As someone who has more than once fantasized about a famous person falling in love with me - if you've never done this, you and I probably won't get along - I saw myself immediately in Rose's internal crush trajectory. Rose's run-ins with the Harry Styles doppelgänger, Archie (yes, Archie is supposed to resemble Styles no this is not Harry Styles fanfiction yes Styles is one of my personal celebrity crushes), hooked me from the first page. Soon, she has to decide whether to let her fantasy crush go, or risk her career for a chance at love. But as the faux-mance begins to rehabilitate Archie's faltering career, Rose finds herself having unexpected feelings for him. When Rose suggests a staged romance with up-and-coming indie star Raya, Archie agrees. Public Relations follows 26-year-old Rose Reed, who unexpectedly becomes the publicist for Archie Fox, internationally famous British singer-songwriter. So it's probably unsurprising that Katie Heaney's and Arianna Rebolini's 2017 novel Public Relations speaks right to my heart. And, in my opinion, no one makes a better unrequited crush than a celebrity. To commit to spending your life with someone means committing to the endless work that comes along with it. But the reality of love is undeniably messy. Rom-coms are my preferred genre of storytelling, after all.

Sure, I'm your average 30-year-old woman who has spent a lifetime being inundated with the messages that romantic love is the be all and end all, the ultimate destination, the entire reason we are alive. I never get jealous of other people's relationships. In this installment, Kerri Jarema writes about Katie Heaney's and Arianna Rebolini's Public Relations. Bustle's I'm So Jealous series is dedicated to the books, TV shows, movies, podcasts, and more that super fans are so jealous someone else gets to experience for the first time.
