Happy March 24th<\/sup> friends, and HAPPY 25th<\/sup>\nCLO BOOK!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honey Don\u2019t List<\/em> is out today, and we couldn\u2019t be prouder! This book is Set It Up<\/em> meets HGTV and will take you on a ride of opposites attract, forced proximity, and one true loves! We hope you get a chance to order a copy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish we could reach through the screen and hug each of you. Unfortunately, we can\u2019t, and even if we could, we are all expert social distancers by now, aren\u2019t we? How different the world looks in 2020 versus seven years ago when Beautiful Bastard first published. So much has changed since then, but one thing hasn\u2019t: we are grateful for every single one of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you share a photo on social media, or tag us in a\npost, or send us an email through the website, we are so grateful for the\ncontact, now more than ever. In a time of elected social isolation, connection\nis key. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what a better way to connect than with a happily ever after? THE HONEY DON\u2019T LIST isn\u2019t just our 25th<\/sup> book, it\u2019s also one we absolutely adore because there is so much of us in James and Carey. Like Lo, James is detail-oriented and attentive, compassionate and committed. Like Christina, Carey is playful and wise-cracking, loyal and has more than one Dolly Parton t-shirt. These two characters work for the Tripps\u2014a celebrity couple with a home renovation empire, who are about to embark on book tour about successful relationships while in the midst of a marriage meltdown. Tasked with going on the bus with the Tripps to ensure the high-profile marriage doesn\u2019t deteriorate publicly, Carey and James initially are simply opposites and grate each other\u2019s nerves in such close proximity. But as the trip progresses, and James sees what Carey has put up with for so long, and Carey sees the kind and doting thread that weaves through everything James does, the two find that maybe opposites really do attract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
