    About this audiobook

    Emily Henry meets Fleabag...and The Bachelor! An irresistibly sharp and sexy dramedy about a cynical romance novelist who goes on a  reality show to revive her career, only to discover that while she may have just met the love of her life, the producers have turned her into the show’s villain.

    “The perfect beach read…a real page-turner. Don’t be surprised if you finish it in one day!”--In Touch Magazine

    “Fun and frothy... endlessly entertaining.”--Glamour

    Good villains make good TV.

    Romance novelist Jacqueline Matthis’s big career has gone bust and she’s ditched the bright lights of New York City for her more affordable South Carolina hometown. Desperate, Jac dreams up a comeback plan—she is going to be a contestant on the 1, the most obsessively watched reality dating show in the world.

    After all Jac is a romance writer—she knows how to pull off a meet-cute and create a spicy plotline.

    On set, Jac quickly establishes herself as a front-runner for bachelor Marcus’s heart, but she’s shocked to discover who’s actually pulling the strings. How was she to know that Henry Foster, her last one-night stand before the show, was actually a longtime producer on the 1? Henry is just as horrified…but they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other.

    As Jac plays the game and the show unfurls, she slowly discovers that she’s getting the villain edit. They say there’s no such thing as bad publicity, but as Jac’s secret plan begins crumbling around her, she’s not so sure. What happens if Marcus chooses her? Worse, what happens if her affair with Henry comes to light? What if, in trying to save her career, Jac has ruined her life?

    Heartbreaking, smart, and sexy, this novel is for anyone who has ever secretly rooted for—or felt like—the villain.

    “THE VILLAIN EDIT is perfect for people who, like me, love mess. I devoured it in one sitting and was left with a total book hangover—it’s the ideal combination of propulsive psychological thrill and delicious romantic tension.”--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six

      Ol’ girl was just too unlikeable for me. She was way too antagonistic for a “protagonist”. I only kept going because it wasn’t bad and I wanted to see how messy it would get. And isn’t that why we watch reality shows anyway?? It’s our guilty pleasure, no? Anyway, it was fine. But I never rooted for her and was very much not happy for her in the end. She didn’t get the “villain edit”. She WAS the “villain”.
