The Break-Up Pact

If a YA author sets her first novel for adult readers in the town where the FMC and MMC both grew up, and 95% of the secondary characters are their high school friends, is it really an adult novel? Sorry, but adding sex scenes to what is basically an arrested development YA book does not automatically make it attractive to your new target audience.

Fake dating, viral social media fame, a high-powered hedge fund manager who really just wants to write (starting with the epic fantasy stories he drafted as a teen)...I can't even. YMMV if you've been secretly in love with your cross-country teammate since forever AND your little brother is marrying the guy who had a crush on him in high school.
