Eva Kitt never expected to be the host of Sausage Talk, interviewing B-list celebrities over lukewarm hot dogs, instead of pursuing the journalism career she dreamed of. But when Eva’s impromptu public call out of her college ex goes viral, she’s thrust into the spotlight. It doesn’t help said ex is Rylie Cooper, a beloved social media personality that has built a platform on deconstructing toxic masculinity and teaching men how to be good partners.
Forced to confront Rylie on a live episode of Sausage Talk, he offers Eva a deal: allow him to take her on a series of dates to make up for his toxic behavior, then debrief them on his channel to show he’s changed. Eva refuses to play nice, but agrees to the scheme to advance her own career and continue defaming Rylie’s good name. When these manufactured dates start to feel real, Eva has to wonder if the boy that broke her heart has become the man that might heal it.

You've got better things to do than focus on the small stuff.
Cooper's feet? Hot dogs? Who cares? I mean, what even were those multiple choice questions? You read this book for the vibes and enjoyed it, and really, at the end of it all, that's all that matters.
"Wait, was I meant to study for this thing?"
“You got most of the answers right! Which might've been luck or it might've been the taco you had for lunch last week - either way, not bad! You're a reader who pays attention to what you like, and you get rid of the rest. What could be better than that? So go collect your medal–” *stage-hand taps Demi on the shoulder* "Hm? We don't have medals? What do you mean we don't have medals? What am I supposed to-" *Demi drops the mike, and runs away yelling, "Thanks for playing! See you next month!"
