SUJIN WITHERSPOON

Young Adult and Romance Author

April 7, 2026

One wilderness game show. Two teens with a plan to win. Three simple rules:

  1. Pretend to be reality TV’s newest, cutest couple.

  2. Ignore any not-so-fake feelings.

  3. Don’t go off script.

Out Now!

For fans of Jenny Han and Better Than the Movies, this infuriatingly adorable enemies-to-lovers coffee shop romance follows two teens who begrudgingly fake a relationship online to save their failing Korean cafe.
