Christina Lauren’s MY FAVORITE HALF-NIGHT STAND releases December 4, 2018.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even before their next release hits shelves in September, Christina Lauren unveiled the cover for MY FAVORITE HALF-NIGHT STAND, due out December 4.<\/p>\n

Entertainment Weekly snagged the exclusive along with a great Q&A<\/a> that covers the genesis of the book which follows UC Santa Barbara professor Millie Morris as she and her friends dive into online dating.<\/p>\n

Though both Christina and Lauren are long married, they tapped friends and Facebook fans for online dating horror stories. If Millie’s exploits end up being anything like the stories they heard, MY FAVORITE HALF-NIGHT STAND<\/a> will have us dying of laughter and total mortification at the same time.<\/p>\n

Synopsis follows. In the meantime, their next release, JOSH AND HAZEL’S GUIDE TO NOT DATING<\/a>, debuts September 4. It features a Korean-American hero and a heroine with no filter who have known each other since college. They go on progressively worse and worse double dates until they realize what’s been in front of them the whole time.<\/p>\n

MY FAVORITE HALF-NIGHT STAND SYNOPSIS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Millie Morris has always been one of the guys. A UC Santa Barbara professor, she\u2019s a female-serial-killer expert who\u2019s quick with a deflection joke and\u00a0terrible<\/i>\u00a0at getting personal. And she, just like her four best guy friends and fellow professors, is perma-single.<\/p>\n

So when a routine university function turns into a black tie gala, Mille and her circle make a pact that they\u2019ll join an online dating service to find plus-ones for the event. There\u2019s only one hitch: after making the pact, Millie and one of the guys, Reid Campbell, secretly spent the sexiest half-night of their lives together, but mutually decide the friendship would be better off strictly platonic.<\/p>\n

But online dating isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. While the guys are inundated with quality matches and potential dates, Millie\u2019s first profile attempt garners nothing but dick pics and creepers. Enter \u201cCatherine\u201d\u2014Millie\u2019s fictional profile persona, in whose make-believe shoes she can be more vulnerable than she\u2019s ever been in person. Soon \u201cCatherine\u201d\u00a0<\/i>and Reid strike up a digital pen-pal-ship…but Millie can\u2019t resist temptation in real life, either. Soon, Millie will have to face her worst fear\u2014intimacy\u2014or risk losing her best friend, forever.<\/p>\n
