On Her Terms

On Her Terms Synopsis

Fans of Casey McQuiston, Alexis Hall, and Meryl Wilsner will fall for this sweetly sexy, gloriously relatable sapphic rom-com which pairs two women as they navigate a fake relationship against the backdrop of Hollywood that begins to feel all too real - from the acclaimed author Amy Spalding. A fresh, funny contemporary romance about being true to yourself and your desires, even if it means plunging into uncharted territory . . . Fresh off breaking up with her boyfriend and swerving away from the conventional, TikTok-ready married life she never wanted, Clementine is ready to explore the alternatives. Not that she wants to be single forever, much less die alone. But at thirty-six, it's time for her to experience new things—including in her love life. And though an invitation to a fake relationship to appease family sounds like a recipe for disaster, Clem finds herself saying yes to smart, spirited dog groomer Chloe Lee anyway . . . Chloe is long past her own baby gay era, but even before they've tackled Clem's parents' anniversary party and Chloe's friend's wedding, the two of them end up spending a lot of time together. As the attraction between them grows stronger, it all begins to feel pretty real to Clem. Chloe, however, is fine as just friends—plus she's convinced Clem is just eager for "someone" to take her off the singles list. How to persuade her otherwise? After all, Clem is starting to realize her life is wonderfully full and being "alone" doesn't scare her a bit. Still, being without the tiny powerhouse that is Chloe, specifically? That's a whole other story . . . Wise, witty, and full of heart, here is an uplifting love story with an ending worth waiting for.
