This book is a RomCom book(Romance comedy). Read if you love laughing.馃槉 CURRENTLY EDITING AND WORKING ON RE-WRITING. PLEASE IGNORE SOME IMMATURE THINGS THAT THE CHARACTERS EXHIBIT. I'LL BE RE-WRITING THE BOOK AS SOON AS SCHOOL STRESS REDUCES A TAD BIT. Mia Montana has always had the fantasy of a perfect ever after. She believes she can find that in Dayne Matthews her current boyfriend. He is just that perfect person. It's him or no other. Jason Steele New York's most eligible billionaire bachelor. He is every ladies dream. But the problem is, he isn't looking for a long term commitment. Being a product of a failed marriage he believes love doesn't exist. Jason and Mia's grandfathers are best friends. When Mia's grandpa suffers from a mild heart attack, he realizes that there isn't much time left. But he has a wish, to see his grand daughter walk down the aisle. The problem is; he thinks Dayne isn't that man. He arranges with his best friend to match-make their grand children on the pretext of merging their companies. Jason and Mia refuse to compromise. So they strike a deal with them. "You both will live together for 30 days, if you don't fall in love with each other within those 30 days. You both can go your separate ways and marry whoever you want to marry". Found in between the devil and the blue sea, they both agree. Mia feels she is in love with someone already, so loving Jason will be totally impossible. But life isn't how it seems like always. They are yet to discover love isn't a matter of choice but a matter of the heart. Disclaimer- I know that this book has lots of plot holes, and all that. Trust me when I say I'm definitely working on it. I haven't fully gotten around editing it 'cause how busy life is at the moment. Note that, this book is my first book ever as a writer and as such has stuff that needs to be worked on. If you want to read a really thought out work, you can read my other books. I do hope you all understand.

[ongoing] [18+] Dear Diary, it's me, Lola. I'm still stuck in a relationship with Ivan. Do I love him? Maybe. Am I in love with him? No. And his friends are constantly hanging in our apartment making it harder for me to deal with all the personalities living in my head. Especially HIM - Michael, my boyfriend's best friend! A classic arrogant, selfish, manipulative player, a walking red flag who thinks he can have any girl in the world. Okay, he probably can, and maybe I'm just jealous of his freedom and the ease with which he gets whatever he wants. I wonder if he could have me too... Oh God, brain, stop! I hate him, for heaven's sake! I can't let him get into my head, so I always avoid eye contact with him. If Medusa were a man, he would look like Michael. *** After facing heartbreaks and unfulfilled loves, Lola settles down with what seems like the perfect boyfriend: he's loaded, easy on the eyes, and has a degree to flaunt. He sweeps her into a world of constant parties and upscale living, but for Lola, it's all just meh. She's depressed, experiences constant mood swings, and hides her true self from everyone. In her diary, she doesn't describe the luxury that surrounds her because she despises money. Amidst battling her inner demons and trying to escape a relationship that's playing on repeat, another plot twist kicks in - her boyfriend's best friend. His charm and playful banter aren't making it any easier for Lola to keep her heart on lockdown. Now, she's stuck in a moral struggle: whether to surrender to the first positive feeling she's had in a long time or stick to the script of reason and steer clear of this dangerous attraction. *Based on the true story*
