HALLIE PIPER IS TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF.
After crawling out of a hotel room (hello, rock bottom), she decides it's time to become a full-on adult.
She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe. But when she logs into the dating app to look for new love, she finds none other than Jack: the guy whose hotel room she'd snuck out of.
After agreeing they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie realise that they're each other's perfect wing-person - and join forces in their searches for The One. They even make a wager to see who can find true love first.
But when they agree to be fake dates for a weekend wedding, all bets are off.
Because as they pretend to be a couple, they struggle to remember why dating for real was a bad idea to begin with...

      Painter follows up Mr. Wrong Number with an equally cute friends to lovers romance. Jack Marshall has a crisis about his love life after the playboy uncle he’s always idolized dies alone, leading Jack to cling to his own toxic relationship. That plan blows up in his face at the wedding of his sister, Olivia, to his best friend, Colin—the protagonists of the previous book—where Jack gets dumped and winds up hooking up with the bartender, Hallie Piper, instead. For Hallie, drunkenly hooking up with a stranger in the middle of her shift is rock bottom, but Jack turns out to be a kind and supportive confidant. The two of them make a bet: the first one to get their lives in order and find true love wins. Wing-manning for each other over a series of disastrous dates brings them closer—so close that when Hallie needs a date for her own sister’s wedding, Jack steps in to play her fake boyfriend. Though Jack doesn’t feel quite as fleshed out as potty-mouthed spark plug Hallie, their equally filthy sense of humor makes their connection feel real and their game of constant one-upmanship is a lot of fun. Painter’s fans won’t be disappointed. Agent: Kim Lionetti, Bookends.

      Kristen DiMercurio and Zachary Webber provide unputdownable entertainment and sexiness with this rom-com. Hallie hits rock bottom when she finds herself sneaking out of a hotel room and decides it's time to be an adult. But when she runs into Jack, the guy who was in the hotel room, they make a bet to see who can find true love first. The production and performances are flawless. The chemistry is palpable, and the alternating narrations are outstanding. The two narrators also pop into the other's chapters to narrate text messages. The banter is fabulous between Hallie and Jack and among the secondary characters. DiMercurio and Webber are at their best, and this is narration perfection. Listeners are guaranteed to laugh out loud while falling in love with Hallie and Jack. E.P. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
