Literally

From the author of Dreamology comes a young adult love story that blurs the line between reality and fiction…

Annabelle’s life has always been Perfect with a capital P. Then bestselling young adult author Lucy Keating announces that she’s writing a new novel—and Annabelle is the heroine.

It turns out that Annabelle is a character that Lucy Keating created. And Lucy has a plan for her. 

But Annabelle doesn’t want to live a life where everything she does is already plotted out. Will she find a way to write her own story—or will Lucy Keating have the last word? 

The real Lucy Keating’s delightful contemporary romance is the perfect follow-up for readers who loved her debut novel, which School Library Journal called “a sweet, quirky romance with appealing characters.”

• Character vs. Author: Annabelle's life is a story written by a bestselling author. But when the author writes in a perfect new boyfriend, Annabelle starts to wonder if she can write a different ending for herself.
• Childhood Friends to Lovers: She's always seen Elliot Apfel as her brother's annoying best friend. So why does her heart beat faster when he's around—and why does her author seem determined to keep them apart?
• Venice Beach Setting: From surfing with her dad to late-night runs on the Boardwalk, Annabelle's Southern California life is idyllic—until she realizes it's all just a backdrop in someone else's book.
• A Quirky Romantic Comedy: Packed with witty banter and fourth-wall-breaking humor, this is a love story for anyone who's ever felt like their life was being written for them.
