“Poignant, funny, and bingeable, Annabel Monaghan writes five star reads.” —Abby Jimenez
From the USA Today bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script, a novel about a former adolescent TV actress-turned-Hollywood producer whose “fake it till you make it” mantra sets her on a crash course with her past, forcing her to spend a week on Long Island with the last man she thinks might make her believe in love.
Love is a lie. Laughter is the only truth.
Jane Jackson spent her adolescence as "Poor Janey Jakes," the barbecue-sauce-in-her-braces punch line on America's fifth-favorite sitcom. Now she’s trying to be taken seriously as a Hollywood studio executive by embracing a new mantra: Fake it till you make it.
Except she might have faked it too far. Desperate to get her first project greenlit and riled up by pompous cinematographer and one-time crush Dan Finnegan, she claimed that she could get mega popstar Jack Quinlan to write a song for the movie. Jack may have been her first kiss—and greatest source of shame—but she hasn’t spoken to him in twenty years.
Now Jane must turn to the last man she’d ever want to owe: Dan Finnegan. Because Jack is playing a festival in Dan’s hometown, and Dan has an in. A week in close quarters with Dan as she faces down her past is Jane's idea of hell, but he just might surprise her. While covering up her lie, can they find something true?

      Jane Jackson is still figuring out life after being pigeonholed as the wacky sidekick child actor on a 1990s sitcom. Her current job as creative executive involves scouring scripts and pitching movies while trying to avoid clich�, explosion-filled action blockbusters, but she still has not pitched a successful script. Jane has a passion project she's hoping to make work, but it is vetoed by the studio's new, infuriating principal cinematographer, Dan Finnegan. In her attempt to get Dan to reconsider, Jane inadvertently name-drops megastar Jack Quinlan, her former sitcom costar and crush--and now Dan wants to cast him. The last thing Jane wants to do is grovel to Jack, with whom she parted on embarrassing terms, but he's playing a music festival near Dan's family home in Long Island, and this could be her only chance to get the movie greenlit. She'll just need to finagle a face-to-face meeting with Jack while enduring a week with Dan, who may be more than she expected. While the main characters fall in love quickly, there is satisfying depth to the story, with themes of family baggage, abandonment, and low self-esteem. VERDICT Monaghan (Summer Romance) writes another charming rom-com, this time with enemies-to-lovers and forced-proximity tropes. Monaghan fans will not be disappointed.--Nicole J. Suarez
