Campbell St. Clair never expected her first novel to catapult her to success. She should be excited that she'll be consulting on the movie adaptation, but she's struggling. Her ability to write her newest novel has been practically non-existent, she's all but given up on having a social life, and with the recent loss of her father, she's trying to understand what she wants for her future.
Sloane Murphy's career has been careening forward for the last decade, so it doesn't matter that she doesn't like being an actress. The movie is a great opportunity for her, and in spite of her ambivalence, the show must go on. She's done this enough times that she just needs to follow the script and hit her lines. But she wasn't expecting to see Campbell St. Clair, at least that's what she goes by now, on set, and her presence sends Sloane's already precarious life into a tailspin when their paths collide again.
Neither are the same people they were when they'd met in college, but do either of them know who they are now? In a world of playing pretend, it's hard to know what's real, even if it's right in front of them.

"If misunderstandings are your jam, ignore my 4??/5 rating and enjoy this audiobook. I always appreciate McCallan's writing style and characters. But I admit, the combination of "taciturn and anxious-avoidant" plus "grumpy and fearful-avoidant" and the lack of open communication was just a tad much for me in this book (as realistic as it may be). Having said that, even a not-my-jam McCallan book is still a solid book. As always, Lori Prince does an excellent job conveying the emotional range of the characters. Sex: a few mild soft-R scenes.
