The Close-Up

A new work assignment goes delightfully off script in this friends-to-lovers rom-com from Sarah Smith, author of Faker and Simmer Down

Simon Rutler is the perfect man.

Handsome, kind and smart-Simon is amazing. Naomi Ellorza-Hays might be fresh out of a bad relationship and determined to stay single, but Simon is testing her newfound relationship ban. Good thing they're working together. Simon may be perfect, but he's also off-limits.

There's just one small-well, big-problem.

Simon works as a relationship therapist, specializing in helping men better support their partners. But Naomi can't stop thinking about how she was first introduced to Simon … as the cam-guy she watched in college. Filming him for her new docuseries suddenly takes on a whole new meaning.

Their relationship is … complicated.

Determined to stay professional, Naomi refuses to give in to their sizzling chemistry-until she does, and even then, it's strictly no strings attached. Until it's not. And Naomi realizes that maybe things between her and Simon aren't so complicated after all.
