About The Book
'A proper love letter to love stories and the people who read them' DAISY BUCHANAN
'It's brilliantly smart and wickedly funny' JUSTIN MYERS
'Like everything Lucy Vine writes, this is a hoot' LAUREN BRAVO
Jemma has lived a thousand lives through books. The only life she isn’t living is her own.
That is, until the day she finds a note from a stranger in her favourite library book. When she replies, the pair begin a longhand conversation about their love of novels that sees Jemma finally coming out of her shell. Is she ready to fall in love for the first time – with someone she’s never met?
Clara has always run away from her problems, but this might finally be one she can’t escape.
Everyone wants to know what happened to Clara in America – but Clara isn’t talking. Instead she’s focusing all her energy obsessing over a hot new actor, starring in the TV adaptation of her twin Jemma's favourite book. Soon, Clara is reading every interview, trawling his social media, and following him to showbiz parties in the hopes he’ll notice she’s The One.
As the sisters fall hard for two men they’ve never met, it’s time to ask the question: Can either relationship survive the real world?

Raves and Reviews
'It's brilliantly smart and wickedly funny, a double-helping of romance with twists and turns that'll keep you hooked'
– Justin Myers
'The best Lucy Vine book yet – I felt so, so happy when I was reading it, it’s a proper love letter to love stories and the people who read them. I lost count of the number of times I laughed out loud – I’d recommend this book to anyone who needs more joy in their lives!'
– Daisy Buchanan
'She’s nailed it again! This is a brilliantly funny story, beautifully told by my absolute favourite author. Book Boyfriend has it all in spades; awesome friendships, bags of humour and a sassy sibling relationship to boot. I especially loved the split narrative from twin sisters Jemma and Clara. Because why have one love story when you can have two?'
– Hannah Doyle
'Like everything Lucy Vine writes, this is a hoot. A comedy masterclass, a swoonsome treat for bookish girls everywhere, and a joyful reminder that family – chosen, or otherwise – can sometimes be our best guides on the road to happily ever after'
– Lauren Bravo
