Overview
- The collaboration, which drew fresh coverage Tuesday, features Gay calling the book “very sexy” with “lots and lots of sex.”
- Gay has outlined a premise about two people who honor a marriage pact at forty, then fall in love in what she calls a voluntary arranged marriage set largely in a bakery.
- No title or publisher has been announced, and neither author has confirmed a firm publication date.
- Outlets differ on timing, with Gay saying the book will arrive “hopefully next year” and Complex reporting a 2027 release target.
- Gay says a journalist’s question helped spark the partnership and adds that Tatum insisted on equal pay, while his prior Sparkella children’s books offer context for his move into adult fiction.
