Description

In this lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers rom-com, two exes are faced with one deadline. Will they make it to the end?

Temi and Wale meet in London. They flirt, date, meet each other's friends.

Then Wale dumps Temi to go on Love Villa.

Instead of giving in to heartbreak, Temi throws herself into her dream: writing. She's within touching distance of a book deal that would solve all her problems. But publishers keep passing on her novel and bills still have to be paid. So, when the opportunity to ghost-write a celebrity autobiography arises, Temi finds herself accepting.

And, of course, the celebrity turns out to be Wale . . .

Has too much time passed, or just enough to spark a whole new kind of relationship?

"Such a fun, romantic read with a brilliant concept. I loved seeing Wale open up and Temi build her confidence as their love story blossomed." --Beth O'Leary, author of The Flatshare

"This book melted my stone cold heart." --Jendella Benson, author of Hope and Glory

"The Re-Write is a delightful rom-com packed with humour and heart. With a deeply lovable cast of characters, irresistible chemistry and a page-turning premise, this warm and witty novel is a wonderful celebration of love and storytelling." --Rufaro Faith Mazarura, author of Let the Games Begin

"This is a novel about so much more than love, it's about changing your own story, being honest--both with others and yourself--and the power your truth has to help you find the best version of yourself." --
Ore Agbaje-Williams, author of The Three of Us
