"It sparkles with wit—pair it with a good glass of prosecco and prepare to get lost in this smart, sexy novel." —Elissa Sussman, bestselling author of Once More with Feeling and Funny You Should Ask
The debut book from 831 Stories, a modern romantic fiction company that prioritizes pleasure reading and the genre’s enthusiastic fans.
Maya was a rising star in the political world until her ex-husband’s high-profile sex scandal nearly derailed her career. Landing a gubernatorial candidate is the fresh start she desperately needs – a chance to focus on meaningful work and leave the drama behind.
But then an email from her past sends her world spinning: Charlie, former lead singer of Mischief, the boy band that fueled her teenage obsession, is staging a solo comeback and wants Maya’s help to make it happen. Turns out, she likes the grown-up Charlie and his genuine engagement with the world.
Maya’s not about to ditch her political ambitions for a teenage crush, but if she can leverage Charlie to draw attention to the policies she cares about, shouldn’t she give it a try?
**This ebook contains an exclusive bonus chapter of Hardly Strangers by A.C. Robinson | 831 Stories

- Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseMy first book by 831 Stories and it will not be my last. This book was such a wonderfully done novella! Short, sweet, never rushed, and it was just the perfect read for between reads. If you know what I mean.
I loved Charlie, I loved Maya - I especially loved their growth together and apart! I was impressed that it was able to be shown in 170ish pages! I also loved Gabe & Kate as hello best friends! I just absolutely adored this one and it gave me all the nostalgic feels.... for what? I truly don't know.

Childhood Crush 🥰
Fans of One Direction, Boy Bands, Resilient Female Leads, Political Society.
This was my first read from the 831 stories and I am very impressed. The story was fast-paced with the story being just over 160 pages. The romance was cozy at times, like a hug, and then spicy scenes just come out of nowhere, a welcomed surprise for a smut lover. Not going to lie, at times I found myself guessing it was One Direction Fan Fiction or someone stole my diary and made a book out of my dreams.
During all this, Maya is trying to find herself after her ex-husband committed betrayal and made her look like the fool. Maya is forced to show what she is made of in a society that wants to always blame the spouse that was cheated on.
This is a great pallet cleanser for some more in depth, dark romance novels. Think Jennifer Barkley (From Parks and Rec) just younger, a tad nicer, and interested in local elections.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseWas curious about the 831 books. This is a pleasant bit of fluff that is well-edited (in terms of typos, grammar etc). Characters are likeable. After reading it I put it in my Little Free Library where I’m sure it will find readers. I don’t expect I’ll be buying more of the series soon.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2024Format: AudiobookVerified PurchaseI think this is the next big winner in adult romance. It has the same emotional pull as The Idea of You but without the improbable age gap. The story is set in Washington DC amidst a political campaign which gives the plot a unique twist. It’s sexy, fun, easy, and SHORT. At 176 pages, you can gobble this up in one day.
Side note: Big Fan is the debut novel from 831 Stories, a publishing company aimed at books meant for guiltless pleasure. The name, 831, was the pager code for “I love you” back in the 90’s…clever! It’s definitely one to keep an eye on and I’m excited to see what they publish next!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI loved the character development of both characters and the quick plot. Super cute! Went in blind and it was better than I expected!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseMaya, a political strategist and recovering scandal costar lands a gubernatorial candidate as her next client. While trying to reclaim her reputation, a boy band member from her past comes calling and as her worlds collide, everything she’s been working for implodes and comes together. Can she tie her teenage obsession with her political ambitions?
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis was a quick read that kept me entertained the entire time. Because it is a shorter story it did lack character development but I still felt connected and the story was interesting. The happy ending was so sweet I loved it! 🩷❤️
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book is the full of all the reasons and feeling that led me to reading romance. It’s very swoony, full of plenty of “screaming sweeping kicking my feet” moments. But what I love about it is that is so GROWN UP. It’s modern, it’s fresh, and it speaks to my overworked millennial woman’s soul. 5/5, excellence.

MeganCReviewed in Canada on June 18, 20255.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book!
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase162 pages packed with so much goodness.
It’s emotional, romantic, and relatable.
Maya is a political consultant and is working on a new campaign when she meets Charlie, the rock star she’s had a crush on since she was a teen.
I don’t usually enjoy reading about politics, but this one was an easy read and I loved every minute of it.
The struggles that Maya faced internally with her job, potentially another public relationship, and doing things because she thought that’s what she was ‘supposed’ to do felt very relatable. The romance was swoony (and a lil spicy!) and this short novel had just the right amount of it.
I highly recommend Big Fan!
