Publisher Description
A romance writer’s wildest dreams—the bestseller list, a movie deal, and a date with the real-life inspiration for her Hollywood hero—are all within her grasp if only she can hold it all together.
Author Emmy Ellison is a sucker for a page-turning happy ending, but she’s no longer counting on one for herself. If she stays focused on her career goals instead of her love life, she just might find success. And now that her latest novel is about to become a movie, she’s determined to become the latest social media sensation.
When her secret celebrity crush (the real-life inspiration for her romantic hero) accepts the starring role in the big-screen adaptation of her book, she’s determined to team up with a fake dating scheme—now that he’s in need of some good PR of his own. Ideally, she can ride the wave of popularity all the way to the top of the bestseller lists. But when the harsh spotlight of fame exposes the truth, will they try to turn their on-camera chemistry into a real-life relationship?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Swift delights in her debut rom-com. Thirteen years after Emmy Ellison's Hollywood dreams were crushed, she goes viral by creating a poll asking readers which famous heartthrob they think inspired the hunky hero of her debut romance novel. She's catapulted to bestseller status and a film adaptation of Hashtag Celebrity Crush is fast-tracked. When the studio agrees to cast the muse in question—Jason Connor—as leading man and Emmy gets to meet him, she's living her wildest fantasies. Jason's reputation is in shambles following a messy breakup, and he needs this project to rehabilitate his public image. As he and Emmy embark on a press tour together, both of their stars rise and they grow close. But Emmy can't bring herself to reveal to Jason—who has yet to read the book or the entire script—that she drew from some of the most painful moments of his life for her story. When he finds out, it could keep them from their Hollywood ending. Swift leans into the wish-fulfillment of her premise, giving readers a glamorous peek into the celebrity lifestyle. Readers will root for Emmy as she travels the path from obscurity to fame and swoon over Jason's "Hugh Jackman–like" charm and desire to be seen for more than his on-screen persona. This is sure to win fans.
