Status Updates From Book Smart (Work For It, #3)

Cameron Whitacre has loved his best friend for years. Then she names him her wingman for a dating experiment.

Book Smart is a closed-door, best-friends-to-lovers rom-com with banter, slow burn, and one very patient hero.

She’s testing 1950s dating advice on 21st-century men.

He’s her best friend and her wingman, and he's tired of waiting for her to notice him.

Book Smart is a closed-door, best-friends-to-lovers rom-com with banter, slow burn, and a very green flag hero.

Melanie finds a 1950s dating advice list, decides to test it on modern men, and completely fails to notice her best friend Cameron has been in love with her the whole time. 😭 Slow burn, best-friends-to-lovers, and a hero who is so green flag it should be illegal! 📖✨

If you enjoyed Book Smart, I have a new closed-door rom-com releasing on KU on July 28! 🌿 Gardens & Grudges is a completely new story with a Type A gardener heroine, a famous chef hero, a spoiled cat, and a neighborly feud that turns into something more 💛

Did you know some of the side characters in Book Smart get their own story? 👀

Writing Book Smart started with a Facebook scroll and turned into a rom-com about what happens when outdated dating advice collides with modern love.

It’s smart, awkward, hopeful, and rooted in friendship as much as romance—exactly the kind of story I love to read and write. 💛
