Leila was previously a producer on the first season of Bridgerton and received an Emmy nomination for her work on the show. She’s also written for Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet and Paramount/BET+’s The First Wives Club.

The book “follows Harriet and Wyn, who’ve been a perfect couple since they met in college — they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except now, for reasons they’re still not discussing, they don’t. They broke up five months ago, and they still haven’t told their best friends. They find themselves sharing a bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group’s yearly getaway for the past decade, and continue to lie through their teeth to their friends about their relationship status.”
