Fans of Elise Bryant and Rachel Lynn Solomon will swoon for Last Chance Books author Kelsey Rodkey’s next romance, packed with snark, banter, and inconvenient crushes.
Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling.
Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle? Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend’s ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy—why is he always around?—turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams?
Saine hates to admit it, but she’d watch that movie.
There’s something about Holden that makes her feel like she’s the one in front of the camera—like he can see every uncomfortable truth she’s buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story’s supposed to go. So why does every moment with Holden seem intent on changing the ending?
- Childhood Friends to Enemies to Lovers: He was her first friend, her first crush, and the first boy to break her heart. Now he’s back, and Saine would rather get zero stars than replay that scene.
- Forced Proximity: When her documentary subject bails, Saine has no choice but to team up with Holden for her film school application. Working this closely is a special kind of torture—and she’s starting to like it.
- Witty Banter: Fueled by the sharp, laugh-out-loud dialogue and snarky comebacks that make a romcom impossible to put down.
- Best Friend’s Ex: There’s only one problem bigger than falling for Holden all over again: he’s the one guy her best friend, Corrine, has declared completely off-limits.
