The Re-Write

＂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 Wale dumps Temi to go on Love Villa. 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 autobiography arises, Temi finds herself accepting. And, of course, the celebrity turns out to be Wale... Has too much time passed, or just enough to spark a whole new kind of relationship?＂--
