Millie Morris has always been one of the guys. A UC Santa Barbara professor, sheβs a female-serial-killer expert whoβs 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 theyβll join an online dating service to find plus-ones for the event. Thereβs 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 isnβt for the faint of heart. While the guys are inundated with quality matches and potential dates, Millieβs first profile attempt garners nothing but dick pics and creepers. Enter βCatherineββMillieβs fictional profile persona, in whose make-believe shoes she can be more vulnerable than sheβs ever been in person. Soon βCatherineβ and Reid strike up a digital pen-pal-ship...but Millie canβt resist temptation in real life, either. Soon, Millie will have to face her worst fearβintimacyβor risk losing her best friend, forever.
Perfect for fans of Roxanne and Sheβs the Man, Christina Laurenβs latest romantic comedy is full of mistaken identities, hijinks, and a classic love story with a modern twist. Funny and fresh, youβll want to swipe right on My Favorite Half-Night Stand.
