The Re-Write

  • Lizzie Damilola Blackburn




Two exes. One deadline. Can 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 memoir 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?

Praise for The Re-Write

The spiritual heir to Bridget Jones's Diary, while bringing something entirely fresh and modern to the table

Emily Henry on Yinka, Where is Your Huzband?

Warm and fun and sweet

Marian Keyes on Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband?

Such a fun, romantic read with a brilliant concept. I loved seeing Wale open up and Temi build her confidence as their love story blossomed

Beth O'Leary, author of The Flatshare

This is novel about so much more than love, it’s about changing your own story, being honest – both with others and yourself – and the power your truth has to help you find the best version of yourself

Ore Agbaje-Williams, author of The Three of Us

This book melted my stone cold heart

Jendella Benson, author of Hope and Glory

A delightful romcom packed with humour and heart. With a deeply lovable cast of characters, irresistible chemistry and a page turning premise, this warm and witty novel is a wonderful celebration of love and storytelling

Rufaro Faith Mazarura, author of Let The Games Begin
