Watch out for karaoke mishaps that result in a fake engagement...because weddings are forever... When librarian Cecily Jane Allerton and hotshot struggling author Nate Ellis are caught in a compromising position during their MFA program, they decide to get married to keep the haters from destroying their careers. To the horror of Cecily's family, which is a big fan of big white weddings, they elope to City Hall. Now they're back on Block Island, pretending to be a real married couple, and finding that however fake the relationship may be, the mutual attraction is all too real. With Cecily vying for a literary award, Nate striving to get past his writer's block, and plans to annul the marriage after the MFA program ends, what could possibly go wrong? Praise for The Book Proposal: "A wonderfully real main character and a sparkling new voice. Every page is a rom-com lover's delight." --Emily Wibberley & Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of Do I Know You? "Sassy, smart and wicked fun!" --Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author "With witty banter and a clever, self-aware plot, this romantic gem marks Micciche as a writer to watch." --Publishers Weekly STARRED Review "Ridiculously endearing and entertaining, this debut rom-com...will have fans of bookish romances laughing out loud, unable to stop turning the pages." --Library Journal "Full of laugh-out-loud passages, great characters who seem ready to walk right off the page, and some fun raunchy bits, this is a joy to read." --Booklist
