Love and Other Side Effects - by Deidra Duncan (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"Compulsively readable."--JULIE SOTO, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Love Sick

Friendship like this should come with a warning label...
Asher Foley is an imposter--at least, that's how it feels. The letters "MD" after his name should mean he's confident, respected, put-together. Instead, he still feels like the class clown pretending to be a grown-up doctor.

Jocelyn Maddox is a paradox--warm, fearless, but utterly closed off. She's lost too much already--family, love, home--and she's not about to gamble her heart again. As an anesthesiologist, she'll fix everyone else's pain and refuses to feel her own. It makes Asher, her flirty best friend-slash-work husband, perfectly safe. Right?

When a surgical complication forces Asher to drop the mask and show her the man underneath, Jocelyn sees more than the jokes and easy smiles. She sees him. And suddenly, the walls she's built to survive begin to crack--one look, one laugh, one heartbeat at a time.

"Heartfelt and smart, Love Sick is just what the doctor ordered."--Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of The Breakup Tour

Grey's Anatomy meets The Love Hypothesis in this delicious, laugh out loud rom-com set in the world of a tight-knit group of OB-GYN residents--written by a practicing physician.

Perfect for fans of:

• Workplace Besties to Lovers
• Close Proximity
• Medical drama from a real doctor
• Netflix's Pulse meets Scrubs

"Love and Other Side Effects is as addictive as any drug--once you pick it up you won't want to put it down!
