HOW TO FIND LOVE IN THE CEREAL AISLE
By Alissa DeRogatis

What if the perfect love story is the one you never planned?

From the author of Call It What You Want comes a charming, heartfelt romantic comedy about heartbreak, friendship, finding yourself, and discovering that love doesn't always happen the way it does in books.

Ainsley Green knows how to write the perfect romance.

As a successful romance author, she's built her career creating unforgettable meet-cutes, swoon-worthy heroes, and happily-ever-after endings.

Unfortunately, her own love life is a completely different story.

Her boyfriend just broke up with her.

Her editor is demanding another book.

And Ainsley is beginning to wonder whether true love actually exists outside the pages of her novels.

Enter Lucas.

Her best friend.

Her biggest supporter.

And the one person determined to help her find her spark again.

When Lucas suggests that Ainsley needs some real-life romantic inspiration, she decides to take matters into her own hands.

Her mission?

Create the perfect meet-cute.

From awkward airport encounters to disastrous coffee shop mishaps, Ainsley throws herself into a series of increasingly ridiculous attempts to find romance.

But nothing seems to go according to plan.

As one failed romantic encounter leads to another, Ainsley begins questioning everything she thought she knew about love.

And maybe, just maybe, the person she's been searching for has been standing beside her all along.

HOW TO FIND LOVE IN THE CEREAL AISLE is a funny, emotional, slow-burn romantic comedy about learning to love yourself, letting go of expectations, and realizing that the best love stories are the ones you never see coming.

Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Katherine Center, and heartfelt friends-to-lovers romances!
