Book Synopsis
Emmy is her own worst enemy. So why does she fancy someone who looks like her? Overthinker and recent drama school graduate Emmy Clooney (no relation) will do anything to be successful, despite the lack of roles for queer actors. But in the audition room for what should be her big break, Emmy collides with rising star, Mae Jones. Mae is the same casting type as Emmy (‘Short-haired Lesbian’), so they’ll always be fighting for the same parts. Unfortunately, Mae is also very talented, very charismatic, and very hot... She’s Emmy’s type in every way. When their opposite personalities clash, Emmy and Mae begin a fierce competition to be the best gay in showbiz. But if they’re cast in the same play, will they find a way to act nicely – or take their rivalry to the next stage? ‘Extremely fun’ - Kate Davies 'The world needs more queer frivolity and more genuinely funny books like this' - Bethany Rutter

Whip smart, wickedly funny and so much fun’ Laura Kay ‘Witty and heartfelt, with lashings of chemistry and dialogue that shines’ Lex Croucher ‘The world needs more queer frivolity. Lily Lindon has such a light, witty touch and such an acute understanding of love and relationships’ Bethany Rutter ‘Life-affirming and joyful, with a hilarious and loveable heroine’ Hannah Dolby ‘I loved, loved, loved it... Lily Lindon’s warmth and irrepressible sense of humour shines through on each page’ Emma Hughes ‘A clever reworking of the conventions of the rom com... It’s cupcake cute and really quite joyous’ Matt Cain ‘Tender, uplifting and laugh-out-loud funny’ Taylor Cole ‘Expect horny romps and big feelings as Emmy and Mae fight it out’ Lizzie Huxley-Jones 'EXTREMELY FUN - if anyone is in need of a funny, charming queer rom com set in the world of acting (yes please) with TWO BUTCH LESBIANS as the romantic leads (YES PLEASE), this is the book for you.'
