Side Effect

For fans of Dying for Sex and Nobody Wants This, a slow-burn romance with everything on the line.

Ruby’s job is straightforward: Go on first dates; share her horror stories with the world. It’s a set-up that’s launched her into podcast stardom—all while giving her a convenient excuse to keep everyone at arm’s length, something she’s especially relieved about now that she’s learned she has late-stage brain cancer. But then she has dinner with Neal, a mysterious dreamboat who she actually wants to see again, and he throws her for a loop of his own.
