About this ebook
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 Selection
A 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?

Kit is an Instagram influencer. Known as KitWithoutKids, shes the beacon for every woman and couple who chooses the kid free lifestyle. Kit has a sexy one night stand with Will. Will is a chef. Because one of Kit's clients is a food prep service, and because the only thing Kit uses her oven for is book storage, well you see where this is going. By only having one night stands, Kit will never disappoint a man again by not wanting children. Only problem is Kit and Will can't seem to leave each other alone. And will is a widow with an eight year old daughter. If you're looking for a sometimes juicy but always a good story romance novel this is the one! The chemistry between Kit and Will crackles off the page and is just sexy enough but sex isn't all the book is about. The actual story is full of heart. You find yourself feeling for Kit because her reasons are heartfelt and justified. And while she does fall in love with Will, shes still in charge of her own life and a strong woman in her own right down to the end. This is a wonderful example of a relationship where two come together but also remain individuals in the process. I adored this book down to the last page. Easy five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you to NetGalley, Kensington Books, and Chantel Guertin for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
