When is Lucy Hartfield's debut novel coming out?
Lucy is writing her debut now. The title, cover, and release date will be announced to newsletter subscribers first, so joining Letters from Hartfield is the best way to hear the news the moment it's official.
Does the book include OCD representation?
Yes. Lila, the heroine, has OCD, and it's written on the page with care, never as a punchline. Here's how I'm writing it.
What is the debut about?
It's an instant chemistry, opposites attract romantic comedy set in the world of weddings. Lila, a detail-obsessed wedding planner, collides, literally, with Nate, the bride's practical big brother, at a cake tasting. Now they're stuck together through every fitting, dinner, and crisis until the big day.
What tropes are in the book?
The big three are instant chemistry, opposites attract, and forced proximity. You'll also find dual POV (Lila and Nate take turns telling the story), a messy meet-cute, a type-A heroine, wedding season chaos, one bed, found family, plenty of banter, and mental health representation written with care.
How can I get an advance copy?
Advance reader copies go to newsletter subscribers first. When the book is ready for early readers, subscribers will get an invitation to apply.
I'm a book blogger, BookToker, or podcaster. Can we work together?
