NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR
Legally Blonde and Jury Duty meet The Real Housewives in this high-stakes courtroom love story--a sexy and sweet but heartfelt romantic comedy about friendship, romance, and reality television from the acclaimed author of Love Buzz and In a Not So Perfect World.
Sydney Parks thinks she might be the first person in the world to look forward to serving jury duty. When Margot Kitsch, an OG cast member of the hit reality show Authentic Moms of Malibu is arrested after the untimely death of her cast member husband, Joe, Sydney knows being selected for the jury is the most interesting thing that ever happened to her.
However, it doesn't take long for Sydney to realize that being part of a sequestered jury in a high-profile case is not at all what legal dramas had led her to expect--especially when she learns that her childhood best friend, Damon, whom she hasn't seen in ten years, is also a jury member.
As the trial wears on, Sydney realizes there's a lot more to the case than she first thought. And there's also a lot more to Damon--she soon finds herself falling under his spell despite the court's instructions not to fraternize. His tendency to break the rules and find adventure is hard to resist in their otherwise dull juror's world. But getting close to Damon also means having to face the complicated reasons their friendship abruptly ended just when they were on the precipice of something more.
With all the drama in and out of the courtroom, how is Sydney supposed to ignore the fraught history between them? How is she supposed to avoid him when he's sitting next to her in the jury box every day with his broad shoulders and intoxicating smell? And how is she supposed to ensure Margot gets a fair trial if her unfinished business with Damon causes the mistrial of the century?
