When your favourite rockstar offers to be your wingman, there's only one thing you cannot do—fall for him. Practice Makes Perfect meets How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days in this flirty, sexy, and hilarious opposites attract rom-com.

The perfect plan to win back your ex. The rookie mistake? Falling for the man that's teaching you how. When your favourite rockstar offers to be your wingman, there's only one thing you cannot do—fall for him. For fans of Practice Makes Perfect and How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days.

Maria Antonieta "Marianto" has her life perfectly mapped out—a long-term relationship with her dream man, Alejandro, and a coveted job at Latin America's biggest digital magazine. But within hours of going viral, everything falls apart. Marianto loses her boyfriend and her job.

Her solution to get them back? Write the article of a lifetime about a series of romantic experiments to win back your ex.

Enter Simón Arreaza, the sexy lead singer of her favourite indie band. After Simón discovers her list of experiments and replaces each idea with one of his own, Marianto is surprised to find that his advice actually works. They end up striking a deal—he coaches Marianto on how to win Alejandro's heart, and she will help raise his band's profile.

But between the fake photo ops and late nights together, the lines of their alliance blur and Marianto starts to question if she really wants to rekindle things with Alejandro.

Because Simón was never part of the plan, and for the first time, Marianto doesn't have all the answers. Maybe she doesn't need to...

One wildcard can change everything—will she be open to the possibilities?

About the Author

Maria J. Morillo is a Venezuelan author who has channeled her love for 2000s rom-coms into hilarious books featuring people finding love in the most ridiculous but heartwarming ways possible. Translator and English tutor by day, she spends her time surrounded by the English language, which she taught herself when she was fourteen years old and has been speaking for over fifteen years. When she's not writing, you can find her spending time with her family at her Venezuela home, watching Friends, or hiding away from society by way of a good book.
