song prefers research labs and anonymity. Lauren Wei has spent her life in the spotlight and is determined to control her own life for once. When Ben’s unimpressed reaction to Lauren’s film adaptation of his book turns him into the internet’s newest grumpy meme, the studio forces them onto a joint press tour to capitalize on the moment. What follows is sharp banter and the kind of tension that fits the title of this story perfectly. Phillipa Soo, Chu’s longtime narrator, is joined by former One True Loves’ co-star Simu Liu for a duet performance that is HOT! — Patty R., Audible Editor

Fun story that is well paced and with great performances. The romance was sweet with some longing and not too many twists and turns.
