About the Book

A journalist and a movie star find themselves as unlikely allies to cover up a murder... What could possibly go wrong? Tropes Include ?? MURDER as a meet cute ?? Celebrity Romance ?? T-Swift Reputation vibes ?? Forced proximity ?? Golden boy x Jaded girl ?? Will they/won't they ?? Healing after a divorce ------------------ When freelance journalist Khin Haymar is assigned by Vogue to get a scoop on Tyler Tun, Hollywood's hottest movie star, it's a dream come true. Tyler has returned home to Yangon to shoot his latest film, and if Khin gets an exclusive, she'll have a chance at securing a permanent position at the magazine. Tyler is notoriously private and doesn't show any signs of letting down his walls. But then one night on set, a man follows Khin into the park. Just when things seem about to spiral out of control, Tyler steps in - saving her, but also igniting something between them neither can deny. As Khin and Tyler work together to cover up their secret, sparks fly, and their blossoming connection crackles with undeniable chemistry and Khin's growing regret. The more time they spend together, the more Tyler reveals about himself layer by layer. And once they find out the attack may have been more than a horrible coincidence, Tyler's determination to help her leaves Khin feeling even more guilty about her developing exposé... Before long, everything hangs in the balance. Will they get away with murder? Will Khin get her dream job?

Review :
Equal parts thriller and romance, Khin and Tyler's love story is ideal for anyone who likes a twist on the classic romance format. Whether it's the high-stakes premise or Tyler's chiseled jawline, there's more than enough in this book to get your heart racing The charm of Notting Hill butts up against the suspense of J.D. Robb...The will-they-won't-they between the leads is gripping, but the story really shines in the ride-or-die friendships between Khin and her two best friends. The movie-star romance gets new life from its Myanmar setting, and the realistic and moving portrayals of lifelong friendships add depth to the story of two professionals struggling to maintain boundaries in the face of growing affection. This is a winning fiction debut from War. With swoony moments and some serious ones regarding the importance of journalism, this sweet yet thoroughly modern story satisfies. Hollywood meets Myanmar in a murder-meets-romance plot... For fans of movie star fiction and rarely seen Asian romance. I Did Something Bad is an action-packed, whip-smart, deliciously funny romance which will have readers laughing, crying and rooting for the characters from the first page to the last. Pyae Moe Thet War has brilliantly combined the high stakes drama of a thriller with all the banter and chemistry of a romance, with a perfect little side order of social commentary. I adored this gem of a book and I'm sure readers will too. I Did Something Bad is a thrill-packed emotional roller-coaster of a ride. It has murder, mystery, romance, the best girl squad, and a hot movie star. I loved it. I Did Something Bad is a dark, delicious, deathly witty story that had me hooked from the very first page. From the romance to the friendships, I adored each element of the story and was completely immersed in the mystery. With a page turning plot and characters you'll want to shout at as much as you root for, Pyae Moe Thet War's debut novel is the best kind of emotional roller coaster. I Did Something Bad was a joy! Great concept and I loved that it was about a Myanmar romance. Tyler and Khin just SIZZLE! Delightful, witty, funny. Pyae's voice is utterly captivating... I was completely engrossed in this entertaining and gripping story in the two worlds of high fashion journalism and the film industry. And, oh my - the chemistry between Khin and Tyler sizzled off the page. It's okay to fall in love with a fictional character, right? I honestly can't wait to read anything else that Pyae writes. Packed with gripping action, swoony romance, and witty characters that leap from the page, I Did Something Bad is one of the most original and fun books I've read all year. I loved it! With MURDER as its Meet-Cute, Pyae Moe Thet War's debut rom-com sizzles with mystery, humour and heart, whilst also deftly touching upon deep, thought-provoking issues! This is a love story that nails every scene. It delivers comedy and heart with swoon-worthy characters and laugh-out-loud repartees. War is a talent, and I can't wait to read her next book! Pyae Moe Thet War has created an exciting, fast paced, multilayered novel that will make you swoon, cry, snorty laugh, feel deeply and fall in love page after page. This book has it all and I loved it!
