"Mazey Eddings’s writing is authentic, emotional, and intensely romantic! To me, it’s like a Taylor Swift song in book form." - New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood
What starts out as a fake wedding date turns into something these childhood enemies never expected in The Plus One, a sparkling romantic comedy by Mazey Eddings.
She’s not looking to fix him. She’s looking to love him, if he’ll let her in.
Some facts are indisputable. The sun rises in the east, sets in the west. Gravity exists. Indira doesn’t like Jude. Jude doesn’t like Indira. But what happens when these childhood enemies find the only thing they can rely on is each other?
On paper, Indira has everything together. An amazing job, a boyfriend, and a car. What more could a late twenty-something ask for? But when she walks in on her boyfriend in an amorous embrace with a stranger, that perfect on paper image goes up in flames.
Jude has nothing together. A doctor that’s spent the last three years traveling the world to treat emergencies and humanitarian crises, a quick trip home for his best friend’s wedding has him struggling to readjust.
Thrust into an elaborate (and ridiculously drawn out) wedding event that’s stressing Jude beyond belief and has Indira seeing her ex and his new girlfriend far more frequently than any human should endure, the duo strike a bargain to be each other’s fake dates to this wedding from hell. The only problem is, their forced proximity and fake displays of affection are starting to feel a bit…real, and both are left grappling with the idea that a situation that couldn’t be worse, is made a little better with the other around.

Advance Praise for The Plus One:
"This is a must-read for fans of Eddings, filled with moments of comedic relief and steamy, intimate scenes." ―Library Journal
-
"Eddings delivers a heartwarming enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance...It’s a fun combination of tropes, and, as their mutual trust grows, they eventually indulge their attraction in scenes both steamy and humorous. Readers will root for Eddings’s wounded protagonists to find love and healing." - Publishers Weekly
-
"I don’t know how she does it, but somehow every book Mazey Eddings writes becomes my new favorite. It’s impossible not to fall in love with Jude and Indira, both individually and as a couple. The Plus One is deliciously tropey, but also raw, honest, psychologically rich― and scorchingly hot." ―Ava Wilder, author of How to Fake It in Hollywood

💚Mental Health Rep
As always, Mazey Edding ate and left no crumbs. This series and this story are what I love about the romance genre. The entire time you are engaged and want to know what will happen in the end. Mazey's writing style is one I adore, and how she truly and honestly represents mental health is so refreshing. I love everything this author writes, and The Plus One is no different. The story starts with a bang and is a chaotic mess of excellence. The pacing, the spice, the plot, and the writing style make this novel a five-star read. I highly suggest that if you love all things romance, Mazey Eddings goes to the top of your list.
Thanks to St Martin Press for the advanced reader copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
