Description

Sparks fly when a romance writer and a documentary filmmaker join forces to craft the ultimate Hollywood love story—but only if they can keep the chemistry between them from taking the whole thing off script—from the “divine” (Jodi Picoult) New York Times bestselling authors of The Soulmate Equation and The Unhoneymooners.

Felicity “Fizzy” Chen is lost. Sure, she’s got an incredible career as a beloved romance novelist with a slew of bestsellers under her belt, but when she’s asked to give a commencement address, it hits her: she hasn’t been practicing what she’s preached.

Fizzy hasn’t ever really been in love. Lust? Definitely. But that swoon-worthy, can’t-stop-thinking-about-him, all-encompassing feeling? Nope. Nothing. What happens when the optimism she’s spent her career encouraging in readers starts to feel like a lie?

Connor Prince, documentary filmmaker and single father, loves his work but when his profit-minded boss orders him to create a reality TV show, putting his job on the line, Connor is out of his element. Desperate to find his romantic lead, a chance run-in with an exasperated Fizzy offers Connor the perfect solution. What if he could show the queen of romance herself falling head-over-heels for all the world to see? Fizzy gives him a hard pass—unless he agrees to her list of demands. When he says yes, and production on The True Love Experiment begins, Connor wonders if that perfect match will ever be in the cue cards for him, too.

“Full of big laughs, a few tears, and some seriously steamy scenes” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), The True Love Experiment is the book fans have been waiting for ever since Fizzy’s debut in the New York Times bestselling The Soulmate Equation.

    I loved this book so much!! Fizzy is hilarious and Connor is dreamy. I was rooting for them the whole time. I loved The Soulmate Equation. Fell in love with River and his sincerity, but with this one, I couldn’t get enough of Fizzy and Connor together. BTW, thanks for giving us more from Jess, River, and Junno. It was great seeing more of them. Christina and Lauren are great together. I’m definitely picking more of your books.

    The way I was giggling and kicking my feet in the air the ENTIRE book… The chemistry here is equal parts hot and intimate, making me fall in love with both characters so deeply from early on. I found myself rereading parts to make the book feel longer, because by 30% through, I was already sad that it could end. I’ve read and enjoyed CL’s writing for several years, but reading this highlights how much it has evolved to sheer humorous, sweet, sexy perfection. Thanks a lot for both reminding me of my lifelong desire to read about connections like these and putting me in a reading slump at the same time!

    I loved the chemistry between Fizzy and Connor. The best books are those that are movies in our heads as we read; this book is already my favorite movie. I did slow down reading the book toward the end because I just wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Cizzy. Thank you, Christina Lauren, for several hours of pure bliss.

    This book was too too. The hero thought like a woman. The heroine was crass. I couldn’t even finish it.

    What a glorious book! I took my own sweet time reading The True Love Experiment, savoring every single word. This book is brilliant in every possible way. It is funny, it is swoony, sexy and downright moving. We are in Fizzy’s heart and soul, she is magic. Pure magic.
