Fans of Lauren Weisberger and Emily Henry won’t want to miss this funny, sexy, and emotional novel that looks at modern relationships, modern choices, and redefining—not to mention rebranding—your dreams, through the eyes of an Instagram influencer. “Themes of personal choice and female empowerment underscore this tender rom-com from Guertin… A cast of wonderful supporting characters, led by spunky Addie, add authenticity and tug at the heartstrings. Readers will be charmed.”— Publishers Weekly A PopSugar Beach Reads SelectionA BookBub Best Book of June In this #funny, #wise, #emotionally compelling look at modern love and finding your true path, a proudly kid-free influencer meets the ultimate #dealbreaker . . .
It’s the influencer’s golden rule: know your niche. Kit Kidding has found hers on Instagram, where she gets paid to promote brands and share expertly curated posts about her fun, fabulous, child-free life. Kit likes kids just fine, but she passionately believes that women who choose not to become mothers shouldn’t have to face guilt. Or judgement. Or really hot chefs who turn out to be single dads.
Will MacGregor is aggravating, sexy, persistent, averse to social media, and definitely a bad idea. As soon as Kit learns his parenting status, she vows to put their scorching one-night stand behind her and move on. But Will and Kit are thrown together on an Instagram campaign, and the more time she spends with him—and his whip-smart, eight-year-old daughter, Addie—the more difficult it is to stay away, much less sustain what Will so cleverly calls her “Resting Beach Face.” Kit’s picture-perfect career path is suddenly clashing with the possibility of a different future—messy, complicated, and real. Which life does she truly want? Will she have to re-invent herself? And will love still be waiting by the time she figures it out?
From bestselling author, brand ambassador, and beauty expert Chantel Guertin, an intelligent yet swoon-worthy rom-com about how an influencer behind the "kid-free forever" social-media movement has her world - and her brand - turned upside down when she seriously falls for a smart and sexy single dad...
***COPY DRAFT - NOT FINAL**
Kit Kidding is the leader of the "kid-free forever" social-media movement founded to normalize the life choices of women who choose not to have children, a role model to hundreds of thousands of female professionals who follow her on Instagram, where she shares carefully curated, inspirational posts about her glamorous, childfree life. But then she meets Will. He's smart, sexy and arrogant as hell--and their chemistry is undeniable. After their one-night stand, they're thrown together on an Instagram campaign--which is when Kit learns he's a single dad. In a word: dealbreaker. And yet, she can't quit Will. The more time she spends with him, the more time she wants to spend with him--and his precocious eight-year-old daughter, Addie.
Kit must decide what's most important: work, love or family. Can she allow herself to be happy? Will she be brave enough to redefine her dreams to get the life she truly wants--regardless of what anyone else thinks? And will the love of her life still be there when she finally figures it all out?
