Harding is set to be a rom-com powerhouse. -- Lauren Layne, New York Times bestselling author of Made in Manhattan The set-up! The snark! The spice! Emily Harding had me at 'storming the office of her best friends ex-husbands divorce lawyer' and kept me cackling all the way through. This book is an absolute delight. -- Colleen Oakley, USA Today bestselling author of The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise "With razor sharp wit and perfect prose, Emily Harding has crafted a romance that had me laughing one minute and crying the next. Harding's characters are heart-breakingly real, and Bea is the exact kind of heroine I love to root for. How Freaking Romantic is sexy and smart and completely captivating!" -- Falon Ballard, USA Today bestselling author of Change of Heart "Inject this cynical angry woman into my veins!

Emily Harding writes the scrappiest, wittiest, most heartfelt characters to root for, and were all the luckier for it." -- Ali Rosen, bestselling author of Recipe for Second Chances "With biting wit, a tender and truthful take on modern adulthood, and a romance that threatens to burn up the pages, How Freaking Romantic is one of my favorite reads this year. This book made me an Emily Harding fan for life." -- Sarah Dubb, author of Birding with Benefits "The verdict is in: Emily Hardings How Freaking Romantic delivers with snarky banter and steamy sexual tension. This book takes enemies-to-lovers to law school and schools us allon the complexity of evolving friendships, on dropping our defenses in the name of love and on what to do when that new co-professor is hot as hell. (Give in! Thats what!)." -- Nora Dahlia, author of Pick-Up "Emily Harding has a forever fan in me! Hardings prose absolutely sparkles in her delightful yet deeply resonant solo debut. I fell in love with her heroine Beatrice from the very first page. Heart-strong, hilarious, and hard-wired to her principles even when most might waver, Bea is used to being the friend who takes care of everyone else. Watching her relationship with Nathan bloom is the perfect antidote for anyone who ever wondered if they are too loud, too quirky, or just too much. With Bea and Nathans exceptionally original, oh-so-swoon-worthy love story, readers will be reminded that even when life is complicated, the best type of romance should be simple. I simply loved this book." -- Becky Chalsen, author of Kismet
