Touching. Humorous. Happily ever after. What else could you ask for in a rom-com? Guinea pigs? Some dumbo who awarded himself the best worst nickname of all time?
I truly did enjoy every single character that this story brought to life. Katherine Center was right - everyone needs to love this book!

Thank you to the publisher for providing me an eARC to review! This one is out June 11.
Rating: 5/5 stars
Emma is an aspiring screenwriter whose career was derailed by personal tragedy—but things might be about to turn around when she is hired to fix a terrible rom-com script with her favorite writer, Charlie Yates.
This book is, first and foremost, a love letter to the genre of romance and I am HERE FOR IT. Watching Charlie come around to the importance of joyful stories was such a beautiful and meaningful character arc it genuinely made me cry, and the awards show scene was one of my favorite moments I’ve read in a book this year (or maybe ever).
Also, this book is DELIGHTFULLY funny. I found myself literally laughing out loud so many times (even though there are definitely some super sad moments and pretty big CWs as well, see below). The chemistry and banter between Emma and Charlie was SO good, and I was rooting for them SO HARD the whole way through.
Highly HIGHLY recommend this (ideally after THE BODYGUARD because there are some fun Easter eggs/cameos if you care about that sort of thing!)
