When decidedly unhappy Edie Pepper DMs her way onto a reality tv dating show, she’s going to realize love isn’t so easily won in this “perfect modern romcom” (Laurie Devore, author of The Villain Edit)–an instant USA Today bestseller!

Thirty-five year old Edie Pepper, a ros loving, reality TV obsessed copywriter from Chicago, dreams of plucking her soulmate from the depths of Hinge (or Tinder or Bumble). Following yet another dumpster fire of a date, Edie is consoling herself with boxed wine and E! News when Ryan Seacrest drops a bomb: Edies high school sweetheart has been cast as the lead in Americas most beloved reality dating show, The Key, and wow, does he look different. Charlie Bennett, Edies chubby cheeked, cosplay loving high school boyfriend has had a serious glow up, and is now a world traveling, extreme sports hunk.

Desperate to reclaim her One True Love, Edie DMs the shows conniving producers, who are more than happy to shove Edie headfirst into the competition. But Charlie isnt quite who she remembers, and hes as desperate to hide his past as Edie is to reveal it. Further complicating matters is Peter Kennedy, The Keys cranky showrunner, who, despite his best efforts, finds himself drawn to Edies every woman charm.

Navigating increasingly absurd dates, Edie starts to rethink everything she thought she knew about love. Is the biggest risk shes ever taken about to culminate in disaster? Or is Edie about to secure the Happily Ever After shes always wanted?

Find out this season on The Key.
