ABOUT THE BOOK

In this side-splitting novel, Ferguson introduces readers to the world of successful screenwriter Finn Masters, who lands his dream job working for Neighbors—one of Hollywood's most beloved sitcoms. However, there's a twist—he must collaborate with none other than his lifelong nemesis, the universally adored, optimistic, and altruistic star of the show, Lavender Rhodes. Little does Lavender know that she unwittingly destroyed Finn's acting career during their school days in England and sabotaged his relationship with his first love. Finn refuses to let Lavender ruin yet another dream. Instead, he hatches a plan for the ultimate payback: transforming Lavender's character in shocking and hilarious ways. What could possibly go wrong? Well, as it turns out, everything! Finn's not-so-brilliant plot unravels scene by scene, ensnaring him in its comedic chaos and leading him to see Lavender, his infuriating lifelong foe, in an entirely new light—maybe even as someone lovable. With her signature wit and humor, Ferguson delivers a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that takes readers on a rollercoaster ride through the unpredictable world of Hollywood and the even more unpredictable world of love and rivalry.
