Wantagh Resident K.J. Micciche Wows Readers with Debut Novel

Romantic Comedy "The Book Proposal" Is Now Available for Purchase

WANTAGH, NEW YORK (MAY 16, 2023) — Writer and Wantagh resident K.J. Micciche is delighted to announce to release of her enchanting romantic comedy, The Book Proposal. Named Debut of the Month by Library Journal and Pick of the Week by Publishers Weekly, the novel has captivated readers with a blend of wit, charm and romantic flair rooted in laughter and love.

Micciche sends readers on a journey of clever banter, unexpected turns, romance and revenge as they follow author Gracie Landing, struggling to complete her second book, who finds inspiration from an unforeseen connection with her high school crush, attorney Colin Yarmouth, and his recent breakup. As the connection between the two deepens, the complications of their relationship, personal dynamics and career aspirations increase as well, providing a lively plot with rich characterization.

“Ridiculously endearing and entertaining, this debut rom-com is a great purchase for libraries that will have fans of bookish romances laughing out loud, unable to stop turning the pages,” said Hazel Ureta of Library Journal.
