ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES' BEST ROMANCES OF THE YEAR! "Intimate and unflinching."—New York Times A USA TODAY BESTSELLER! An Indie Next Pick A LibraryReads Hall of Fame Pick One of Amazon's Best Romances of July Named a Most Anticipated Summer Read by Buzzfeed, Glamour, Town & Country, BookRiot, and more! A ghostwriter and a struggling actor help each other on the page and in the bedroom in this steamy romantic comedy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Talk.
Chandler Cohen has never felt more like the ghost in "ghostwriter" until she attends a signing for a book she wrote—and the author doesn’t even recognize her. The evening turns more promising when she meets a charming man at the bar and immediately connects with him. But when all their sexual tension culminates in a spectacularly awkward hookup, she decides this is one night better off forgotten.
Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done. Her next project is ghostwriting a memoir for Finn Walsh, a C-list actor best known for playing a lovable nerd on a cult classic werewolf show who now makes a living appearing at fan conventions across the country. Chandler knows him better from their one-night stand of hilarious mishaps.
Chandler’s determined to keep their partnership as professional as possible, but when she admits to Finn their night together wasn’t as mind-blowing as he thought it was, he’s distraught. He intrigues her enough that they strike a deal: when they’re not working on his book, Chandler will school Finn in the art of satisfaction. As they grow closer both in and out of the bedroom, they must figure out which is more important, business or pleasure—or if there's a way for them to have both.

Extraits-
From the cover
"This book was a real labor of love,” says the woman seated behind a table of hardcovers sporting her makeup-free face, scrunched mid-yelp as she attempts to drink from a garden hose. “I can’t believe it’s something I can finally hold in my hands! And the cover’s not too bad, either.”
The audience laughs right on cue. In the back row, I can practically feel Noemie cringe beside me. “I’ve made bowls of cereal that were more a labor of love than the effort she put into that book,” she whispers.
She’s not wrong—I experienced it firsthand. Still, I give my cousin a nudge. “Be respectful.”
“I am. To the cereal.”
I press my lips together to keep from reacting and focus on the stage, where Maddy DeMarco commands the room with a warm, practiced confidence bordering on emotional manipulation. The bookstore is filled with just a fraction of her 1.6 million Instagram followers: mostly women, mostly white, mostly dressed in sustainable linen they bought using her discount code MADSAVINGS10. At first I thought it was a cult, and to be completely honest, I’m still not sure. Her brand of saccharine positivity doesn’t quite do it for me anymore—whenever I need self-love, it’s more likely to take shape as something handheld and battery-operated. Which Maddy has devoted tragic few (read: zero) social media posts to.
She’s built her career on empty affirmations and obvious advice. Case in point—the book is called Go Drink Some Water: A Guide to Self-Care, Self-Discovery, and Staying Thirsty.
“People often ask how I turned one viral post into a lifestyle brand,” Maddy says, crossing one linen-clad leg over the other. Her natural waves are shined to perfection with an expensive oil I’m ashamed to admit I tried before chopping my ash-blond hair into a pixie last year. “And the answer is simple: I don’t sleep.” This gets a few more laughs. A muted groan from Noemie. “No, I want to be real with you guys. I was one of those people who never had their shit together—wait, can I say that? Are there kids here?” She makes a show of squinting out at the audience before barreling onward. “I would get so stressed that I literally forgot to drink water! It wasn’t until I got so dehydrated that I ended up in the hospital that I realized I’d stopped doing things just for myself. I’m talking basic, keeping-yourself-functioning kind of things. Like drinking water. And I knew something needed to change.”
I wrote three chapters of her book on that hospital visit, poring over her Instagram to make sure I was capturing her voice. Every fourth comment swooned over how relatable she was—and this is someone who sells wall hangings that say live laugh girlboss.
All through the writing process, I tried to keep Maddy relatable: when she insisted on communicating with me only through her team, when that team sent me photos of notes she’d scrawled on compostable napkins, when she said the writing needed to feel a little earthier. I wanted to like her so badly, wanted to believe her posts were inspiring people to live their best and most carbon-neutral lives. Because the thing is, back before the book, I did like her. There was something both aspirational and authentic about her that had compelled me to hit “follow” a few years ago, long before the wall hangings and the constant #ads that clutter her feed these days.

A lackluster one-night stand becomes a ghostwriter's surprise next client in Solomon's (Weather Girl) latest contemporary romance. Chandler Cohen agrees to take on a C-list celebrity memoir client, Finn Walsh, despite their awkward mishaps in the bedroom. Together they hit the national comic-con circuit, where Finn connects with fans of his 2000s cult-favorite werewolf show. While on the road, Chandler admits her disappointment about their evening together and agrees to instruct Finn in the bedroom arts. As their connection grows deeper, they'll both have to determine if their arrangement is still strictly business. Chandler's first-person point of view recounts sensitive topics, including anxiety disorders, abortion, and antisemitism, but Solomon balances weightier passages with moments of levity throughout. Despite not having access to Finn's inner dialogue, readers will gain a full picture of him thanks to his years of therapy and earnest communication. VERDICT Sweet, steamy, and satisfying, this is sure to please readers.--Shanel Slater

Starred review from May 1, 2023 Solomon (Weather Girl) delights with this hot and heartfelt rom-com. Ghostwriter Chandler Cohen heads straight to the bar after suffering through a book party for the celebrity memoir bestseller that no one knows she wrote. She feels an instant zing of attraction with the stranger who plops down next to her and decides a quick hookup is just what she needs—leading to some truly awkward and uncomfortable sex (“This man has no idea where the clitoris is”). At least she’ll never have to see him again, right? Unfortunately, her inept lover turns out to be washed-up heartthrob actor Finn Walsh, her new client. They’re going to collaborate on Finn’s memoir and agree to keep things professional—until Chandler lets slip that their night together wasn’t as mind-blowing as Finn seems to believe. She thinks she’s going to be fired, but instead Finn asks Chandler to coach him into being a better lover through a series of steamy “intimacy lessons.” While it’s no surprise that Finn and Chandler get a happy ending, Solomon fills the journey there with clever twists and turns and supportive, realistically drawn family and friends, who offer advice and encouragement along the way. This is a joy. Agent: Laura Bradford, Bradford Literary.
June 1, 2023 Ghostwriting celebrity memoirs is something Chandler Cohen is good at, though she secretly wishes she could write her own book. At a last-minute meeting with a potential new client, Chandler is shocked to discover the client is actually Finn Walsh, a former teen actor who also happens to be Chandler's one-night stand from the night before. She's ready to turn down the job, but the offer is more than she can refuse. Chandler finds herself touring the country with Finn as he attends various comic conventions, all so she can gather information to ghostwrite his memoir. But when Chandler lets it slip that Finn isn't great in the bedroom, he's determined to learn to be better, inspiring Chandler's offer to tutor him in the art of sexual pleasure. Fans of comic conventions and Hollywood crushes will adore Solomon's (Weather Girl, 2022) sexy celebrity romance. Chandler's emotional journey to decide what she really wants to do with her life will resonate with many, while nerdy Finn is exactly the book-boyfriend readers will adore.

June 15, 2023 A ghostwriter and a C-list actor supplement their working relationship with lessons in seduction. Chandler Cohen is a ghostwriter, and her insecurities about her work only grow larger when an author whose memoir she wrote fails to recognize her at their launch event. In need of commiseration, she strikes up a conversation with a fellow event attendee. Following an immediate attraction, they cap off the night with a surprisingly mediocre one-night stand. Her next assignment is yet another celebrity memoir, this one written with Finn Walsh, known mostly for playing the nerdy character in a werewolf drama with a cult following. It turns out that he was also her lackluster hookup. At first, they agree to keep things professional, but when Finn learns that Chandler was left unsatisfied by his bedroom prowess, he seeks to spice up their arrangement: Perhaps Chandler could improve not only his memoir, but his seduction skills as well. He thinks getting Chandler to go along with this plan is a long shot, but she readily agrees. It's always a pleasure to see the woman in a heterosexual couple being more experienced in intimate matters and having no problem communicating her desires. Chandler knows she deserves better at work and in her romantic life, and it's a joy to root for her as she makes changes for her own happiness and independence. Finn is pretty close to the definition of a cinnamon-roll hero; he's genuine, communicative, and has an earnest desire to make sure Chandler feels seen and heard in all aspects of their nebulous relationship. Solomon consistently balances spicy and sweet, making her romance novels a sure bet for a good read. A must-read modern romance that emphasizes silliness and sexiness in equal parts. Solomon's best yet.

Hathaway Lee's delightful performance takes listeners to Seattle, where Chandler Cohen, a ghostwriter, is attending a book signing for a book she wrote. There she meets an attractive man she instantly connects with--but their chemistry in the bedroom proves to be severely lacking. She just wants to forget the encounter ever happened; however, she soon learns her next assignment will be ghostwriting for Finn Walsh, the very person with whom she had that one-night stand. Lee smoothly transitions from character to character. She mesmerizes with Chandler and Flynn's magnetic chemistry and laugh-out-loud banter. This heartfelt rom-com will have listeners smiling from start to finish. J.J.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
