ONE STORY. TWO EXES. CAN THEY CHANGE THEIR ENDING?
'Such a fun, romantic read' Beth O'Leary
'This book melted my stone cold heart' Jendella Benson
Temi and Wale meet in London. They flirt, date, meet each other's friends.
Then they break up. And Wale goes on a reality dating show.
Instead of giving in to heartbreak, Temi throws herself into her dream: writing. She's within touching distance of a book deal that would solve all her problems. But publishers keep passing on her novel and bills still have to be paid. So, when the opportunity to ghost-write a celebrity memoir arises, Temi accepts.
And, of course, the celebrity turns out to be Wale...
Will Temi and Wale repeat the patterns of their past? Or can they write a whole new story?

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Lizzie Damilola Blackburn is a British-Nigerian writer, born in Peckham, who wants to tell the stories that she and her friends have longed for but never seen - romcoms 'where Cinderella is Black and no-one bats an eyelid'. In 2019 she won the Literary Consultancy Pen Factor Writing Competition with the early draft of Yinka, Where is your Huzband?, which she had been writing alongside juggling her job at Carers UK. She has been at the receiving end of the question in the title of her novel many times, and now lives with her husband in Milton Keynes.
