ABOUT THE BOOK

SHE WROTE, HE WROTE: A New York Love Story, (Wordeee Press, May 12, 2026) by the dynamic writing team of Ashley Wren Collins and Jordan Rockwell, is a super fun, refreshing, romantic comedy told from two points of view: one man and one woman. An ultimate meet-cute like you've never read before, this delightful rom-com, narrated by both sides of the relationship, is the feel-good book for this summer that'll keep readers smiling into the chilly fall months.

Dating is hard. And dating in your late 20s in New York City is even trickier! Navigating careers, friends, roommates, and life in general is daunting enough, but trying to find the love of your life at the same time can seem downright impossible.

Meet Joanna. Meet Logan. Fall in love.

Filled with awful bosses, crazy ex-girlfriends, a pregnancy scare, a snobbish, overly protective mother, BFFs who get right in the middle of everything, and miscommunications galore, Joanna and Logan have a lot of hurdles to overcome to make it to happily-ever-after. Will they succeed or are they doomed to spend life alone forever?

SHE WROTE, HE WROTE is told in two POVs by two authors. Dive into this couple's story from both sides of the relationship. You'll be transported to New York City for one funny, charming ride--under the spell of Joanna and Logan's chaotically adorable romance.
