About this audiobook
The sparkling and heartfelt romantic comedy debut from Lily Menon, Make Up Break Up….
Love, romance, second chances, fairy-tale endings…these are the things Annika Dev believes in. Her app, Make Up, has been called the “Google Translate for failing relationships.”
High efficiency break-ups, flashy start-ups, penthouses, fast cars…these are the things Hudson Craft believes in. His app, Break Up, is known as the “Uber for break-ups.” It’s wildly successful—and anathema to Annika’s life philosophy.
Which wouldn’t be a problem if they’d gone their separate ways after that summer fling in Las Vegas, never to see each other again. Unfortunately for Annika, Hudson’s moving not just into her office building, but into the office right next to hers. And he’ll be competing at the prestigious EPIC investment pitch contest: A contest Annika needs to win if she wants to keep Make Up afloat. As if it’s not bad enough seeing his irritatingly perfect face on magazine covers when her own business is failing. As if knowing he stole her idea and twisted it into something vile—and monumentally more successful—didn’t already make her stomach churn.
As the two rival app developers clash again and again—and again—Annika finds herself drawn into Hudson Craft’s fast-paced, high velocity, utterly shallow world. Only, from up close, he doesn’t seem all that shallow. Could it be that everything she thought about Hudson is completely wrong? Could the creator of Break Up teach her what true love’s really about?
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press
“A delightful, clever enemies-to-lovers romcom full of Menon’s trademark sunshine with a bit of extra heat, Make Up Break Up will make you swipe right.” - Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue
Editor's Note
Charming rom-com…
Annika Dev and Hudson Craft are both entrepreneurs whose apps deal in relationships. However, they’re polar opposites: Annika’s app, Make Up, helps resolve relationship problems, while Hudson’s app, Break Up, is known as the “Uber for break-ups.” When the two rivals find themselves in the same office building and competing in the same investment pitch contest, that summer fling in Las Vegas keeps rearing its head. It’s bad enough that Annika’s business is failing while Hudson’s is booming, but when she finds herself drawn to the flashy, shallow playboy things seem even more upside down. Is Hudson not so shallow after all? There’s more than meets the eye in this charming romantic comedy.
Lily Menon
Lily Menon has always been enamored of romantic comedies and happily-ever-afters in all shapes and sizes. Her very first love story, written at age nine, was about a handsome young boy who wooed the heroine with books, chocolates, and a very fat puppy. Now Lily lives with her own handsome boy (who indeed wooed her with books, chocolates, and fat puppies) in the mountains of Colorado, where she spends her days dreaming up kissing scenes and meet-cutes. When she's bored, Lily also masquerades as New York Times bestselling YA author Sandhya Menon. Make Up Break Up is her first adult romance.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Yea this was not it for me. The heroine was insufferable and unnecessarily harsh and kind of immature. The business perspective was just used to indulge into the romance and to me that is kind of lazy. If you say you want to incorporate something into your story make it a believable part of it and not just the framework
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An enjoyable story. The plot, side characters, and love interest were written beautifully. Unfortunately, the main character is the cause of stars lost. Her incessant attack on the competing tech company was over the top and annoying.
