Tropesick : a love story / Lauren Okie.
"Katie Caruso is a completely normal twenty-five-year-old girl. At least, for the past eight years, she's tried to be. She likes glitter and sequins and flirting with cute boys at New York City bars. She's also a ghostwriter for Meredith Bradford, the best-selling romance novelist of all time. But then Tyler McNally walks back into Katie's life, and that bedazzled facade crumbles at her platform-sneakered feet. Katie and Tyler haven't seen or spoken to each other since the overdose death of Katie's older brother, a pitching prospect expected to go first in the MLB draft out of high school. Tyler was her brother's best friend, and Katie--naturally--was the girl next door. But now, Tyler is a sleeve-tattooed, Ivy League-educated aspiring literary fiction novelist, nine years sober . . . and Katie's writing partner for the summer. As genre conventions require, within a month, Katie and Tyler find themselves removed from Manhattan and instead writing their love story in 'forced proximity' at Meredith's secluded Hampton estate. As the summer unfolds--and the tropes Katie and Tyler have written into their novel begin to play out in their own lives. And despite the years and circumstances that have kept Tyler and Katie apart, they can't help but fall back together. Call it love, fate, or magic itself: it's clear their love story is unfinished. This time though, they'll fight for their happy ending"-- Provided by publisher.
