Oh I loved the story of Emma and her personal struggles (she was so me at times it hurt) and Charlie just being this normal guy dealing with all this shit. LIKE OOOH HE LOVES HER HAIR AND WORE HER DRESS AS A HANDKERCHIEF IM GONNA KILL MYSELF

Katherine Center does it again! I will gladly die on the romance book hill with her. 
I felt all the feels! I cried, laughed, desperately wanted to grab the characters by the face and tell them they’re being stubborn! I was entertained and hooked the entire time! Somehow I enjoyed it more than The Bodyguard and Hello Stranger. Definitely makes the top ten of my favorite books! If you haven’t already, PICK UP THIS BOOK!

The ending really saved this book for me. The first half was a struggle bc of the lead male character Charlie. How many times did Emma overhear Charlie saying bad
things about her? Serval times.

I did enjoy reading this but the mismatch of real and fictional pop culture references were a little wearing! Also the FMC’s behaviour towards her sister was really shitty and she never took any responsibility for it.

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!!!! 💜
