Twenty years after the wildly popular vampire romance series that defined her teenage years, a down-and-out podcaster gets a second chance--at her career and love--when she's cast in the audio drama alongside the one who got away, in this heartfelt, magical romcom.
"Say It Out Loud is a deliciously sexy, disarmingly poignant, and deliriously funny enemies-to-fake-dating-to-friends-to-lovers romance."--Ashley Poston, New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics and The Seven Year Slip Juniper Green doesn't believe in magic anymore. Not since her mom died, her dreams of a publishing career fizzled, and her podcast--the one bright spot in her life--was stolen out from under her. Now, at thirty-two, she's living in her dad's spare room and wondering if life peaked when she was a teenager with a stack of vampire books and an unhealthy obsession with enigmatic immortals. Then comes the email: an invitation to audition for the lead role in the audio drama adaptation of The Meadow, the wildly popular vampire romance series that defined her teenage years. It's a dream opportunity--until she learns her co-star is James Neely, the brooding, talented actor who played Romeo to her Juliet in a one-night-only college show before breaking her heart and disappearing from the stage and her life . . . right along with the magic. To save the project (and her career), Juniper and James must revive their onstage chemistry, playing The Meadow's star-crossed lovers for the microphones and social media alike. But as the lines between performance and reality blur, Juniper is left wondering: Can you rewrite the ending of a story you thought was over? Because love, like magic, is a fragile thing to lose . . . and to find again.Author Biography
