Plot Twist

“I give it five stars—and five chili pepper emojis.” —Kate Spencer, author of In a New York Minute

She’s written off more than she can chew…

Romance author Sophie Lyon’s ironic secret just went viral: she’s never been in love—and it’s ruining her reputation. With a manuscript deadline looming, Sophie makes an ambitious plan to overcome her writer’s block: reunite with her exes (including her last girlfriend Carla, the one person she could have loved) to learn why she’s never fallen in love, and document it all for her millions of new online followers.

Luckily, Sophie’s reclusive landlord, Dash Montrose—a former teen heartthrob—has social media all figured out and is willing to help. What he doesn’t mention is that he’s an anonymous online crafter, a hobby that helps him maintain his sobriety. No one knows about his complicated relationship with alcohol, and with a family that’s Hollywood royalty, Dash has to steer clear of scandal.

As Sophie and Dash grow closer, they discover a heat between them that rivals Dash’s pottery kiln. But Sophie needs to figure out who she is outside her relationships, and Dash isn’t sure he’s stable enough for the commitment she deserves. So Sophie suggests what any good romance author would: a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Surely a strictly casual relationship won’t cause any trouble…

“Spicy. Sexy. Swoony. Rachel Lynn Solomon and Christina Lauren fans will love this story!” —Suzanne Park, author of So We Meet Again and The Do-Over

couldn't get into this book

I was having a hard time finishing it. Narration made it sound childhish, but even with that, the story took a while to swoop me. The end salvaged it though.

Wonderfully told

Love the narrative, which is energetic, tender and heartwarming. Loved this dynamic and carefully narrated book!

I want my time back.

This is written like a teenager would write about adult love. There's plot points that make no sense and only strive to try to create lackluster drama. When a serious concern is brought up its easily dismissed. Another point, if you're going to be worried about safe sex practices do it from the get go. I feel like people don't understand how STI's are transmitted and this is a great example of that.
I really only felt like the very end of the book was good and honestly I can't tell if I was just excited because it was almost over.
