Books like Fit to be tied by Joan Johnston
Jenny Smith, a spunky magazine critic, suspects her colleague Matthew Benson is stuck in an old‑fashioned worldview. To prove that men and women can succeed independently yet still support each other, she proposes a 30‑day experiment: both will be tied to opposite ends of a rope, forbidden from touching. Matthew, skeptical at first, agrees to the challenge, hoping it will change Jenny’s mind. Instead, the unusual bond sets them on a path that blurs the line between friendship and something deeper, forcing each to confront their expectations about love, equality, and the roles they play within a relationship.
