Who Wrote Now They Both Want Me Back Novel?

That's a catchy title — 'Now They Both Want Me Back' — and it immediately nudged me into detective mode trying to pin down who wrote it. I dug through my own mental bookshelf and searched through the kinds of places I usually find offbeat or self-published romance reads: indie Kindle listings, Wattpad and Archive of Our Own for fanfics, Goodreads user lists, and small-press catalogs. Despite the search energy, I couldn't find a single, widely recognized author attached to that exact title in mainstream bibliographic memory. That usually means one of a few things: it might be a niche self-published novella on Kindle or another ebook platform, a title used by different writers in different contexts (fanfiction or serialized web fiction), or a very recent release that hasn’t yet populated big databases like WorldCat or Goodreads with consistent metadata.

If you want to track the author down yourself (I love sleuthing through book metadata), try these steps: first, search the exact phrase 'Now They Both Want Me Back' inside quotes on Amazon and Goodreads — those often give author names right in the listing. If nothing credible shows up, flip to fanfiction hubs like Wattpad and AO3 where recurring romance tropes live and titles get recycled by multiple authors; those platforms show usernames and story details. Another trick is to search for the title plus common terms like "novel" or "novella" or "Kindle" — that sometimes surfaces small-press pages or author blogs. If the book has an ISBN, the number will lead straight to publisher and author info through ISBN search sites or library catalogs. For ultra-obscure independent works, checking book cover images in Google Image search can also reveal a cover designer credit or a direct link to a sales page that lists the author.

From a fan’s perspective, the phrase 'Now They Both Want Me Back' screams second-chance romance or a love triangle flip where an exes-return trope is played for drama and maybe a little mischief. I’ve seen titles like that used by indie romance authors who post chapters as serials, and by fic writers riffing on celebrity romance or high school reunion tropes. If the main goal is to read it and you can’t find the canonical author, tracking down a serialized posting or an indie listing will usually let you enjoy the story even if full bibliographic details are sparse. If you’re keeping a reading list, I’d bookmark whatever listing you find (author page, store page, or fic profile) so you have the creator credited properly when you recommend it to friends.

All that said, I didn’t find a single, verified author name in my searches, so I can’t point to a definitive writer for 'Now They Both Want Me Back' right now. It’s one of those intriguing titles that makes me want to read and then cross-reference everything so the author gets their credit — definitely on my to-find list and a neat little mystery for any fellow book sleuths out there.

It's Lili Wen. I see her stories everywhere on those app-based reading platforms. They're like addictive little dramas. She's mastered the structure of short, cliffhanger-filled chapters that make you keep tapping for just one more. 'Now They Both Want Me Back' is one of her more successful ones, I believe.

It's interesting how these stories find their audience. They're not always marketed with the author's name front and center, so it's easy to just consume the story without noting who wrote it. Glad someone asked, because giving credit is important.

Hmm, not sure. I feel like I've read something with a similar title but a different author? Maybe it was 'They Both Want Me Back Now'? Could be a different story altogether. I'd need to see the cover or a description to be sure. This is why keeping a reading list is a good idea—titles blend together after a while.

Anyone else remember a specific platform they read it on? That might help narrow it down.
