Lindsay Hameroff
Author of romcoms guaranteed to make you laugh and swoon
Advanced Praise for Rewrite the Stars
"Lindsay Hameroff is, full stop, one of the funniest, sharpest writers in romance. But in her newest book, Rewrite the Stars, we also get to see the depth of her writing on motherhood and fighting for what we deserve. I loved it." ―Ali Rosen, bestselling author of Unlikely Story
"In Rewrite the Stars, Lindsay Hameroff accomplishes a rare feat. She perfectly balances the 'rom' and 'com' in a romantic comedy! I genuinely laughed so many times while reading this book, and I swooned too! When I wasn't laughing or swooning, I was probably crying because Lindsay also sprinkles in just the right amount of emotional moments. Add in a beautiful summer lake house backdrop, the nostalgic yearning of first love, and a sexy handyman, and I was hooked. This book has it all, and I can picture it happily riding along in everyone's beach bags this season." ―Laurie Gilmore, New York Times bestselling author of the Dream Harbor series
"Rewrite the Stars is such a sweet, sexy, emotionally satisfying story. It pairs laughter and very real, well represented, life challenges together in a way that sticks with the reader long after they close the book." ―Sophie Sullivan, award winning author of Ten Rules for Faking It
"Rewrite the Stars is enchanting. Hameroff has penned a beautiful love letter to every single mom who feels like the weight of the world is on their shoulders. It’s for all who have put their heart on a shelf, believing that any chance at love already passed them by. Marissa and Jesse’s chemistry absolutely glows. A perfect cozy read for an evening in an Adirondack chair under a sparkly night sky." -―author Andie Burke
"The romance in Hameroff’s latest novel lives not only between its characters, but also in the hazy summer nights she captures so beautifully and achingly on every page. A summer romance with enough heat to linger long after the seasons turn." ―Paige Harbison, author of Destination Funeral
"Is there anything better than a childhood crush showing up years later, only she doesn’t recognize the boy who’s been carrying a torch for her ever since? I don’t think so! Rewrite the Stars is packed with the nostalgia of summers by the lake, undeniable chemistry, and the kind of emotional depth that sneaks up on you. Lindsay Hameroff writes with so much humor and heart about second chances and the messy complications of being both a single mother and a single woman who’s learning―maybe for the first time―to put herself at the center of her own story. This one had me smiling from the first page to the last." ―Ali Brady, USA Today bestselling author of Battle of the Bookstores
"On the surface, Lindsay Hameroff’s Rewrite the Stars is a swoony second chance romance between a movie star and a sexy carpenter in a lake house. But this story also offers a very real and touching portrayal of working mom life, single parenthood, and the realities of raising a neurodivergent child. Steamy, sweet, and deliciously triumphant, Rewrite the Stars puts Hameroff firmly in the category of rising romcom stars herself." ―Sara Goodman Confino, bestselling author of Don’t Forget to Write
"If you’re looking for a sparkling summer romance to read with a tall glass of lemonade, look no further. Rewrite the Stars is Lindsay Hameroff at the top of her game, bringing her signature wit and charm, a heroine you can’t help but adore with all your heart, and a warm, swoony romance. I laughed, I cried, and I felt incredibly empowered as I followed along on Marissa’s journey of motherhood, romance, and rewriting her own destiny." ―Isabelle Engel, author of Most Eligible

As Heiress to the Salt Fortune, It Is Unacceptable That I, Veruca Salt, Have Not Yet Received a Golden Ticket
First and foremost, I want to say that I respect the great tragedy and all the pain that has come from our ongoing search. Children all over the world are suffering without golden tickets, yada yada yada. We get it, it’s all very sad.
That being said, it’s been five days since Wonka’s contest began, and I still do not have a golden ticket. And it’s become increasingly clear that this rollout is an utterly corrupt and pathetic failure.

Amelia Bedelia Takes a COVID Test
“Here, I made a list for you. Do exactly what the list says,” said Mrs. Rogers. “Now Mr. Rogers and I must be off to work.”
Mr. and Mrs. Rogers walked into the living room. Then they sat down on the sofa, removed their pants, and logged onto Zoom.
My, what nice folks, thought Amelia Bedelia. I think I’ll bake a sourdough loaf as a surprise for them. I do make good bread.

Let Our Student Debt Go: A Passover Story
“Moses, Moses!” The dude with the sign cried out, peering over his Ray-Bans. “It is I, THE LORD your God. I have observed the misery of your people and have come to deliver you to financial freedom.”
Humbly, Moses knelt before him. “O, LORD, how is it that my people are still beholden to Navient? Didn’t President Biden run on a campaign of loan forgiveness?”
THE LORD sighed. “He had good intentions. But since he has been in office, Joe Manchin has hardened his heart. Therefore, you must go to Biden and demand that he let your student debt go.”

An Oral History of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s 1993 Music Video “Brother for Sale”
Robert Thorne (Entertainment lawyer, founder of Dualstar Media): From the get-go, I had my reservations about this deal, and I was very upfront about this with the girls. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: 50 cents is a ridiculously low price for a brother. There was so much potential for higher revenue.
I begged Mary Kate and Ashley to just donate their brother to charity – at least then we could get a tax write-off! But they wouldn’t hear of it. (Sighs.) I suppose some level of stubbornness is to be expected when you’re working for a pair of six-year-olds.
