Illustration of two girls holding hands, walking, and smiling. They are dressed in casual, sporty outfits with backpacks, against a pink and pastel background filled with travel and adventure-themed doodles and notes. The text says 'ERIN BALDWIN' at the top and 'GOOD LUCK, BABE!' in bold colorful letters, with a tagline at the bottom stating 'Fake dating isn’t just complicated—It’s competitive.'

GOOD LUCK, BABE!

From Erin Baldwin, author of Wish You Weren't Here, comes Good Luck, Babe!, a sapphic romance adventure in which former best friends Yumi and Noelle must fake a relationship to compete for two million dollars on their favorite race-around-the-world reality TV show. Perfect for fans of Sophie Gonzalez's Never Ever Getting Back Together and The Amazing Race.


Reality TV enthusiasts Noelle and Yumi spent a decade attached at the hip—until one ill-fated night (and one awkward kiss) ended their friendship. After a year of no contact, fate throws the girls back together when they’re offered a last-minute spot on The Adventureverse, their favorite race-around-the-world reality show.

It’s a chance to put their superfan status to the test, a dream come true. Except for a few snags: It’s an all-couples season, filming starts in two days, and Noelle hasn’t spoken to her “girlfriend” in a year. But she already has plans to use the prize money on her ailing father’s medical expenses, and she would do anything for him—including fake date her ex-bestie on national television.

Can Noelle walk a tightrope between reality and TV while juggling a pretend relationship and true feelings? Or will she get sent home empty-handed and brokenhearted?
