Synopsis

A teen actress lands a role on the same high-profile show as her ex-boyfriend—only for things to get messy when she falls for his cute scene partner—in a dazzling sapphic rom-com from the author of Caught in a Bad Fauxmance.

“A swoony celebrity romance sure to steal your heart.” —Jennifer Dugan, author of Some Girls Do

Actress Marisol Polly-Rodriguez might be entering her flop era. After wrapping  up a hit show, she’s neither booked nor busy. Not to mention, her former costar turned boyfriend, Miles, recently dumped her for being an “unserious” performer. Can you imagine?

To prove to Miles—and online trolls—that she takes her craft very seriously,  Marisol lands a role on the same  upcoming drama series he does. But with the eccentric director constantly  rewriting her lines and a snobby castmate trying to upstage her, Marisol quickly  realizes that her hope of nabbing an award nomination might be a pipe dream.

The only person she doesn’t have to put on a performance for is the show’s leading lady, Jamila. Marisol hasn’t  been able to look away from her since their first audition. Falling for Jamila wasn’t part of Marisol’s plan, but even the most dedicated actors go off script sometimes, right?

Goodreads review by Jasmine on August 04, 2025

Legally Blonde, make it diverse and Sapphic and about shooting a TV series. This is a fun, sweet rom com that highlights how awful the acting industry can be to people, but it's wrapped in a family-oriented romance. I love Marisol's family so much.

Goodreads review by Alicia on August 05, 2025

This was such a cute story! The vibes are like Legally Blonde if Elle had fallen for Vivian, with multiple nods to the movie, and I am here for it. I loved Mari; she is unapologetically pink and feminine and queer, and she is a real girl's girl. Her relationship with Jamila is so sweet and I loved b......more

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for my honest review! I have read all of Elle’s books and can say this is my favorite. I loved Marisol.
