"Juicy, silly, delightful, hilarious, hot, heartfelt--all the things romance readers love best." --Elle magazine
NAMED A BEST BOOK by Goodreads, Elle Magazine, Bustle, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and many more!
From Cosmopolitan's Cosmo Reads imprint comes a love letter to romance readers that is in turns chaotic, sexy, and addictively joyful.
Joonie has two great loves. Writing fanfic about her favorite fantasy romance series and swooning over its hero, Ryke, a broody, impossibly perfect merman. No real-life boyfriend has ever come close. Why settle for ordinary when your fictional crush is...well, an impossibly hot, impossibly wonderful Ryke?
But then Joonie discovers a secret: Ryke was inspired by a real man. And she's determined to find him. Cue a whirlwind road trip, complete with her brother's aggravatingly hot best friend at the wheel, clumsy kidnappers, psychics, and her fiercely loyal fanfic crew. He doesn't believe in love. She refuses to believe in anything else. And neither is ready for the sparks that start flying.
Filled with crackling banter, laugh-out-loud chaos, and swoony heat, Female Fantasy is an unapologetic ode to the romance genre and the readers who love it. Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood, Emily Henry, and B.K. Borison.
"Clever, delightfully chaotic, and a total joy to read!" -- Lyla Sage, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Wild and Wrangled
"Makes me feel like I'm floating on champagne bubbles. Decadent and dreamy, this one is for the romantics." -- B.K. Borison, New York Times bestselling author of First-Time Caller
