By the New York Times bestselling author who âhilariously depicts modern datingâ (Us Weekly), My Favorite Half-Night Stand is a laugh-out-loud romp through online dating and its many, many fails.
Millie Morris has always been one of the guys. A UC Santa Barbara professor, sheâs a female-serial-killer expert whoâs quick with a deflection joke and terrible at getting personal. And she, just like her four best guy friends and fellow professors, is perma-single.
So when a routine university function turns into a black tie gala, Mille and her circle make a pact that theyâll join an online dating service to find plus-ones for the event. Thereâs only one hitch: after making the pact, Millie and one of the guys, Reid Campbell, secretly spend the sexiest half-night of their lives together, but mutually decide the friendship would be better off strictly platonic.
But online dating isnât for the faint of heart. While the guys are inundated with quality matches and potential dates, Millieâs first profile attempt garners nothing but dick pics and creepers. Enter âCatherineââMillieâs fictional profile persona, in whose make-believe shoes she can be more vulnerable than sheâs ever been in person. Soon âCatherineâ and Reid strike up a digital pen-pal-ship...but Millie canât resist temptation in real life, either. Soon, Millie will have to face her worst fearâintimacyâor risk losing her best friend, forever.
Perfect for fans of Roxanne and Sheâs the Man, Christina Laurenâs latest romantic comedy is full of mistaken identities, hijinks, and a classic love story with a modern twist. Funny and fresh, youâll want to swipe right on My Favorite Half-Night Stand.
