Dev Deshpande makes fairy tales for a living. As the star producer of Ever After, a hit reality dating show, he’s built a career out of crafting love stories—even if his own is perpetually off-script. Then comes Charlie Winshaw, a disgraced tech genius cast as the season’s reluctant prince. Awkward, anxious, and hopelessly bad at romance, Charlie is Dev’s biggest challenge yet.
But behind the cameras, sparks start flying in all the wrong directions. As the two men navigate scripted love, unscripted feelings, and the expectations of millions of viewers, they’ll have to decide which story is truly theirs.
Witty, heartfelt, and impossible not to root for, Alison Cochrun’s The Charm Offensive earned rave reviews and EW and BuzzFeed Best Book honors.
