Praise for THE BOYFRIEND CANDIDATE: “Winstead brings both hilarity and heartfelt moments to this rousing rom-com. Readers will cheer Alexis on her path to discovering her inner strength and swoon over idealistic Logan. This is a winner.”—Publishers Weekly, *STARRED review*“Told in Alexis’ fresh first-person voice, this heartwarming romance has both poignant introspection and a hero who sacrifices his dignity when faced with kittens and gerbils.”—BookPage, *STARRED review*“This is a fast-paced, hard-to-put-down novel whose happily-ever-after isn’t what readers will expect; it’s better.”—Library Journal, *STARRED review*“The Boyfriend Candidate catches fire, sizzles throughout and then bursts into flames. Highly recommend!”—ABBY JIMENEZ, New York Times bestselling author of Part of Your World“Mixing political and romantic intrigue, Winstead's novel combines the darker side of politics with the lighter side of life. With a few steamy encounters and a ripped-from-the-headlines feel, The Boyfriend Candidate will appeal to fans of Lianne Moriarty, Ellen Meister, Amy Mason Doan, and anyone looking for a little more escapism in their political diet.”—Booklist“THE BOYFRIEND CANDIDATE is a total freaking delight. It’s smart, sexy, funny and so sharply written. I read it during a personally difficult time and it was both EXACTLY what I needed and a reminder of how good a good romance can be for the soul.”—CARLEY FORTUNE, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Last Summer and Meet Me at the Lake“The Boyfriend Candidate is everything I’ve ever wanted in a romance. Charming, swoony, and utterly unputdownable. I LOVE this book (and also Logan Arthur)!”—LYNN PAINTER, New York Times bestselling author of Better Than the Movies
