Mazey Eddings… excuse me… what did you put in this book because I was unwell, unhinged, and absolutely obsessed.
Massive thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for sliding this chaos my way early. Y’all really said “here, ruin your sleep schedule,” and I did.
So, here we go: Eva Kitt thought she’d be out there doing Pulitzer-level journalism, but instead? She’s hosting Sausage Talk – yes, literally interviewing washed-up celebs while holding a lukewarm hot dog. Then she “accidentally” (aka drunkenly) drags her college ex… and the internet eats it up. And who is that ex? Oh, just Rylie Cooper – Mr. Internet Heartthrob, rebranded king of “toxic men, begone.”
Cue a public “redemption arc” scheme where he takes Eva on dates to prove he’s changed. She’s determined to tank his reputation harder than a gas station hot dog at 3am… but then, inconveniently, he starts being hot and actually nice. Rude.
Tropes/vibes (aka the chaos checklist):
* Second chance romance, but with side-eye and sass
* Internet drama we’d all hate IRL but love in a book
* A heroine who could verbally body-slam you and look good doing it
* A reformed ex-boyfriend who is suddenly… kinda irresistible??
* Hot dogs. So many hot dogs.
