Publisher Description
From No.1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Kate comes the perfect New York-set, enemies-to-lovers romance, perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Kate Clayborn and Nora Ephron!
One summer to write the biggest love story of the year . . .
But will it be theirs?
Noa Calloway is THE bestselling author of sweeping love stories. Love stories that careful editor Lanie has shaped her life around. Noa's writing makes her feel seen and understood like nothing else.
So she's more than a little shocked to find out that her beloved, reclusive, author is actually Noah Ross - a distractingly handsome man - and not at all the glamorous middle-aged woman she'd imagined.
Even worse - Noah has writer's block. With her job on the line, Lanie has to work with him to spark the crucial inspiration Noah needs to write his next heart-stopping romance.
Yet as they show each other all their favourite spots in New York City - Lanie can't help but wonder if the man by her side, and the author that stole her heart, might actually not be so different after all . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kate (The Orphan's Song) delivers a delightful rom-com that begs to be devoured in one sitting. Lanie Bloom comes from a family of doctors and always intended to follow in their footsteps—until she fell in love with romance novels in college. Lanie ditched pre-med to pursue a career in New York City publishing, eventually becoming the editor of one of romance's biggest names, Noa Callaway. Though she's never met the mysterious author in person, they've worked together via email for years, and Lanie's always been a fan, even creating a list of aspirational qualities for her perfect partner based on one of Noa's first books. When Noa admits to writer's block, Lanie's job rides on getting the next bestseller produced, and she'll stop at nothing to generate inspiration—leading to their first IRL meeting and a reveal that shakes Lanie to her core. Most readers won't be surprised to discover the reason Noa is so reclusive, but this doesn't take away from enjoying the slow burning central relationship. Kate surrounds both Noa and Lanie with well-drawn friends and family who add welcome backstory and create a sense that these are two people with full lives outside of each other meeting in the middle. The result is both smart and adorable.
