A BEST BOOK PICK BY * HARPER’S BAZAAR * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“Will sweep you off your feet.” —PopSugar
In this witty and heartwarming romantic comedy—for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and Heated Rivalry—an awkward tech wunderkind on a reality dating show goes off-script when sparks fly with his producer.
Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it’s no wonder then that he’s spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise’s history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star.
Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesn’t believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, he’s a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date twenty women on national television. Behind the scenes, he’s cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off.
As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they’ll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.

Avis de la critique
"Adam depicts Dev as a mix of dreamy and dramatic, showing his idealistic side and his love for the show. Adam’s flowing narration smooths out the author’s occasional didacticism. Halstead voices Charlie Winshaw, the show’s star and a tech genius who suffers from OCD and generalized anxiety. Halstead accurately represents Charlie’s stilted TV performance, hesitant speech, and withdrawn manner. Cassandra Campbell delivers the daily script updates, her voice creating needed contrast among the sections. With meticulous attention to Dev and Charlie’s singular romance, Adam and Halstead paint a lively picture of reality TV."
I haven't read a lot of books about queer characters that also depict mental illness realistically. It is explored in depth here and that may sound dark, the book always manages to give you hope throughout the hard parts. I saw myself reflected in the amazingly diverse queer cast (incredible asexual representation!!) and their struggles and cried a fair bit too.
Altough it is a romcom, the book portrays the hard sides of love realistically and teaches you to love yourself and that you are deserving of love when you are mentally ill.
A must-read

I listened to this story over the last three days, and I am so in love!! The story itself is amazing and the writing is incredible. The author did such a great job addressing mental health issues, and describing Charlie's panic attacks... It's a emotional Rollercoaster - a love story with exactly the right amount of angst!
It would make for an incredible movie 😍
Love it !!
