Practice Makes Perfect
Sarah Adams's 2023 novel is the second book in her loosely linked When in Rome series, set in the fictional Tennessee town of Rome where the first book left a pop star and a small-town pie shop owner happily together. This time the heroine is Annie Walker, a sweet, slightly sheltered florist in her late twenties who has decided that the reason she keeps getting friend-zoned is that she has no idea how to flirt. Annie hires the worst possible coach for the job, Will Griffin, the broody bodyguard her sister has brought in to protect a celebrity guest at her wedding, and asks him to teach her how to be a confident, irresistible date. Adams writes the fake-dating and grumpy-sunshine tropes with a clean, low-spice, deeply earnest voice that has made her a fixture of the BookTok romance market, and Practice Makes Perfect spent weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.
