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 with a brilliant concept. I loved seeing Wale open up and Temi build her confidence as their love story blossomed (Beth O'Leary, author of The Flatshare)

This book melted my stone cold heart (Jendella Benson, author of Hope and Glory)

A delightful romcom packed with humour and heart. With a deeply lovable cast of characters, irresistible chemistry and a page turning premise, this warm and witty novel is a wonderful celebration of love and storytelling (Rufaro Faith Mazarura, author of Let The Games Begin)
