A Disaster in Three Acts

Fans of Elise Bryant and Rachel Lynn Solomon will swoon for Last Chance Books author Kelsey Rodkey’s next romance, packed with snark, banter, and inconvenient crushes.

Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling.

Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle? Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend’s ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy—why is he always around?—turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams?

Saine hates to admit it, but she’d watch that movie.

There’s something about Holden that makes her feel like she’s the one in front of the camera—like he can see every uncomfortable truth she’s buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story’s supposed to go. So why does every moment with Holden seem intent on changing the ending?

• Childhood Friends to Enemies to... More?: Saine and Holden used to be inseparable. Now, she can barely stand him, which is a problem when her entire future depends on them working together.
• Forced Proximity: To get into her dream film school, Saine has to make a documentary about the last person on earth she wants to see: Holden. Getting the perfect shot is going to be… complicated.
• Witty Banter: He knows just how to get under her skin, and she gives as good as she gets. Their sharp-tongued exchanges might just be masking what they’re both too stubborn to admit.
• Rival Filmmakers: She needs him for her documentary, but he’s also the competition. As the cameras roll, Saine starts to wonder who’s really directing this story.
