    Summary

    Isabel Conklin has a plan. A career in private equity. A fully-funded Roth IRA. A boyfriend who looks good in photos and gets along with her parents.

    What she doesn’t have is any desire to get engaged at her own birthday dinner—especially not in front of two sets of parents, one suspiciously expensive cake, and her childhood best friend Conrad, who just flew back into town looking unfairly good in black.

    Wry, sharply observant, and just a little unhinged, First Call is a love letter to the best friends who know you too well, the plans that fall apart, and the unexpected things that happen when you finally stop pretending you have it all figured out.

    Summary

    “Jeremiah always wears a condom. And if he doesn’t, he pulls out,” Belly pleads, hoping that putting him into competition with his own brother will help her case.

    It doesn’t. Conrad only laughs in response. “Yeah, well, I’m not Jere, am I?” he sneers, and then sheathes his bare cock inside of her a single thrust.

    Summary

    “We can’t have another baby,” Belly whimpers, and Conrad nods encouragingly.

    “That’s right, pretty girl,” he affirms. “So what are you going to let me do instead?”

    Belly clenches down on his fingers so hard that she has to suck in a breath, the stretch making her eyes roll back into her head. “I'm gonna let you fuck my ass,” she whimpers. Then, because she’s so far gone: “Please.”

    Summary

    One year after a devastating broken engagement, Belly seems to have landed on her feet: five hundred thousand Instagram followers, a book deal in the works, and a doting—if mysterious—boyfriend. Two weeks before Christmas, however, her prospective publisher throws a wrench in her perfectly crafted life: they want to meet her camera-shy boyfriend before putting pen to paper...and her camera-shy boyfriend doesn't exist.

    Enter Conrad Fisher: her forever what-if and the real-life inspiration for her fictional boyfriend, back in Boston for the holidays for the first time since literally running out of Belly's life six years earlier.

    What starts as a simple arrangement snowballs into a tangled web of old wounds and even older feelings as the counterfeit couple navigates the holiday season, but who are they really deceiving?

    Summary

    She considers calling Taylor. She considers throwing her phone out the window. She considers tracking down her laptop and doing a deep-dive into the operation of the Hinge algorithm, so she can decide whether this chance-meeting-by-app was a matter of fate, circumstance, or mathematics.

    (Three years after almost marrying his brother, Belly stumbles across Conrad Fisher's profile on a dating app. She's being, like, totally normal about it.)
