It’s a Love Story by Annabel Monaghan

A Smart, Funny Hollywood Romance from the USA Today Bestselling Author of Nora Goes Off Script
Fake it till you make it… even if that means facing the man you never forgot.

In It’s a Love Story, Annabel Monaghan returns with another laugh-out-loud, deeply emotional rom-com perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Abby Jimenez, and Christina Lauren. With razor-sharp wit and heart to spare, Monaghan delivers a story of past regrets, unexpected reunions, and the love we never saw coming.

Jane Jackson was once the awkward teen star “Poor Janey Jakes” on a cult sitcom—braces, barbecue sauce, and all. Now she’s a polished Hollywood producer doing her best to be taken seriously. Her go-to strategy? Fake it till you make it. But when a white lie snowballs into a career-threatening situation, Jane finds herself scrambling.

She’s promised that her ex-childhood crush—now global pop sensation Jack Quinlan—will write the theme song for her latest film. One problem: she hasn’t spoken to him in 20 years. Enter Dan Finnegan, the charmingly infuriating cinematographer she’d rather forget… except he just might be her only way in.

Trapped on Long Island for a week with Dan, Jane is forced to confront everything she thought she left behind—including the possibility that the love story she gave up on may have just begun.
