About this listen

In this lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers rom-com, two exes are faced with one deadline. Will they make it to the end?

Temi and Wale meet in London. They flirt, date, meet each other's friends.

. . . Then Wale dumps Temi to go on Love Villa.

Instead of giving in to heartbreak, Temi throws herself into her dream: writing. She's within touching distance of a book deal that would solve all her problems. But publishers keep passing on her novel and bills still have to be paid. So, when the opportunity to ghost-write a celebrity autobiography arises, Temi finds herself accepting.

And, of course, the celebrity turns out to be Wale...

Has too much time passed, or just enough to spark a whole new kind of relationship?

Editorial Review

Perfect for fans of Love Island
Lizzie Damilola Blackburn burst onto the romance scene with Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband?, and is back with another fun, relatable rom-com. The Re-Write follows Temi, an aspiring author hired to ghostwrite a memoir for her ex-boyfriend, who broke up with her months before to star on a Love Island-inspired reality dating show. As Temi navigates career and family pressures and Wale adjusts to life after the villa, narrator Faith Alabi shifts easily between British and Nigerian accents to bring this vibrant story to life. You’ll laugh, cringe and swoon as Temi and Wale (re)write their own happy ending in this refreshingly modern take on second chances. —Margaret H., Audible Editor
