"Falon Ballard is one of my favorite romance literary discoveries of 2023! Just My Type is a modern spin on How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, in which high school exes Lana and Seth pine after the same promotion at the expense of their dating life.” —Scary Mommy

“[A] charming ode to writers’ passion and love.” –PopSugar

“A modern-day retelling of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” –Scary Mommy

“Seth and Lana have instant chemistry on the page, and it’s a joy to read their snarky banter that transforms into something more heartfelt. Their longing for each other, and the obstacles in their way, feel realistic. Ballard also creates a warm and witty friend group for Lana that adds plenty of comic relief. A compulsively readable second-chance romance that’s full of pining and laughs.” –Kirkus Reviews

“This entertaining rom-com from Ballard…refreshingly sees both protagonists undergoing therapy for their respective issues while reassessing their personal and professional goals, is one of healing and emotional growth as much as romance.” –Publishers Weekly
 
“A clever, upbeat rom-com that will leave a smile on readers’ faces and joy in their hearts….A great showcase for Ballard’s talents: Her voice is fresh and flirty, her characters well developed (Lana’s unfailingly loyal, foulmouthed friend May is the kind of person we all need in our lives), and her pacing brisk and never boring. Romance readers—of all types—will be immensely entertained.” –BookPage
