Joy is in love with Malcolm.
But Malcolm really likes Summer.
Summer is in love with love.
And Fox is Summer's ex-boyfriend.

Thirty, flirty, and asexual Joy is secretly in love with her best friend Malcolm, but she's never been brave enough to say so. When he unexpectedly announces that he's met the love of his life--and no, it's not Joy--she's heartbroken. Malcolm invites her on a weekend getaway, and Joy decides it's her last chance to show him exactly what he's overlooking. But maybe Joy is the one missing something...or someone...and his name is Fox.

Fox sees a kindred spirit in Joy--and decides to help her. He proposes they pretend to fall for each other on the weekend trip to make Malcolm jealous. But spending time with Fox shows Joy what it's like to not be the third wheel, and there's no mistaking the way he makes her feel. Could Fox be the romantic partner she's always deserved?

Such a fresh an quirky rom-com!
The Romantic Agenda has all the elements that I love in romance. Starting with best friends trope, squeeze in a tropical getaway, it was a terrific read!
I appreciate that it has Asexual representation, this is something that hasn't really been written in romance stories. The writing is so fun and witty, I found myself laughing out loud in real life. And I related to the angst of loving your bestie from afar.
I think this is the perfect summer read, to be taken with you to the beach or poolside. I highly recommend.
