yearning questionable decisions and that glorious HEA. A tender funny sexy novel.” — Ashley
Herring Blake author of Delilah Green Doesn't Care In this charming debut rom-com a young
freelancer returns to her suburban hometown to uncover why her childhood next door neighbor’s
bestselling book appears to be an epic love story about the two of them. When MC Calloway’s
best friend Joe an editor at the notorious gossip website Jawbreaker calls her in for an
emergency meeting MC is unprepared for how frantic he is. But when he shows her a copy of Girl
Next Door the steamy bestselling rom-com taking the literary world by storm written under a
pen name points to one of the women on the front cover and says “that's you ” its MC who
begins to panic. Joe is convinced that the author is Nora Pike MC's prickly childhood
next-door neighbor and their former high school classmate – and MC knows he’s right since the
book describes actual events that happened their senior year down to the tiniest details. But
in the book the characters based on MC and Nora are desperately in love rather than the
awkward acquaintances MC remembers being in real life. Joe begs MC to go home undercover and
get the scoop on Nora. That’s the last thing MC wants to do especially for an assignment that
seems morally dubious at best but she reluctantly agrees knowing Joe is desperate to break a
big story. Crashing in her childhood home with her older brother Conrad (now married to MC's
secret high school crush Gabby) MC begins untangling truth from fiction trying to get close
to Nora who is just as hot and prickly as ever – and now suspicious of MC to boot. But the
more involved she gets with Nora the more it becomes clear they’re both hiding secrets . . .
and MC realizes she might be in over her head. Perfect for readers of Delilah Green Doesn't
Care and Book Lovers Girl Next Door is a delicious debut brimming with romance humor and
heart.
