Book Synopsis
"Poignant, funny, and bingeable, Annabel Monaghan writes five star reads." --Abby Jimenez From the USA Today bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script, a novel about a former adolescent TV punch line who has left her awkwardness in the rearview mirror thanks to a fake-it-till-you-make-it mantra that has her on the cusp of success, until she tells a lie that sets her on a crash course with her past, spending a week on Long Island with the last man she thinks might make her believe in love. Love is a lie. Laughter is the only truth. Jane Jackson spent her adolescence as "Poor Janey Jakes," the barbecue-sauce-in-her-braces punch line on America's fifth-favorite sitcom. Now she's trying to be taken seriously as a Hollywood studio executive by embracing a new mantra: Fake it till you make it. Except she might have faked it too far. Desperate to get her first project greenlit and riled up by pompous cinematographer and one-time crush Dan Finnegan, she claimed that she could get mega popstar Jack Quinlan to write a song for the movie. Jack may have been her first kiss--and greatest source of shame--but she hasn't spoken to him in twenty years. Now Jane must turn to the last man she'd ever want to owe: Dan Finnegan. Because Jack is playing a festival in Dan's hometown, and Dan has an in. A week in close quarters with Dan as she faces down her past is Jane's idea of hell, but he just might surprise her. While covering up her lie, can they find something true?Review Quotes

Whew! What did I just read?! It was amazing, fantastic, and made me feel all the feels. I thought Jane was going to come off as annoying but I loved her. She had some bumps in her life but she was so lovable in how she was dealing with them and my heart hurt for her. And can we talk about her best friend Clem?! She is like the girls guide to how a best friend should be. I loved her. The romance was spot on and I loved the banter back and forth from Jane and Dan from the beginning. Definitely a top read for 2025. Cannot wait for the next book from this author. I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
Entertaining Read!

Jane Jackson, a former childhood actor, is now trying to make it big with her movie script! She has been trying for 2 years! With some skepticism about her script, Jane is so desperate, she lies and says she could get a famous singer to be part of the soundtrack if her script is chosen. But will she? Can she finally get the success she is looking for? I love how Annabel Monaghan’s writing just draws you into an entertaining and enjoyable story with laugh-out-loud and heartfelt moments. Annabel captures the emotions and stresses of everyday life that evolve around work, relationships, family and friendships. This book will have you turning the pages to see if Jane can find the success she is looking for! A heartfelt, fun and entertaining read that leaves you feeling satisfied in the end! A great book to take on vacation or to read by the pool!
