“
— William • An Unlikely Storyis a compelling novel that, at first, appears to be a rom-com about two Black actors who hate each other being teamed up in a new remake of Say Anything Then, it deep dives into childhood trauma and how it can psychologically harm you for the rest of your life...this time detailing the way young children are treated in Hollywood. Think of Corey Haim. It gets pretty dark, but it still manages to follow the typical beats of an opposites-attract romance. The characters are well drawn, and I enjoyed the bits of fan fiction and gossip tabloid journalism thrown in to demonstrate how people are often demonized or idol-worshipped on the internet when we do not know these people at all. A smart end-of-summer read! The audiobook features great readers for different parts and a nice use of sound effects.”
The National Book Award-winning author of Felix Ever After delivers a beautifully tender story of two grumpy/sunshine, fake-dating actors navigating their love story both on and offscreen—perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Alexis Hall.
Logan Gray is Hollywood's bad boy—a talented but troubled actor who the public loves to hate. Mattie Cole is an up‑and‑coming golden boy, adored by all but plagued by insecurities.
When Logan and Mattie are cast as leads in a new romantic film, Logan claims that Matt has “zero talent,” sending the film’s publicity into a nosedive. To create positive buzz, the two are persuaded into a fake‑dating scheme—but as the two actors get to know their new characters, real feelings start to develop.
As public scrutiny intensifies and old wounds resurface, the two must fight for their relationship and their love.
A heartfelt, hopeful, and nuanced story about identity, healing, and growth.
