The first standalone romance by New York Times and #1 international bestselling author Christina Lauren (Beautiful Bastard) is a sexy, compulsively readable romantic comedy that dives headlong into the thrill and doubt of modern love.

Despite the odds against them from an embarrassing meet-awkward at a mutual friend’s Halloween party, Carter and Evie immediately hit it off.

You don’t feel the need to check up on him or to stalk his Instagram for potential homewreckers.

You feel comfortable and safe in this relationship because of how he’s made you feel. If you have particularly picky loved ones, it might seem like no guy will ever be good enough for you as far as they’re concerned. It’s not that you need a man to feel beautiful about yourself.

The future, your psycho boss, sex, periods — you name it, he is happy to listen to you and have a conversation about pretty much anything that is on your mind.

He doesn’t want you to ever hold back or keep anything in.

Compatibility in a relationship can help determine whether or not you and your partner are meant to be together for the long haul.

Being truly compatible with each other means so much more than sharing the same beliefs or interests.

He looks at your problems as his own problems, and he’ll do anything in his power to get you smiling. This is largely due to the way that he’s consistent, shows up, and always lets you know that he’s there even when he’s not physically present.True compatibility means that your personalities mesh well with each other.
