Unlikely Story is March 1st!

Praise for Unlikely Story

I’m so excited to share my next novel with you! It’s coming in March of 2025.

And don’t just take my (very biased) word for it. This is what some of my favorite authors had to say:

“With delicious hidden identities, nuanced characters, and yearning romance, Unlikely Story feels like New York in the fall. Ali Rosen captures the complexities of coming into your own. It’s a therapy session and a love letter to New York, all in one book.” - Julie Soto, USA Today Bestselling Author of Not Another Love Song

Unlikely Story is the book equivalent of finding the perfect tomatoes at the farmer’s market, going for a walk with a delightfully dorky man and getting a bite of fresh-out-of-the-oven strawberry-rhubarb cornbread. In other words, the perfect read!  — Ali Brady, USA Today Bestselling Author of Until Next Summer

“I adored Unlikely Story—Ali Rosen packs every page with heart and humor. Featuring lovable and relatable characters, amusing scenarios, and thought-provoking insights, Rosen’s slow-burn romance is proof that love can be found in the unlikeliest of places.” — Lauren Kung Jessen, author of Red String Theory

“Ali Rosen has such a knack for creating deeply relatable heroines that ground her stories in emotional truths. Come for the most charming cast of  New York neighbors ever depicted in a novel, stay for an extraordinarily well-earned love story.” — Kate Goldbeck, bestselling author of You, Again

Synopsis

From the bestselling author of Recipe for Second Chances comes a swoonworthy romance bursting with wit about a therapist who falls for the wrong man…but perhaps the right one was hiding in the margins all along.

As a relationship therapist, Nora helps patients explore their feelings honestly. But she’s hiding an embarrassing relationship secret of her own: she’s in love with someone she’s never even met.

J edits the advice column Nora’s been writing anonymously for the last seven years. He’s in London, she’s in New York, and they communicate solely through shared files. When he confides that his girlfriend’s out of the picture, and her boss asks her to come to London, Nora takes both as a sign.

But that’s not the only thing on her mind. A client’s ex-boyfriend just moved into her co-op, directly beneath her. Eli blames Nora for his breakup and seems determined to make her life miserable, gleefully planning a noisy renovation.

Yet despite all his bluster, Nora eventually starts to see the softness behind Eli’s brusque, charming exterior…and after a slipup reveals a startling secret, Nora wonders whether someone can be two things at once.
