Synopsis

A desperate mother. A dubious escort. And a deranged author who won’t leave them alone.Caroline Lindley is determined that her new romance novel will be her best one yet. Fantasy! Formal gowns! Fencing! And, of course, a twentysomething heroine to star in an enemies-to-lovers plot with all of Caroline’s favourite tropes.But Lady Rosamund Hawkhurst is a thirty-six-year-old widow with two children, her sole focus is facilitating a peace treaty between her adopted nation and her homeland, and she flatly refuses to take the correct approach to there being Only One Bed.What’s an author to do?Based on her popular Fantasy Heroine YouTube Shorts series, Jill Bearup’s debut novel brings us the best of worlds both meta and medieval-inspired. Terry Pratchett aficionados will enjoy the political intrigue paired with convivial, tongue-in-cheek satire. And then there's the slow-burn, fade-to-black romance too . . .If you loved Stranger Than Fiction and The Princess Bride, you will soon find yourself cheering on enemies-to-BFFs Rosamund and Caroline as together they learn what it means to be the hero of your own story.

Pick it up if you think you enjoy: -A real mix between high fantasy and contemporary -The fo......more

Goodreads review by Laura on February 28, 2024

So, the way this book is written there is essentially 3 worlds: 1. Is the real world where Caroline is living her day to day life, doing her job, dealing with a crappy boss, having a crush of her editor Henry, and most importantly writing her book. 2. Is Rosamund’s fantasy world. It’s about her journe......more

Goodreads review by Rachael on November 16, 2023

I started watching the author’s Fantasy Heroine Short series on YouTube last year, and as an author who loves the fantasy genre myself, I was hooked. Then I learned there she was going to turn it into a book and I was ecstatic. Just Stab Me Now is an absolute delight to read. It is a humorous romant......more
