What happens when your love life becomes the talk of the town?
As birthdays go, this year Everly Dean has hit rock bottom.
If catching her boyfriend cheating with his assistant wasn't enough, Everly's rant about Simon the Snake, a.k.a. Cheating Ex, accidentally being broadcast live on the radio really sealed the deal...
When public humiliation turns her into a viral sensation with a string of potential dates, and suddenly there's some serious chemistry with her cute but until now distant boss Chris, Everly - the woman who could win a gold medal in people-avoidance - is going to have to dig deep.
They say fake it till you make it, and Everly's making a list: The Ten Rules for Faking It.
Because sometimes making the rules can find you happiness when you least expect it.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The clever premise of Sullivan's debut falls flat in execution. On radio producer Everly Dean's 30th birthday, she catches her boyfriend in bed with another woman and accidentally rants about it live on air. When the station owner hears her meltdown, he moves to replace Everly, but station manager Chris Jansen, who has a crush on Everly, proposes a wild idea to save her job. Everly's tirade got listeners invested in her love life, so Chris pitches a show in which Everly will find a new boyfriend by dating listener-nominated men and recapping her dates on air. Everly's attraction to Chris turns into real feelings after he matter-of-factly takes her anxiety disorder into account in planning the show, but his role as her boss gives her pause. Readers will share her reservations, as, though Sullivan attempts to update the workplace romance trope for the modern age, Chris's handsy jealousy over Everly's dates screams for an HR intervention. The dates themselves are fun but repetitive, and aggravating detours into the relationship struggles of Everly's immature parents slow down the otherwise zippy rom-com plot. Die-hard fans of The Bachelorette will enjoy this novelistic take on the theme, but others may want to give it a miss.
