In this #funny, #wise, #emotionally compelling look at modern love and finding your true path, a proudly kid-free influencer meets the ultimate #dealbreaker . . .
It's the influencer's golden rule: know your niche. Kit Kidding has found hers on Instagram, where she gets paid to promote brands and share expertly curated posts about her fun, fabulous, child-free life. Kit likes kids just fine, but she passionately believes that women who choose not to become mothers shouldn't have to face guilt. Or judgement. Or really hot chefs who turn out to be single dads.

Will MacGregor is aggravating, sexy, persistent, averse to social media, and definitely a bad idea. As soon as Kit learns his parenting status, she vows to put their scorching one-night stand behind her and move on. But Will and Kit are thrown together on an Instagram campaign, and the more time she spends with him—and his whip-smart, eight-year-old daughter, Addie—the more difficult it is to stay away, much less sustain what Will so cleverly calls her "Resting Beach Face." Kit's picture-perfect career path is suddenly clashing with the possibility of a different future—messy, complicated, and real. Which life does she truly want? Will she have to re-invent herself? And will love still be waiting by the time she figures it out?

      Themes of personal choice and female empowerment underscore this tender rom-com from Guertin (Love Struck). Kit Kidding, an Instagram influencer and the bestselling author of the book Kid-Free Forever, is immediately attracted to handsome chef Will MacGregor. The feeling is mutual, leading to an electric one-night stand. Though Kit isn’t looking for a relationship, she can’t seem to get Will out of her mind—until she learns that Will is a single dad to eight-year-old Addie, forcing Kit to cut all ties with him to preserve her carefully curated kid-free brand, which she uses to encourage women not to give into societal pressure to become mothers at the expense of their other dreams. But when she and Will are forced to work together on an Instagram ad campaign, spending time with Will and Addie leads Kit to reevaluate her life plan. Will is working to create the best life for Addie after the death of his wife, and Kit, who lost her own mother much too young, is taken with his sweet sensitivity and Addie’s spirit. Together they share their vulnerabilities, wrestle with difficult choices, and navigate the relentless pressure of social media. A cast of wonderful supporting characters, led by spunky Addie, add authenticity and tug at the heartstrings. Readers will be charmed. Agent: Samantha Haywood, Transatlantic.

      Kit Kidding is a popular Instagram influencer who impassionedly promotes her child-free life. Her feed is a mix of brand endorsements, fabulous events, dinner dates with her kid-free friend group, and speaking engagements to promote her book Kid Free Forever. One night, Kit meets arrogant and domineering chef Will MacGregor, who happens to be a single father. Will doesn't fit into Kit's child-free life, but she can't seem to stay away from him and his daughter Addie. The more time Kit spends with Will and Addie, the more she questions her stance on a kid-free life and career. Some readers may find Will to be an unlikable character, but Guertin (Golden Hour) presents a refreshing perspective on women's feelings about having children. VERDICT Women who have grappled with the pressure to have children might find Guertin's latest book relatable. It's a light and breezy read packed with laughter, drama, and spice.--Anna Kallemeyn, Allen Cty. P.L., Fort Wayne, IN
