Description
All's fair in love and lore.
Joonie is living in a fantasy—at least that’s what people tell her. Men in the real world have done nothing but disappoint her time and time again, so she keeps her heart reserved for Ryke, the fictional male lead of her favorite romance series, who just happens to be a merman. And so far, her book boyfriend is meeting her needs more than any other “real” man ever has.
But when she learns that Ryke's character is based on a friend of the author, Joonie is determined to track him down and take her shot at a happily ever after.
She’ll need to borrow her brother’s car for the road trip, with the one condition that his annoying (but also hot) best friend can catch a ride to New York with her. But as she makes her way to her male lead, she’ll learn that once you wish fantasy into reality, you have to take all the tropes that come with it—not just the fun ones.
As unhinged as it is brilliant, Female Fantasy is both a self-aware dive into the concept of genre and a wild, steamy romp. Most of all, though, it’s a heartfelt love letter to romance readers everywhere.
Advance Praise
"Affectionately satirizes the romance genre and its tropes through use of absurd, over-the-top plotlines while also genuinely extolling how wonderful and empowering romance stories can be...The whole thing is ridiculous in the best ways...A playful romp and ode to all who believe in true love and happily-ever-afters." — Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review
"There is nothing more delicious than being seen as a romance reader, and Iman Hariri-Kia's Female Fantasy does exactly that and more, playfully yanking us into a page-turning caper filled with hilarity, hope, and crackling banter. With an older brother's grumpy best friend, a quirky clan of fanfic besties, clumsy kidnappers, and psychics—and the power of romance novels—Hariri-Kia shows us that being your own main character takes more than determination and verve. It takes knowing you deserve your own happily ever after, full stop." — Sierra Simone, USA Today bestselling author of A Merry Little Meet Cute and Salt Kiss
"Female Fantasy is fresh, fun, and utterly binge-able. Iman Hariri-Kia writes with a natural rhythm that makes me feel like I’m floating on champagne bubbles. Decadent and dreamy, this one is for the romantics." — B.K. Borison, New York Times bestselling author of First-Time Caller
