Tell Me How You Really Feel

Maeve and Finn host a hit podcast that took off because listeners believed in their chemistry. Off the air, that chemistry was real once. Now the two can barely stand to share a room.

Their show is up for a deal that could change both their careers, and the offer depends on the partnership holding together. To keep it alive, Maeve and Finn have to pretend to be friends. Finn wants Maeve back. Maeve is not sure she can forgive him without giving up everything she has built.

The book is a friends-to-lovers, second-chance romance told in dual point of view, so the reader gets both sides of the rift. Flashbacks trace how the podcast and the relationship reached this point, moving between the early days and the strained present.

Alongside the love story, it deals with anxiety, family expectations and the gender pay gap in an industry that rewards oversharing. The central irony is two people who are honest for a living on air while they lie to themselves about what they feel.
