Summary
There are three things you need to know about Thomas Eugene Paris:
1) He’s a writer, toiling in obscurity as an editorial assistant at a New York City publishing house.
2) He is not a cliché. No, really.
3) He’s been secretly in love with his best friend, Harry, since they once drunkenly kissed in college.When Harry moves in with Tom following a bad breakup, Tom hopes this will be the moment when Harry finally sees him as more than a friend. But Harry seems to laugh off the very idea of them in a relationship, so Tom returns to his writing roots—in fiction, he can say all the things he can’t say out loud.
In his book, Tom can be the perfect boyfriend.
Before long, it seems like the whole world has a crush on the fictionalized version of him, including Harry, who has no idea that the hot new book everyone's talking about is Tom’s story. But when his brilliant plan to win Harry over backfires, Tom might lose not just his fantasy book boyfriend, but his best friend.
