Millie Morris has always been one of the guys. A UC Santa
Barbara professor, she’s a female-serial-killer expert who’s
quick with a deflection joke and terrible at getting
personal. And she, just like her four best guy friends and
fellow professors, is perma-single.
So when a routine university function turns into a black tie
gala, Mille and her circle make a pact that they’ll join an
online dating service to find plus-ones for the event.
There’s only one hitch: after making the pact, Millie and
one of the guys, Reid Campbell, secretly spend the sexiest
half-night of their lives together, but mutually decide the
friendship would be better off strictly platonic.
But online dating isn’t for the faint of heart. While the
guys are inundated with quality matches and potential dates,
Millie’s first profile attempt garners nothing but dick pics
and creepers. Enter “Catherine”—Millie’s fictional profile
persona, in whose make-believe shoes she can be more
vulnerable than she’s ever been in person. Soon “Catherine”
and Reid strike up a digital pen-pal-ship...but Millie can’t
resist temptation in real life, either. Soon, Millie will
have to face her worst fear—intimacy—or risk losing her best
friend, forever.
Perfect for fans of Roxanne and She’s the Man, Christina
Lauren’s latest romantic comedy is full of mistaken
identities, hijinks, and a classic love story with a modern
twist. Funny and fresh, you’ll want to swipe right on My
Favorite Half-Night Stand.
