The True Love Experiment

The Audie Award Winner for Best Romance of the Year and a Library Reads Hall of Fame pick, The True Love Experiment is the irresistible new novel from New York Times bestselling duo Christina Lauren.

Felicity "Fizzy" Chen has built a career telling readers to believe in love. Bestselling novels, devoted fans, an enviable reputation as the queen of romance — she has it all. Then she's asked to deliver a commencement address, and the question she can't shake stops her cold: has she ever actually been in love herself?

Lust, sure. Plenty of that. But the real thing — the all-consuming, can't-sleep, completely swept-away feeling she's written about a hundred times? Not once.

With her optimism starting to feel like a performance, Fizzy is at a crossroads she didn't see coming.

Connor Prince is in a different kind of trouble. A documentary filmmaker and single dad, he's good at his job — but his boss has just ordered him to produce a reality TV show or risk losing his position entirely. It's not exactly his comfort zone.

Then a chance encounter with a very exasperated Fizzy gives Connor an idea he can't let go of. What if the show followed the queen of romance herself falling in love on camera, for all the world to see?

Fizzy's first answer is a hard no. Her second answer comes with a list of demands.

When Connor agrees to every single one of them, production on The True Love Experiment officially begins. Fizzy gets her shot at finding the real thing. Connor gets his show. And somewhere between the cue cards and the cameras, the lines between on-screen and off start to blur in ways neither of them planned for.

"The True Love Experiment is my favorite kind of book to devour: something that manages to be hot and intense, yet still the very best comfort food. The divine Christina Lauren has created the ultimate reality dating show, and like all its fictional viewers, you'll fall for Fizzy." — Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Mad Honey
