A ghostwriter and a struggling actor help each other on the page and in the bedroom in this steamy romantic comedy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Talk.
Chandler Cohen has never felt more like the ghost in "ghostwriter" until she attends a signing for a book she wrote—and the author doesn’t even recognize her. The evening turns more promising when she meets a charming man at the bar and immediately connects with him. But when all their sexual tension culminates in a spectacularly awkward hookup, she decides this is one night better off forgotten.
Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done. Her next project is ghostwriting a memoir for Finn Walsh, a C-list actor best known for playing a lovable nerd on a cult classic werewolf show who now makes a living appearing at fan conventions across the country. Chandler knows him better from their one-night stand of hilarious mishaps.
Chandler’s determined to keep their partnership as professional as possible, but when she admits to Finn their night together wasn’t as mind-blowing as he thought it was, he’s distraught. He intrigues her enough that they strike a deal: when they’re not working on his book, Chandler will school Finn in the art of satisfaction. As they grow closer both in and out of the bedroom, they must figure out which is more important, business or pleasure—or if there's a way for them to have both.

I am very tempted to give this a 1 star, but I'll just put that aside and think that I didn't finish even three chapters of it because it wasn't my cup of tea. And not because of this author's writing. Or maybe it might have been a little. The exchanges between the two of them felt a little forced, somehow? I thought they were cute at first, but I couldn't really sense that chemistry between them after reading further. I really applaud their capability to be vulnerable with one another from the get-go though. Then that one-night stand. Whatever little interest I had left in them completely vanished. That was what happened to the vulnerability they displayed with one another as well. Gone. Out the wind. And Drew's (this may not even be his real name) personality seemed to have taken a 180 change as well? What came out of his mouth just wasn't like him, and it made him very... fake. I couldn't go on.
This is my first time reading about friends with benefits but I love how both were able to communicate about everything even thought was difficult. I’m looking forward to read more from this author.
аааааа какой кринж
не, ну наверное нельзя написать книгу о том, как один партнер дает другому партнеру уроки секса, и сделать это некринжово
но она написала план курса. она подготовила ДИАГРАММЫ. она, наконец, сказала "отшлепай меня"
