About this listen

When a famous former child actress meets a tender masc West Village bookseller, sparks fly and complications ensue in this queer homage to Notting Hill by the author of Just as You Are.

Katrina Kelly is a former child star with five blockbuster movies under her belt and a face that's instantly recognizable to most of America. Unfortunately, her career ended with her teens. Now she's twenty-four, running out of money, and spends most of her nights alone Googling things like 'how do I know if I'm bi or gay?' She's desperate to rebrand herself as a Serious Adult Actress and restart her career—at any cost.

Jude Thacker, a butch bookseller at The Next Chapter, doesn't want to admit she might be stuck. After all, she's running the queer feminist bookstore of her dreams with a staff of chosen family. Sure, she hasn't even tried to go on a first date in two years. And she may have a tiny problem with panic attacks. But as long as her life stays small and tidy, she's fine.

When Kat and Jude meet in the bookstore, Kat realizes that coming out as queer is the perfect way to transform her image. She and Jude can date for a few weeks, cause a media firestorm, and then Kat will move on. But what's meant as a temporary publicity stunt quickly turns into real feelings for both women. As the media scrutiny intensifies, each must decide what's real, what's not, and if true love is worth losing everything they believe is keeping them safe.
