Review for Rivals to Lovers by Elise Wayland. Publishers weekly says: “Charming. Wayland executes the eponymous trope with plenty of tension between her sparring leads”
I got my first big review from Publisher’s Weekly and it’s a good one! Plus, how often do you get to see “eponymous” in the wild.
Rivals to Lovers is out 8/12!
I’m so sorry you’re in this situation!

me to everyone: do you ever think about pizza rat and if they went on to have baby rats that had obnoxious opinions about pizza that their friend rats rolled their eyes at?
Cute crochet rats around Rivals to Lovers
A few months ago, the algorithm showed me a crochet rat by @amazingamyw.bsky.social and I fell in love. Long story short, there’s a giveaway of cute rat stuff (and an ARC!) over on my IG

A duck duck go window with “rivals to lovers penguin” in the search bar. The first search result is rivals to lovers by Elise Wayland, on the Penguin random house site
Something I really like is that when I’m trying to share buy links, I just search “Rivals to lovers penguin.” I hope that someone is collecting those data points to make an emperor penguin romance novel or romcom happen.
Maybe I should use google so it spies on me more?
Get to know my book taste with a trip to my local indie! What should I read next, #romance readers?

A pink book cover with a scruffy man and a brown haired woman looking at each other, each with a stack of books in their arms. Rivals to Lovers by Elise Wayland. The text says She wrote an adaptation of a classic book. He wrote an adaptation of that classic book. There’s only one book deal. A little competition and kissing is healthy, right? Out 8/12/25
I’m thrilled to share the cover of my debut rom-com, Rivals to Lovers! It’s out 8/12, and if you like banter, bi rep, classic books, hot tubs, and midwestern leading ladies, then preorder from your favorite place to do so!
