The Lovebirds: A Novel

Summary

The newest swoony love story from the beloved rom-com star who's redefining the genre—Katherine Center!

Addie Mitchell has put her dreams on hold. To even her own surprise, she took a job working for her former middle-school bully, January Knox—now one of Texas's biggest internet stars. January is demanding, her manager-slash-mother is terrifying, and it's a total detour from Addie's life plan. But the payoff will be worth it, if she can survive.

Then January gets an email from Denton Hayes, long-lost school heartthrob from their hometown, who's now a PhD studying penguins in Antarctica. January tells Addie to delete it. Instead, Addie writes back… as January.

Soon, one email becomes dozens, and Denton and Addie are sharing everything from really interesting bird facts to their deepest worries and hopes. Somewhere along the way, Addie starts losing her heart.

Just one tiny problem: Denton thinks he's writing to January. With Denton thousands of miles away, Addie keeps pretending the truth doesn't matter. Until he shows up in Texas looking for the woman he fell for.

Can love built on a lie become true? Or will Denton learn the facts and fly the coop? Brimming with Katherine Center's signature wisdom and banter, THE LOVEBIRDS is an irresistible romantic comedy about taking heart, looking close, and all the ways love can set you free.
