About the Book



"A secret crush leads to a not-so-secret romance in this delightful romantic comedy from Kris Ripper"--



Book Synopsis



"This is a delight." --Publishers Weekly on The Hate Project

A secret crush leads to a not-so-secret romance in this delightful romantic comedy from Kris Ripper

There are three things you need to know about Preston "PK" Harrington the third:
  1. He's a writer, toiling in obscurity as an editorial assistant at a New York City publishing house.
  2. He is not a cliché. No, really.
  3. He's been secretly in love with his best friend, Art, since they once drunkenly kissed in college.
When Art moves in with PK following a bad breakup, PK hopes this will be the moment when Art finally sees him as more than a friend. But Art seems to laugh off the very idea of them in a relationship, so PK returns to his writing roots--in fiction, he can say all the things he can't say out loud.

In his book, PK can be the perfect boyfriend.

Before long, it seems like the whole world has a crush on the fictionalized version of him, including Art, who has no idea that the hot new book everyone's talking about is PK's story. But when his brilliant plan to win Art over backfires, PK might lose not just his fantasy book boyfriend, but his best friend.

Carina Adores is home to romantic love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.

Unique story

3 out of 5 stars
Rhi - 2 years ago
First person POV; Gay, NB, Pan, and Neurodivergent Representation Let me start off by saying that I didn’t find this to be a romcom as I expected, it was more of contemporary fiction with a dash of no steam romance. I thought that this is a unique story told from the inner workings/POV of a neurodivergent. While I appreciated the unique voice of PK, at times I felt that his repetitiveness & squirreling were a bit distracting, especially at the beginning of the book. It wasn’t until about half way through that I really became invested in the characters & storyline. Since most of this book takes place within PK’s head, we didn’t get to know much about Arty or the other characters, outside of what PK thought of them. I think that some readers will LOVE this uniqueness that this book has to offer, while others might struggle with it. Overall, I thought that it was a unique story and I was glad that I pushed through the beginning portion. Thank you @harlequinpublicityteam for this gifted copy. This opinion is my own.
