ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Iman Hariri-Kia is a writer and editor born and based in New York City. Her new novel, Female Fantasy, is the inaugural book from Cosmo Reads. A nationally acclaimed journalist, she covers sex, relationships, identity, and adolescence. You can often find her writing about her personal life on the internet, much to her parents’ dismay. She is a Forbes’ 30 Under 30 honoree and the author of A Hundred Other Girls and The Most Famous Girl in the World.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Joonie has two great loves. Writing fanfic about her favorite fantasy romance series and swooning over its hero, Ryke, a broody, impossibly perfect merman. No real-life boyfriend has ever come close. Why settle for ordinary when your fictional crush is…well, an impossibly hot, impossibly wonderful Ryke?

But then Joonie discovers a secret: Ryke was inspired by a real man. And she's determined to find him. Cue a whirlwind road trip, complete with her brother's aggravatingly hot best friend at the wheel, clumsy kidnappers, psychics, and her fiercely loyal fanfic crew. He doesn't believe in love. She refuses to believe in anything else. And neither is ready for the sparks that start flying.

Filled with crackling banter, laugh-out-loud chaos, and swoony heat, Female Fantasy is an unapologetic ode to the romance genre and the readers who love it. Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood, Emily Henry, and B.K. Borison.
