内容简介

Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it’s no wonder then that he’s spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise’s history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star.

Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesn’t believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, he’s a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date twenty women on national television. Behind the scenes, he’s cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off.

As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they’ll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.

用户评论
虽然反复提及两个人都觉得自己不值得被爱但因此造成的angst太多了到后面有点疲倦。优点是很甜很可爱,而且主角之一是demi/gray,而且故意在不使用标签的前提下提及了很多anti-heteronormative的点(plantonic/romantic love、友情和爱情的重要性etc)。就demi/gray+gay couple来反一些特别异性恋霸权的东西就很合理。而且又是aspec+pan的BFF组合,which is quickly becoming one of my favourite trope.
前半本有些无聊,后半本好甜!
Charlie my beloved(˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )
今年最喜欢的当代浪漫小说!
文笔是我见过最好的了。所有我想要的不需要的它都给了我,但最后的结局真的让我很高兴。绝对值得一读,每一个描写,每一个句子我都将细细品读,直到我倒背如流为止。最后Charlie&Dev forever!我见过最曲折却也是最美好的爱情故事。
