Would You Rather (Original)

"Pitch-perfect...gives me all the feels, and I love every one of them!"--Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

"Ashley makes favorite rom-com tropes feel new again with a pitch-perfect friends-to-lovers story." --Publishers Weekly starred review

Would you rather play it safe in the friend zone, or risk it all with a modern marriage of convenience?

Noah and Mia have always been best friends, and their friendship is the most important thing to them. Life is going great for Noah and he's up for a promotion in a job he loves. But Mia's life is on hold as she awaits a kidney transplant. She's stuck in a dead-end job and, never wanting to be a burden, has sworn off all romance. So when the chance of a lifetime comes to go back to school and pursue her dream, it's especially painful to pass up. She can't quit her job or she'll lose the medical insurance she so desperately needs.

To support her, Noah suggests they get married--in name only--so she can study full-time and still keep the insurance. It's a risk to both of them, with jobs, health and hearts on the line, and they'll need to convince suspicious coworkers and nosy roommates that they're the real deal. But if they can let go of all the baggage holding them back, they might realize that they would rather be together forever.
