Elisa Lorello's novel Faking It is set to be released next month, and we're looking forward to it. The novel, out on March 15th, focuses on writing professor Andi, whose love life is about to get complicated with a friendly 'arrangement'...In FAKING IT we meet Andi Cutrone, a 30-something writing professor whose personal life is in flux after she breaks off her engagement. Deciding to yield New England to her ex, Andi moves home to Long Island and new teaching position at Brooklyn University, eager to get a fresh start on her career and herself. Things seem to be going according to plan, Andi's classes are invigorating and she's enjoying the company of her best friend and colleague, Maggie. Then, just when Andi seems to be finding her footing, she meets Devin, a male escort whose client list seems to include at least half of the accomplished women she knows. Devin, totally handsome and charming (and decidedly out of her league), has something else underneath his sexy exterior that piques Andi's interest. So she proposes a "teaching" arrangement: each of them will educate the other in what they know best. Devin will teach Andi to be a better lover, and she'll teach him to be a writer. What starts out as a clear-cut contract slowly develops into a deeper, unexpected relationship. In the midst of lessons in rhetorical theory and foreplay, Andi and Devin delve into profound questions about everything from art to love to politics, stripping away the emotional walls each has built up, and ultimately opening themselves up to each other and the rest of the world.
