THE WORK BOYFRIEND

Rebecca Mardon

What happens when your quarter-life crisis blows up your entire world?
After a lot of hard work, Kelly's life is finally on an even keel. Her career is stable, if a bit boring. She's in a loving relationship with her college sweetheart, Rob, and they're living in a fantastic condo downtown. All her ducks are in a row. Except Rob wants to take the logical next step to get engaged... and Kelly isn't sure she can move her feet. The only person who gets her these days is her "work boyfriend," Garrett. They've got the days down pat, food court on Monday, Pho on Tuesday, and many coffee breaks in between. When life spirals out of control during the holidays, Kelly finds herself questioning what she really wants from her life... and who she wants in it. Rebecca Mardon is a Toronto-based author, publisher, and teacher. A lifelong reader and lover of romance, she can usually be found walking and reading. When not buried in a novel, she lives with her tennis-loving, musician husband and her hockey-obsessed son.

A funny and unflinching look at how love can be more complicated than it is in the movies. How sometimes the right guy can still be wrong, and the wrong guy can sometimes be right. How sometimes we get stuck in our lives because it's easier than making the changes we need to make. And how the expectations that we put on ourselveson womento want the things we're supposed to wantbabies, marriage, a nice house in a nice neighborhood, a ring can paralyze us. Does our heroine get her happy ending despite it all? You'll have to read to find out!

A masterfully woven, poignant and hard-hitting story about growth and change, The Work Boyfriend will grab you in and not let go until the very last line.
