La rom-com perfecta para las lectoras de romance, con todos sus tropos literarios favoritos

Se ha leído todas las novelas románticas…, menos la suya.

A Irene Park le encantan las novelas románticas; le gustan tanto que se ha labrado una carrera como reseñadora de libros en internet y tiene muchísimos seguidores. Pero ¿y su vida amorosa? Nada. Cero. Es inexistente. Así que, cuando entra en la universidad, se propone encontrar el amor verdadero valiéndose de lo único que conoce de verdad: los tropos de las novelas románticas.


Ojalá fuera tan fácil, claro.

Aquí entra en escena Aiden Jeon, el rival de Irene en el mundo de las reseñas literarias y su mayor enemigo. Cuando Aiden la reta a ver quién encuentra primero el amor siguiendo los tropos de los libros, este se convierte en la única persona que se interpone en su camino para conseguir todo lo que quiere, tanto en lo profesional como en lo personal. Sin embargo, cuando la competición da un giro inesperado y los obliga a formar pareja en el típico cliché del fake dating, Irene no está preparada para que todo lo que creía sobre el amor -y sobre Aiden- termine patas arriba.

Mientras Irene se enfrenta a la vida universitaria, se esfuerza por descubrir lo que quiere para sí y, al mismo tiempo, intenta vencer en la carrera por el amor, dándose cuenta de que las respuestas quizá no se encuentren en una novela romántica. Los finales felices parecen facilísimos entre las páginas, pero para encontrar el suyo, tendrá que salir de los libros y ser la protagonista de su propia historia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

USA TODAY BEST SELLER!

She’s read every romance…except her own.

“Clever and delightful; a standout in the genre.” – ⭐KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW

“A must-have flirtation-via-tropes tale with all the swooning and joy readers want in a love story.” – ⭐SCHOOL & LIBRARY JOURNAL STARRED REVIEW

“Susan Lee has written an ode to all romance readers. It’s the kind of book I’ve been wanting to read for decades: a love letter to love stories and an instant favorite!”–Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis


Irene Park loves romance novels—so much so she’s made a career of them as an online book reviewer with a massive following. But Irene’s real life dating story? Non-existent.

So when she starts her freshman year of college, she sets her sights on finding true love using the one thing she really understands…romance book tropes.
If only it were that easy.

Enter Aiden Jeon, Irene’s online book review rival and biggest nemesis. When Aiden challenges her to see who can find love-by-trope first, he becomes the one person standing in her way to getting everything she wants both professionally and personally, too.

So when the competition takes an unexpected turn, forcing the two of them to have to partner in the ultimate trope, fake dating, Irene is not prepared for everything she believed about romance, and Aiden, to flip on its head.

As Irene tackles the challenges of college life, struggles to figure out what she really wants for herself, all while trying to win the race for love, Irene realizes the answers may not be found in a romance novel. Happily Ever Afters seem so easy on page.

But for Irene to find her ultimate HEA, she’ll have to get her nose out of the book and become the main character of her own story.
