The Spanish Love Deception Adaptation: Everything We Know So Far

The Spanish Love Deception adaptation is following the same road the very successful The Hating Game adaptation took. But while this book was from a debut author, the internet fell in love with it and that attention got it not only an adaptation but an experienced rom-com director. Fans should be very excited, although they may have to wait a while as the project is still in very early stages of development.

About The Book:

Catalina Martín desperately needs a date to her sister’s wedding. Especially since her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows—including her ex and his fiancée—will be there and eager to meet him. She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic and aid in her deception. New York to Spain is no short flight and her raucous family won’t be easy to fool.
Enter Aaron Blackford—her tall, handsome, condescending colleague—who surprisingly offers to step in. She’d rather refuse; never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling, and insufferable man. But Catalina is desperate, and as the wedding draws nearer, Aaron looks like her best option. And she begins to realize he might not be as terrible in the real world as he is at the office.
