Once Juniper's life was filled with magic. Little things went right – and sometimes big ones, like that enchanted night at college when she found herself playing Juliet opposite her secret crush James as Romeo.
But then her mother died, and Juniper's world has grown cold. After misguidedly selling the rights to her growing podcast, she finds herself back in her hometown, in her old bedroom, with no job in sight. When a mysterious email invites her to audition for a starring role in the audio drama adaptation of The Meadow, the beloved, bestselling vampire romance of her teenage years, it's the opportunity of a lifetime.
Or it seems to be, until she learns that it all hinges on her co-star, James from college, now on the cusp of breaking through as one of Hollywood's leading actors. He broke her heart ten years ago; can she trust him now?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This charming second-chance romance from Schumacher (In the Orbit of You) finds 32-year-old Juniper Green miserable after her popular podcast is purchased by a company that promptly fires her once the ink is dry. Now she's living with her father and trying to figure out her next career move. When she's asked to audition for a full cast audiobook version of megapopular YA paranormal romance The Meadow (think Twilight), she comes face-to-face with James Neely, a college acquaintance who once played Romeo to her Juliet. James, now a bona fide Hollywood star, will be voicing the story's vampire hero, William. Juniper gets the role as his love interest—a part that William soon asks her to play IRL as well, hoping that if they stage a relationship, his management will stop setting him up with starlets to boost his career. The audiobook production and frequent Twilight Easter eggs make for a fun background to this fake-dating plot. Abundant humor and a quirky supporting cast—including Juniper's cowboy father—add to the entertainment. Schumacher makes this sing.
