If you haven't read the Brightfalls series and you're thinking about it- Do it! They are the perfect balance of sugar and spice, full queer cast of ALL age ranges and I loved every book/audiobook. 

Iris Kelly Doesn't date is book three and the last book in the series. 
Everyone around Iris is in love. Coupled up, happily married with kids. She's happy for them however that's never the life she's envisioned for herself. She's perfectly find to stay single, only problem is she's a romance author with no romance in her life to inspire her. With a second deadline approaching she's stressed more than ever and goes looking what she knows will life her spirts, a one night stand. 

Stevie is hopeless romantic who is heartbroken after breaking up with her long-term partner who is now dating a mutual best-friend. Tried of sulking she decides to go out and try something she's never done before , a one night stand. 

One horrible meet-disaster and a few lies later Stevie and Iris agree to help each other but swapping what they know best. 


If you're looking for: 
🩶Fake dating
🩶Steamy / Romance lessons
🩶Save the queer theater
🩶Proud to be unmarried and in love
🩶childless by choice 
🩶swoon worthy romance 
 then you're in there right spot!
