I love this book so much. I am a Katherine Center superfan and will read everything she writes forever, but I think this might be my favorite one ever. I love books that have writing and writers and books and publishing as part of their fabric and heart, and this does it so beautifully! A good comp would be Jasmine Guillory’s By The Book, though I loved this one more probably; I love the forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, and I guess enemies to lovers-ish tropes here, and how creative and funny KC is in her approach to those. The two main characters are both so special and complicated — I love how fully and compassionately drawn they are, and the ways that they are able to interact and build chemistry from all of those complexities. The side characters and familial relationships are beautiful and complex in their own ways, and I love the perspective and context that these other relationships and that the main characters’ back stories give to the love story at the heart of the book. I loved this so much. Read!!!! 💜

First time reading a Katherine Center book and absolutely loved it. She has a way with the flow of the story that just work and makes sense, even though there is some stop/start and introspection from the narrator (FMC). 

I DO wish that she had included CW's herself at the start of the book. The death of a parent/accident/and life as a full time caretake is very heavy.
