Publisher's summary

To win the job of her dreams, a relationship-prone journalist needs to learn how to stay single in this heartwarming and hilarious new romantic comedy from the beloved author of Lease on Love.

Lana Parker is an expert girlfriend. After a disastrous breakup with her high school boyfriend, she's bounced from long-term relationship to long-term relationhip and even works as the dating and relationships columnist for one of Los Angeles's trendiest websites. But when Lana suddenly finds herself single, she's ready to take a break, both personally and professionally.

That is, until her high school ex, Seth Carson, takes an assignment at Lana's site. Having spent years traveling the world as a freelance journalist, Seth's finally ready to put down roots. Seth and Lana's chemistry is just as combative—and undeniable—as ever and quickly leads to a competition that could shape both of their careers. Pitted against each other by Lana's boss, they are each tasked with writing an article series that goes against their usual dating type: Lana needs to write about being single and staying single, while Seth must learn to settle down and become boyfriend material. Whoever's series is most popular wins a highly coveted dream job. But when the two square off, it's not only their careers on the line—it’s also their hearts.

Cosmopolitan’s Best Romance Books of 2023
BookBub’s 16 Feel-Good Romantic Comedies to Reach for This Winter

“Seth and Lana have instant chemistry on the page, and it’s a joy to read their snarky banter that transforms into something more heartfelt. Their longing for each other, and the obstacles in their way, feel realistic. Ballard also creates a warm and witty friend group for Lana that adds plenty of comic relief. A compulsively readable second-chance romance that’s full of pining and laughs.” Kirkus Reviews

“This entertaining rom-com from Ballard…refreshingly sees both protagonists undergoing therapy for their respective issues while reassessing their personal and professional goals, is one of healing and emotional growth as much as romance.” Publishers Weekly

“A clever, upbeat rom-com that will leave a smile on readers’ faces and joy in their hearts….A great showcase for Ballard’s talents: Her voice is fresh and flirty, her characters well developed (Lana’s unfailingly loyal, foulmouthed friend May is the kind of person we all need in our lives), and her pacing brisk and never boring. Romance readers—of all types—will be immensely entertained.” BookPage

Editorial Review

Just My Type of listen
Falon Ballard became an instant auto-download for me with her debut novel, Lease on Love. Her latest novel, Just My Type, has the best opening scene, which includes an Elle Woods reference that was just the beginning of this pop-culture-filled, second-chance, rivals-to-lovers workplace romance. Serial monogamist Lana Parker and nomadic journalist Seth Carson were each other's first loves, with a less-than-ideal ending. When an awkward run-in at Lana's job has them competing against each other for their own column in a publication, both are forced to spend more and more time together, and the lines of their assignment begin to blur. Full of supportive best friends, sweet moments, and hilarious Slack conversations, Just My Type is amazingly narrated by Tegan Ashton Cohan, and will grab your attention from the first sentence. —Patty R., Audible Editor

Make it a movie!!

This was an amazing book!! I am so obsessed with the enemies to lovers trope. Also, if they ever make this a movie I want Christine Baranski to be Lana’s mom!!

Wishy-Washy

It was a pathetic story of the two main characters going back-and-forth, ad nauseum. Really a stupid story!
