The Book Boyfriend Romance Every Reader Will LoveCaroline is obsessed with Charles Newburg, a fictional book boyfriend from the paranormal romance series she's read six times. She has the merchandise. She's reread his scenes more than any real date. She's basically in love with a character who exists only on the page.

Then, through pure force of manifesting, he becomes real.

Here's the problem: Real Charles is nothing like Book Charles. He doesn't understand electricity. He can't order coffee. He's terrified of refrigerators and thinks casual clothing is a crime against humanity. He's also desperately trying to get back into the narrative, because at least in that fantasy romance world, he knew what he was doing.

Caroline has thirty days to help him become real enough to stay in her world, or watch the fictional character she manifested disappear back into his story forever.

This is the slow burn contemporary romance for every BookTok reader. For book lovers who've fallen for a book boyfriend and wondered what would happen if he showed up. For anyone who understands that fictional characters are appealing because they're written to be perfect, but sometimes the messiest love story is the most real. For readers who want a paranormal romance about what happens when a fantasy character chooses real-world love anyway.

It's a funny romance about manifesting, character development, and discovering that the scariest thing about loving someone real isn't that it might end badly. It's that you have to choose them every single day.

Perfect for fans of contemporary romance with fantasy elements, slow burn paranormal romance, romantic comedy, books about books, BookTok romance fiction, paranormal love stories, and feel-good romance with humor.

Because the best love story is the one that wasn't written in advance.

MY BOOK BOYFRIEND: Where the fictional character becomes real. Where one impossible choice changes everything.
