Book Synopsis
To win the job of her dreams, a relationship-prone journalist needs to learn how to stay single in this heartwarming and hilarious new romantic comedy from the beloved author of Lease on Love. Lana Parker is an expert girlfriend. After a disastrous breakup with her high school boyfriend, she's bounced from long-term relationship to long-term relationhip and even works as the dating and relationship columnist for one of Los Angeles's trendiest websites. But when Lana suddenly finds herself single, she's ready to take a break, both personally and professionally. That is, until her high school ex, Seth Carson, takes an assignment at Lana's site. Having spent years traveling the world as a freelance journalist, Seth's finally ready to put down roots. Seth and Lana's chemistry is just as combative--and undeniable--as ever and quickly leads to a competition that could shape both of their careers. Pitted against each other by Lana's boss, they are each tasked with writing an article series that goes against their usual dating type: Lana needs to write about being single and staying single, while Seth must learn to settle down and become boyfriend material. Whoever's series is most popular winds a highly coveted dream job. But when the two square off, it's not only their careers on the line--it's also their hearts.Review Quotes

Super cute read! Seth and Lana are high school sweethearts (and yes, some do last a lifetime) that find themselves separated after miscommunication and their own personal issues get in their way. Thankfully fate brings them back together again to word out their communication issues and helps them find what they’ve been missing - each other!

Lana Parker has bounced around from relationship to relationship trying to find “the one” but in the end being let down by every man she meets. She is an expert when it comes to love and even writes about it for a living. After one too many breakups, Lana is ready to try out being single once and for all. Seth Carson is new to town, but not new to Lana. Her first-ever boyfriend, the one who crushed her heart, is coming in hot and ready to take her job. Seth also writes for a living but has been living a more free-flowing lifestyle, hopping from place to place learning about people, and sharing the stories he has collected. Now this book hit close to home. As someone who is with their high school sweetheart, it was very real to read about the decisions Lana and Seth made and the options they had to weigh out at such a young age. As the story goes on, you watched both main characters evolve and completely change. Their big split caused Lana and Seth to react in very different ways. Throughout the book, Lana learns so much about herself and how her childhood has affected her adult relationships and life choices. You can tell how much she underestimated herself and needed to be shown how great she could be. Luckily there were some pretty awesome side characters written in to support her and then some other characters you really grew to dislike. This story was very well blended between seeing how the characters used to be, how they turned out as adults, and what they grow into by the end. This was a great second-chance romance with so much more added to the storyline. Highly encourage others to check it out, especially if you have read and liked Falon Ballards other novel Lease On Love.
