Book Description
"I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to." And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of smiling village where the movies from his youth were set. Instead he drove through a series of horrific burgs, which he renamed Smellville, Fartville, Coleslaw, Coma, and Doldrum. At best his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by obese and slow-witted hicks with a partiality for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost: lost to itself because he found it blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a foreigner in his own country.

Book Description
I’m fake dating a romance writer. All he asked in return was that I promise not to fall for him. Whoops. Zane Rosey knows just about all there is about romance. Our town isn’t very big, so I’ve seen him in action with women at the bar. He knows when to say the right thing, where to put his hands, when to kiss your neck or make you laugh. Asking him to fake date me until the guy I've crushed on for years finally notices me was a no brainer. I even laughed when he asked me not to fall for him. Yeah, okay, don’t fall for the playboy romance writer. Check. I blame myself for the rest of our story. I knew what faking a relationship would mean, but I never actually thought about what it would be like when we put the plan in motion. When he’d have to hold my hand, or place his at the small of my back. When he’d kiss me, or hold me in his arms dancing. When we’d end up sharing a room. It’s all for show. I know that. But somewhere in there I know that the guy he is with me, isn’t the one he puts on display for everyone else. The man he is with me is the one making me question every choice in my life. My biggest question yet, am I making him question his? Tropes for Write About You include small town romance, fake dating romance, slow burn romance, and he falls first romance.
