The True Love Experiment

"This author duo (Christina Lauren is the pen name of the combined Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings) knows how to write a dang love story, right down to the dedication page: “This one is a blatant love letter to our genre.” And it truly is. Prolific romance writer Fizzy Chen gets cast on a reality television show in the hopes of finding love – or at least the inspiration that’ll save her from an epic bout of writer’s block. When filming starts, sparks start flying – with the guy behind the camera. In casting an Asian American woman as their lead, the two (white) writers clearly put in the work to make Fizzy feel authentic. She’s no token character, and her complicated feelings about love and life reflect that."
