Bookseller recommendation

“A disastrous blind date leads to a fake relationship between a free-spirited, astrology-loving astronomer and an analytical and skeptical actuary. With major Pride and Prejudice vibes, you are going to fall in love with Elle and Darcy!”
— Amy • Auburn Oil Co. Booksellers

Bookseller recommendation

“This fake-dating, opposites-attract romance is simply perfect. A social media astrologer is set up with her new business partner’s actuary sister. While the date goes terribly, how helpful it would be for both of them to have a date for certain upcoming events. The two leads are wonderful, flawed women with their own baggage and hang-ups (hello, family drama!), and it’s a joy to watch them fall in love with each other in spite of everything.”
— Lexi Beach • Astoria Bookshop

Bookseller recommendation

“Take two opposites: Elle, a bright, optimistic social media astrologer and Darcy, a cynical, no-nonsense insurance actuary. Elle is avidly looking for her soulmate, while Darcy, who has been badly burned by love, doesn't know if she believes in soulmates anymore. Add a disastrous first date, a meddling brother, a disapproving family dynamic, and a fake dating plot. And what do you have? All the makings of a really amusing love story. This is my favorite of the series, an easy delightful read!”
— Zinna • A Great Good Place for Books

Summary
About the author

#50 in Bestselling LGBTQIA+ Fiction Audiobooks

""I was hooked from the very first page!” – Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of In a Holidaze

""This book is a delight."" – New York Times Book Review

A National Bestseller and winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Romance! Featured on Shondaland, Oprah Mag, Bustle, The New York Times Book Review, Buzzfeed, POPSUGAR, Entertainment Weekly, Washington Post, NPR, Culturess, Vulture, and more. Named one of the Best Romances of 2020 by Washington Post, Bustle, and Buzzfeed!

With nods to Bridget Jones and Pride & Prejudice, this debut is a delightful queer rom-com about a free-spirited social media astrologer who agrees to fake a relationship with a grumpy actuary until New Year’s Eve—with results not even the stars could predict!

After a disastrous blind date, Darcy Lowell is desperate to stop her well-meaning brother from playing matchmaker ever again. Love—and the inevitable heartbreak—is the last thing she wants. So she fibs and says her latest set up was a success. Darcy doesn’t expect her lie to bite her in the ass.

Elle Jones, one of the astrologers behind the popular Twitter account Oh My Stars, dreams of finding her soul mate. But she knows it is most assuredly not Darcy... a no-nonsense stick-in-the-mud, who is way too analytical, punctual, and skeptical for someone as free-spirited as Elle. When Darcy’s brother—and Elle's new business partner—expresses how happy he is that they hit it off, Elle is baffled. Was Darcy on the same date? Because... awkward.

Darcy begs Elle to play along and she agrees to pretend they’re dating. But with a few conditions: Darcy must help Elle navigate her own overbearing family during the holidays and their arrangement expires on New Year’s Eve. The last thing they expect is to develop real feelings during a faux relationship. But maybe opposites can attract when true love is written in the stars?
