A Witty, Heartfelt, & Modern Love Story

Ghosting

With wit, humor, and a delightfully fresh voice, from the inimitable duo Tash Skilton, author of Ghosting: A Love Story, comes this friends-to-lovers rom-com that explores the hilarious highs and lows of adulting, Hollywood, and what happens when BFFs are forced to take a hard second look at their favorite fandoms—and at each other. ONE PERECT FRIENDSHIP—ABRUPTLY CANCELED All through college, Nina and Sebastian were sentence-finishing, secret-sharing BFFs, and absolute super fans of Castles of Rust and Bone. It was the kind of show—and the kind of friendship—that demands you’re all in, for the plot twists, the unresolved sexual tension, the weekly coup d’etat—and ultimately, the heartbreak. At least until the big cliffhanger . . . But when Castles’ season finale turned into the unceremoniously axed show’s awkward farewell, Nina and Sebastian’s friendship ended just as suddenly—and just as awkwardly. And Sebastian’s longed-for chance to woo Nina into something more than friendship was written out of their story. In Hollywood, there’s always a comeback. Five years later, Nina and Sebastian are living their best lives in L.A.—and Castles is being rebooted. Nina’s a social media coordinator for the streaming service that will air the show, and Sebastian is a PA for the production company. What could be more perfect? How about running into each other on set . . . ? Fingers crossed for a happy ending . . . Turns out even the most dedicated fans are due for a wake-up call when they get to peek behind-the-scenes. And suddenly Nina and Sebastian are remembering when they were super fans of each other instead. Will flipping the script from buddy comedy to real romance ruin everything—or deliver the happily-ever-after they both crave?

Ils écrivent des mots d’amour tout en se fusillant du regard Tel Cyrano, Miles exerce le métier de doublure amoureuse : sur les sites de rencontre, ses clients lui laissent carte blanche pour tenter de séduire leur crush. Ces derniers temps, il a pourtant du mal à jouer les romantiques. Largué par son ex, viré de son appartement, il en est réduit à travailler au café du coin et à se disputer une place avec une cliente odieuse. Son quotidien reprend des couleurs lorsque, sous le profil de son client Jude, il fait la connaissance de Bree, une fille dont la repartie le charme aussitôt... Zoey déteste New York. Elle était venue dans cette ville hostile pour devenir scénariste, mais pour l’instant elle doit se contenter de prêter sa plume aux adeptes du dating en ligne. Le tout dans un café exigu, où un mufle cherche sans cesse à lui piquer sa place. Esseulée, elle se surprend à attendre jour après jour les réponses de Jude, un célibataire plein d’humour avec qui elle échange en ligne, à travers le profil d’une cliente... Lorsqu’un premier rendez-vous se profile, la réalité les rattrape... “A travers cette romance, l’autrice nous fait franchement rire et nous offre un couple adorable.

Le petit café des grands romantiques

Miles está de rastos. Desde que foi abandonado pela noiva, não só anda a dormir de sofá em sofá por toda a cidade de Nova Iorque, como se vê obrigado a trabalhar num café para ter Wi-Fi gratuita. Ah, e deixou de acreditar no amor, o que não é nada bom para quem trabalha como escritor-fantasma num site de encontros amorosos. Por seu lado, Zoey acaba de chegar a Nova Iorque vinda de Los Angeles. Mas, apesar do seu ar tremendamente cool, ela sofre de ansiedade, a ponto de não se atrever a abandonar o café onde passa o dia a trabalhar e aventurar-se na cidade. Só que no Café Crudite o espaço é limitado, e os biscotti também. Miles e Zoey depressa percebem que estão a lutar pelo mesmo lugar... e pelo mesmos biscotti. A antipatia é mútua mas a proximidade é inevitável. O que eles não sabem é que desempenham as mesmas funções em empresas rivais. E que apesar de acharem que não têm nada em comum, quando se conhecem de forma anónima online, a química entre ambos é incrível. Porém, à medida que os sentimentos se vão intensificando no plano virtual, começam a surgir as complicações. Será que a atração que tanto fervilha no ecrã tem força para sobreviver no mundo real?
