In this lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers rom-com, two exes are faced with one deadline. Will they make it to the end?

Temi and Wale meet in London. They flirt, date, meet each other's friends.

Then they break up. And Wale goes on a reality dating show.

Instead of giving in to heartbreak, Temi throws herself into her dream: writing. She's within touching distance of a book deal that would solve all her problems. But publishers keep passing on her novel and bills still have to be paid. So, when the opportunity to ghost-write a celebrity memoir arises, Temi accepts.

And, of course, the celebrity turns out to be Wale...

Will Temi and Wale repeat the patterns of their past? Or can they write a whole new story?

Editorial Review

Perfect for fans of Love Island
Lizzie Damilola Blackburn burst onto the romance scene with Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband?, and is back with another fun, relatable rom-com. The Re-Write follows Temi, an aspiring author hired to ghostwrite a memoir for her ex-boyfriend, who broke up with her months before to star on a Love Island-inspired reality dating show. As Temi navigates career and family pressures and Wale adjusts to life after the villa, narrator Faith Alabi shifts easily between British and Nigerian accents to bring this vibrant story to life. You’ll laugh, cringe and swoon as Temi and Wale (re)write their own happy ending in this refreshingly modern take on second chances. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

I found myself not wanting to do anything but listen. Excellent storytelling and performance. I may listen again.

Truly Enjoyed This

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Tami may not have been living her authentic self, at first, however, she is definitely a relatable character. Definitely a page turner, or shall I say a continuously playable story. Took an unexpected turn at the end. I'll be waiting for the movie to come out and the sequel to this story.

When is the sequel coming? Better yet, movie?

Good read

Okay but a bit lame & repetitive — just not deep enough for me. Didn’t learn enough new and didn’t fall in love with the characters
