Love is an Open Book: A Fun and Flirty Friends-to-Lovers Summer Read Between a Bestselling Author and Her Best Friend Testing All the Romance Tropes

"Blumberg makes the will-they-won't-they dance believable and exciting with sexy banter and plenty of humor throughout." -Publishers Weekly

Blurring the line between fiction and reality...

Mia Brady never imagined her romance novels would become bestsellers, much less inspire a hit TV show. However, after signing a deal to write the final book of the series, she's struck by a serious case of writer's block. Her fans are clamoring for a passionate payoff, but Mia's own experience with heartbreak-and current lack of real-life romance-is getting in the way. Do friends who become lovers ever truly have a happy ending?

Gavin Lane would like to think so. As Mia's ride-or-die BFF, he's been by her side through it all and convinced himself his crush on her is a thing of the past. He's not about to let his feelings ruin their friendship, and never will. But things get complicated when Mia pitches a bold idea to help save her career: testing out tried-and-true love story tropes...together.

From workplace romance to fish-out-of-water, Mia and Gavin embark on a series of "experiments" to spark a little creativity-but they are not prepared for the flame that ignites between them. Does their friendship even stand a chance when pure fantasy suddenly becomes a little too real?
