The Macmillan-published book is set to release on September 2, 2025, via its imprint, Wednesday Books. Get the details on the plot of the newest rom-com obsession!
What is ‘Rules for Fake Girlfriends’ about?
Avery Blackwell was supposed to attend Columbia in the fall but after the tragic passing of her mother, she abandons her plans to attend her English alma mater. As a romantic at heart, Avery makes a rom-com-esque deal with local girl Charlie while on the train to her new life. The deal in question: Avery pretends to be Charlie’s girlfriend to make her ex jealous and Charlie will help her solve the scavenger hunt left behind by her mother from years prior.
Throughout their journey, pretending to be Charlie’s girlfriend feels less like pretending and a lot more like real life. But things start to get complicated when secrets rear their head and Avery must decide whether love is worth it.
Raegan Revord talks about becoming a YA author
The 17-year-old has been acting since their childhood, first appearing on two episodes of Modern Family in 2014. Over the next few years, Revord booked the role of Missy Cooper on Young Sheldon. But in 2022, Revord began @readwithraegan, which became an extremely popular online book club. Now with 175K followers, Revord is taking the next step as a book lover and releasing their debut novel.
Revord spoke about having the opportunity to share their words in the form of a YA novel, especially for an imprint they’ve followed for years. The actress touched on the sentiment in a previous interview.
“I’ve been a fan of Wednesday Books since I began reading YA, so to have my debut novel be published under Eileen’s expertise and guidance has been a dream come true,” Revord says.
Along with their debut authorship, Revord has recently become a member of the 2024-2025 Hello Sunshine Collective, an initiative from the Reese Witherspoon-founded company, which promotes female storytelling.
As Revord gears up for the release of their novel, the actress and now writer is ready to share the beloved characters they’ve created with the world.
“I am so excited for readers to go on this journey with Avery and her friends,” Revord shared.
