Book Smart - Hardcover

by Smartypants Romance (Author), Amanda Pennington (Author)

Melanie Hirsch is tired of watching life pass her by...

I've spent the last few years watching my dreams of a writing career and true love fade away, settling for a dead-end job and denying my feelings for my best friend - until I find a list of dating advice for single women to "find a husband" in the 1950s. I decide to experiment: try out the 1950s advice on my 21st-century dating pool and write about the results. If love is timeless, some of the dating advice still holds value. Maybe my experiment will launch my writing career. Maybe I'll get over my best friend and meet someone new. Either way, I'm done watching from the sidelines.

Cameron Whitacre can't wait forever...

I've spent the last few years in love with my best friend, hoping she'll notice my friendly overtures have more than friendly intentions - but before I realize what's happening, she declares me her wingman for a dating experiment. This idea could launch her writing career, so I'm trying to be supportive. But her experiment turns my life into a desperation-fueled dumpster fire. I need to show her how I feel without jeopardizing our friendship, all before she falls for someone else.

'Book Smart' is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #3 in the Work For It series, Educated Romance World, Penny Reid Book Universe.
