Chasing Prince Charming Books in Order

The Chasing Prince Charming books are contemporary romantic comedies about people whose feelings refuse to follow their carefully designed plans. The stories bring romance into a very modern world of online audiences, public personas, awkward dates, and friendships that have become too important to risk.

The listed novel, Su-Lin’s Super Awesome Casual Dating Plan, centers on Su-Lin Liu, a reality-show personality and YouTube sock puppeteer. She is in love with Brendan Pike, her best friend and creative partner. Brendan is funny, familiar, and clearly part of the life she wants, but he is also recovering from a painful divorce and not ready to promise more.

So Su-Lin does what an optimistic, slightly chaotic romantic-comedy heroine might do: she makes a plan. She and Brendan agree to help set each other up with other people while also trying out a version of casual dating together. The arrangement gives the book its central tension. Every supposedly low-stakes choice puts their friendship, jealousy, and unspoken hopes under a brighter light.

This is a story that gets its energy from character chemistry rather than grand outside danger. Su-Lin has a big personality and a tendency to believe she can solve a hard emotional problem with enough determination. Brendan has his own anxieties and reasons for holding back. Their connection matters because they already know each other’s odd habits, creative work, and worst timing.

The tone is light, candid, and grown-up, but the emotional question is real. Can a friendship survive when one person wants more, especially when pretending not to want more begins to hurt? The book makes room for embarrassing public moments, competing dates, and the uncomfortable truth that casual arrangements can become complicated very quickly.

Readers can start here without needing prior knowledge. Expect a standalone-style romance with a close friendship at its center, contemporary humor, and two people learning that a clever plan is not the same thing as honest communication.
