The Male Lead's Girl Friend

For anyone who has ever dreamed of stepping into a beloved novel, waking up inside its pages might seem like a fantasy fulfilled—unless that awakening comes as the story’s despised villainess. Louise Sweeny must now reinvent herself from the ground up, hoping to escape the cruel ending that awaits her: death at the novel’s conclusion. At first, the task appears manageable, since she knows the original plot as intimately as her own thoughts. Yet a serious obstacle stands in her way. The narrative has drifted dramatically from the course she remembers, leaving her unable to foresee the twists and turns ahead. With the story changing beyond recognition, Louise can no longer rely on her knowledge to guide her. Her only hope may lie in staying clear of the romance between the male and female leads—if she can avoid interfering, perhaps she can survive. But in a plot that no longer follows the rules she once knew, saving herself from an impending demise is anything but simple.
