“The Charm Offensive will sweep you off your feet.” (PopSugar)
In this witty and heartwarming romantic comedy — reminiscent of Red, White & Royal Blue and One to Watch — an awkward tech wunderkind on a reality dating show goes off-script when sparks fly with his producer.
Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it’s no wonder then that he’s spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise’s history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star.
Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesn’t believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, he’s a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date 20 women on national television. Behind the scenes, he’s cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off.
As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they’ll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.
Kritikerstimmen
"Adam depicts Dev as a mix of dreamy and dramatic, showing his idealistic side and his love for the show. Adam’s flowing narration smooths out the author’s occasional didacticism. Halstead voices Charlie Winshaw, the show’s star and a tech genius who suffers from OCD and generalized anxiety. Halstead accurately represents Charlie’s stilted TV performance, hesitant speech, and withdrawn manner. Cassandra Campbell delivers the daily script updates, her voice creating needed contrast among the sections. With meticulous attention to Dev and Charlie’s singular romance, Adam and Halstead paint a lively picture of reality TV." (AudioFile Magazine)

ACE REP ACE REP ACE REP
Sorry, this is all I can think about. We got goddamn great and wonderful asexual representation in this book which looked so much like the next 08/15 gay romcom.
But we also got mental illnesses with their dirty parts, we got enbys and we got questioning and so so so much.
I love to see diversity shown like this. Bright and open and proud. I want a lot of books to be like this one. So honest and heartfelt and beautiful.
And fuck yeah gimme all that ace rep. It makes me so friggin happy.

A must-read
This book has given me so much more than I expected. It taught me about myself and I found great comfort in it.
I haven't read a lot of books about queer characters that also depict mental illness realistically. It is explored in depth here and that may sound dark, the book always manages to give you hope throughout the hard parts. I saw myself reflected in the amazingly diverse queer cast (incredible asexual representation!!) and their struggles and cried a fair bit too.
Altough it is a romcom, the book portrays the hard sides of love realistically and teaches you to love yourself and that you are deserving of love when you are mentally ill.

Very enjoyable
Once I got used to the different readers of the story I couldn’t stop listening. Great storyline that represents different forms of love. It also addresses mental issues in a very approachable way. Loved it

Perfect Romcom
Omg what a cute romcom!
Dev and Charlie are just incredibly sweet and lovable. Both of them are just perfectly inperfect - with problems and flaws but not less perfect.
The plot itself is kinda silly in a perfect romcom way. Funny and cute, interesting and sad, loving and sexy. Highly recommend!
