A political strategist, tainted by a scandalous ex, finds an unexpected career detour when her teenage boy band crush offers a second chance at the spotlight...and maybe something more. The first book in The Big Fan series by Alexandra Romanoff. One of NYT's "10 Short Books for Spring" "Highbrow/Brilliant." --New York Magazine. The debut book from 831 Stories, a modern romantic fiction company that prioritizes pleasure reading and the genre's enthusiastic fans. Maya was a rising star in the political world until her ex-husband's high-profile sex scandal nearly derailed her career. Landing a gubernatorial candidate is the fresh start she desperately needs - a chance to focus on meaningful work and leave the drama behind. But then an email from her past sends her world spinning: Charlie, former lead singer of Mischief, the boy band that fueled her teenage obsession, is staging a solo comeback and wants Maya's help to make it happen. Turns out, she likes the grown-up Charlie and his genuine engagement with the world. Maya's not about to ditch her political ambitions for a teenage crush, but if she can leverage Charlie to draw attention to the policies she cares about, shouldn't she give it a try? "Big Fan serves up political intrigue with a side of spine-tingling romance." --Vogue "Romanoff writes with a crisp, clear voice, one that is skilled at indicting the sexism of the very notion of scandal while also delivering a steamy romance." -- EW "It sparkles with wit--pair it with a good glass of prosecco and prepare to get lost in this smart, sexy novel." --Elissa Sussman, bestselling author of Once More with Feeling and Funny You Should Ask
