From the New York Times bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over and Flying Solo, a delightfully smart romantic comedy about finding real love in the age of performative dating.
Cecily Foster has her life carefully arranged: she makes podcasts she’s proud of, protects her team fiercely, and never, ever misses dinner with her sister. After a colleague broke her heart and stole her ideas, she’s sworn off workplace romance entirely. So when her boss finally offers her the chance to host her own show, she wants to celebrate—until she hears the catch.
The show will chronicle Cecily’s dating life, guided by influencer and relationship coach Eliza Cassidy, whose Instagram-perfect advice feels better suited for social media than messy reality. Twenty blind dates. All on the record. It’s Cecily’s worst nightmare, but when her boss hints that saying yes is the only way to protect a friend’s job, she can’t refuse.
Then Cecily meets Will, a photographer with whom she rescues a very large, very lovable lost dog. The chemistry is undeniable, but Will’s future is uncertain, and Eliza’s skeptical of Cecily’s judgment. As the podcast takes off and the pressure mounts, Cecily must navigate the gap between the life she’s building for an audience and the one she actually wants to live.
Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Christina Lauren, Back After This is a warm, witty exploration of modern romance, friendship, and the courage it takes to trust your own heart.
Holmes has created a winning combination of warm humor, engaging characters, and a thoughtful look at modern dating culture. Cecily is a relatable heroine whose journey will resonate with anyone who's ever struggled to balance professional ambition with personal happiness.
A charming, insightful rom-com that perfectly captures the absurdity of dating in the social media age while delivering the emotional depth Holmes's fans have come to expect.
Holmes delivers another smart, funny, and deeply romantic story. Her ability to blend contemporary issues with timeless relationship dynamics makes this a standout in the rom-com genre.
