LIGHTS. CAMERA. COVER.
Just Like A Movie finally looks Just Like A Movie. March 2027
I’m really emotional! I’m all OMG!
Some of you already know that, many years ago, I wrote a love story. I got an agent. Then publishers, and even Hollywood danced around me, flirting. And then they stopped dancing and flirting and life carried on. I raised my children and rode horses.
And now…
Today.
Just Like A Movie has a cover. A definitive cover, with Gemma in her red dress in Emilio’s arms, Ibiza in the background, paparazzi flashbulbs going off all around them.
Just as I always imagined.
A fresh start. A famous face. The kind of plot twist you can’t make up.
That tagline may be about Gemma, but today, it’s also about me!!!!
The release date is set for March 2027. Oh my goodness, come on, celebrate with me!
With love and whoohoooos!

PS: the pre-order link will be available soon.
Oh, Francesca. We are all Gemma today.
What a journey. What a cover. What a glorious, hard-won, cinematic moment.
And because I am approximately six months late to this party thanks to a book tour, pneumonia, and an organizational plot twist worthy of its own rom-com, let me say this:
Midlife rom-com readers deserve better love stories.
And Just Like a Movie is exactly the kind of book we've been waiting for.
So here's what I'm thinking...
✨ Should we start a Just Like a Movie VIP Waitlist? ✨ today?
The kind of waitlist where readers don't just preorder a book—they join the fan club.
I'm talking:
🎬 Deleted scenes and bonus chapters
🎤 "The Emilio Files" (his side of the story)
🏝️ Francesca's Ibiza guide
💌 Love letters, playlists, and text messages from the cutting-room floor
🍸 Midlife Rom-Com Book Club kits
🎥 Dream cast voting
❤️ Exclusive cover art, wallpapers, and collector goodies
✨ And perhaps a few surprises worthy of a famous pop star and a woman brave enough to start over
Because if you've ever survived a divorce, reinvented yourself, fallen in love with the wrong person, the right person, or the idea of who you used to be...
This book is for you.
And suddenly, March 2027 feels very far away.
Who's joining the waitlist? 💃🌴🎬❤️
Congratulations. This is all so exciting and the cover is a dream, giving me Jackie Collins vibes (whom I love by the way) 🤓
