Just Stab Me Now

By Jill Bearup

Book Overview

Caroline Lindley wants to write an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance, complete with a morally ambiguous Hot Enemy, a wisecracking Hot Childhood Best Friend, and a butt-kicking nineteen-year-old waif as her Fantasy Heroine.

She's got her tropes. She's got her outline. She's got her Hot Editor to critique her efforts.

Turns out her actual heroine is thirty-six year old Lady Rosamund Hawkhurst. She wants to get the peace treaty signed and get home to her children, no romance necessary, and she refuses to act in accordance with the conventions of the medium.

Based on the popular Fantasy Heroine YouTube shorts series, Jill Bearup brings you fights, fantasy, formal dresses, and finding out you can be the heroine of your own story.

Swords optional.

All I wanted and more

If you have watched any of Jill Bearup's Fantasy Heroine series on YouTube, you are already familiar with Caroline and Rosamund. Having watched the whole series, I already knew most of the major beats in Rosamund's story, but the novel had more of her story and much more of Caroline's story outside of her interactions with her characters. The humor and also the tenderness are perfectly on point, and I loved every page of the book.

Absolutely Amazing!

The characters are so well written and the comedic take to the fantasy tropes creates a book that is hard to put down.
