Reviews"As a fan of Grey's Anatomy (and Chicago Med!), I couldn't put down On Rotation, and you won't be able to, either. Shirlene Obuobi makes you feel as if you're actually right there with the lovable Angie, and I personally couldn't get enough." -- Meg Cabot "Smart, funny, and utterly swoonworthy, On Rotation is a layered and deeply compassionate novel of navigating life and love in your twenties. Angie Appiah will be your new best friend." -- Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief "On Rotation is a charming story from start to finish. The ending will melt your heart!" -- Tracey Livesay, award-winning author of American Royalty "On Rotation by Shirlene Obuobi is part rom-com, part coming-of-age story--a book so full of life that I badly missed Angie, Obuobi's protagonist, the moment I finished. It's been a rough couple of years for all of us, so scoop up this completely delightful debut for a shot of joy." -- Marie Claire "Obuobi's debut features a winning cast of characters who alternatively help and hinder Angie, whose first-person narration is warm and relatable...Obuobi ably navigates plot twists and emotional turns while addressing millennial angst and issues facing Black women. A funny, emotional page-turner that will have readers rooting for Angie." -- Booklist (starred review) for On Rotation "Humor and honesty leap off the pages of this addictive read. A binge-worthy romance with a hilarious and relatable heroine that will steal your heart from the first sentence." -- Jane Igharo, author of Ties That Tether "Narrated by a strong lead with an unforgettable voice, On Rotation is an original romance novel bursting with charm, humor and the most loveable characters. I'm besotted with Angie and her posse!" -- Lizzie Damilola Blackburn, author of Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? Fresh, romantic, and hilarious... The story of a Ghanian-American medical student, On Rotation is whip-smart and sharply observed, filled with laugh-out-loud moments while not shying away from heavier issues. With On Rotation, Shirlene Obuobi establishes herself as a writer to watch." -- Brenda Janowitz, author of The Liz Taylor Ring "Author Obuobi, a physician and cartoonist, is in her wheelhouse chronicling the hectic, and sometimes solitary, life of a medical student. The often witty footnotes, frequently describing medical jargon or Ghanaian traditions, add an amusing flair to Angie's personality, but the novel's true strength shines in its more serious moments... Guaranteed to make your heart beat faster." -- Kirkus Reviews "This effervescent story is a treat." -- Publishers Weekly "A genuine delight from start to finish, On Rotation will appeal to fans of Rainbow Rowell, Talia Hibbert and Ali Hazelwood, and resonate with any reader who enjoys multicultural, multi-faceted, inclusive love stories starring unapologetically strong and complex women." -- BookPage "Obuobi offers a thoughtful storyline that just about every young person can relate to." -- Popsugar

Synopsis"Between Friends & Lovers was an absolute joy to read, with messy, realistic, and deeply lovable characters... Obuobi's perfect balance of humor and wisdom made this one a true standout." -- Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author An influencer, an actor, and a writer navigate the messy ins and outs of friendship and romance in a world where social media demands perfection--or at least the appearance of it--in this swoon-worthy love story for readers of Kennedy Ryan and Carley Fortune. To her thousands of Instagram followers, Josephine Boateng is the brilliant, dazzling self-love expert, Dr. Jojo. But off-camera, Jo's grappling with the intense pressures of her career and her love life is nonexistent thanks to an unrequited crush on her best friend, rom-com heartthrob Ezra Adelman. Then Ezra shows up to his thirtieth birthday party with her childhood bully on his arm--and Jo realizes it's finally time to take her own advice. Enter Malcom Waters, the world's newest literary darling. An introvert by nature, he would rather be home than trying to impress execs and celebs at a swanky Hollywood party. Until he bumps into Jo, and the two of them quickly realize their chemistry is too good to ignore. But for all three, the line between private and public is as blurred as the one between friendship and love--especially when Ezra decides he might want something more with Jo. The question is, can any of them risk defining those lines to create something real?
