About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

ONE STORY. TWO EXES. CAN THEY CHANGE THEIR ENDING?

Temi and Wale meet in London. They flirt, date, meet each other's friends.
Then they break up. And Wale goes on a reality dating show.

Instead of giving in to heartbreak, Temi throws herself into her dream: writing. She's within touching distance of a book deal that would solve all her problems. But publishers keep passing on her novel and bills still have to be paid. So, when the opportunity to ghost-write a celebrity autobiography arises, Temi accepts.

And, of course, the celebrity turns out to be Wale...

Will Temi and Wale repeat the patterns of their past? Or can they write a whole new story?

‘Such a fun, romantic read’ Beth O’Leary

Editorial Review

Perfect for fans of Love Island
Lizzie Damilola Blackburn burst onto the romance scene in 2022 with Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? , an unflinching portrayal of a young British-Nigerian woman on a journey to find a date in time for her cousin’s wedding. I’m thrilled that Lizzie is back with another fun, relatable rom-com. The Re-Write follows Temi, an aspiring writer hired to pen a memoir for her ex, who unceremoniously dumped her months before to star on a reality dating show called Love Villa. With themes of career and family pressure, peppered with nuances of British-Nigerian culture, this lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance also offers hilarious insights into what really goes on behind the scenes of reality-dating TV. Personalities, accents—both Nigerian and British—and humourous and serious situations are enhanced by narrator Faith Alabi’s confident yet thoughtful delivery. It was such a joy to witness Temi and Wade (re)write their own happily ever after in this refreshing take on second chances. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

Not my style

I didn’t enjoy this book. Maybe for younger generations. The language was too slang and the characters didn’t appeal to me
