This book is an absolute delight to read. I loved every moment from start to finish. I can’t remember when I last laughed so much reading a book. I had the opportunity to meet the incomparable Katherine Center and talked (and I like to think, bonded 😉) over our mutual love for Meryl Streep and the fact that I’m lucky enough to share the name Meryl with her.

All of the stars to this book. This is my new favorite Katherine Center book, hands down. I received the ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review and have already pre-ordered my copy. This book is nothing short of incredible. It has all the elements of a good rom-com, and if you aren’t sure what those are then you definitely need to read this book! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for my eARC!

Emma Wheeler, a devoted daughter and aspiring rom-com writer, has tasked herself with caring for her disabled father following a tragic accident. When her best friend and former boyfriend, Logan, presents her with a life-changing opportunity, Emma takes a leap of faith, leaving her father in the care of her younger sister, Sylvie.
Enter Charlie Yates, a renowned screenwriter faced with an unusual challenge: to write a romantic comedy, a genre outside his comfort zone. Logan orchestrates a collaboration between Emma and Charlie, forcing them to work together on what could be the most epic rom-com ever. However, Charlie isn’t into the plan and is used to working solo, creating tension between the two.
I promise this story will tug at your heartstrings, with Emma’s father’s situation, flirty banter and moments of humor, even some dramatic and stressful moments that brought tears to my eyes. The Rom-Commers is packed with all my favorite tropes, including forced-proximity, grumpy v sunshine, and strangers-to-lovers, making it an easy 5 star read for me - my first of 2024!
Please be mindful of TW’s when reading this story and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
The only gentle critique I have about this book is that at times, I noticed a few words that felt a bit like leafing through a thesaurus. Overall, though, 'The Rom-Commers' is a delightful journey that I'd gladly take again!
A huge thank you to Katherine Center and NetGalley for this eARC.
The Rom-Commers will release on June 11, 2024.
Q: What was the last big leap of faith you took? Or would you rather co-write or co-star in a romantic comedy?
