This was such a sweet and heartwarming story! As a former teacher, I could relate to Mac on many levels. I really appreciated the ode to teachers in this one. There were many times throughout this book where I teared up. Mac and Danielβs relationship was just so real and raw. Mac is dealing with grief over losing her sister and Daniel is battling imposter syndrome after constantly being made to feel less than. While this was a fun read, it was also very emotional, and I loved it! I also really enjoyed Jennyβs character and am excited to continue with her book next! Read this one if you like workplace romance, one bed, forced proximity, and emotional romances. Definitely recommend checking this one out! I listened to the audio and thought it was very well done!

I don't normally rate contemporary romance this high, but I really enjoyed reading this. maybe it's bc I'm a teacher, but I loved this.

A story about an English teacher and a writer trying to find his groove again? Say less. I was hooked from the start! π
I fell in love with @alliesambertswrites writing last yearβher ability to create characters that feel real, flawed, and so relatable is what keeps me coming back. So when I was gifted the audiobook of The Write Place, I couldnβt wait to dive in. I already owned the whole Leade Park series on Kindle, but listening? A whole new experience. π«Άπ½
This cozy, small-town romance gave me all the warm fuzzies. Mac and Daniel were the perfect complement to each otherβsteady, sweet, and full of quiet chemistry. And the way the story wove in bookish themes? As a lifelong reader and former teacher, it honestly made me feel seen. π₯Ή
Macβs journey as a teacher really tugged at my heartβthose moments of impact in the classroom, the exhaustion, the passion, the longing for purpose. It made me miss my teacher years.
And the narrationβ¦ Megan Carver completely nailed it. Her performance brought Macβs emotions to life and gave each character their own distinct energy. The pacing was perfect for a morning listen, and it turned my daily commute into something I looked forward to.
I breezed through this audiobook in just a couple of days, completely immersed in the soft love story, the giggles, and all of Danielβs moments-

Quick read, but just eh. It was recommended as a cute romcom to me, but it was just okay for me. Too insta-love for my personal preference.

Looking for a contemporary romance that features real characters with real emotions in real situations with real jobs that keep you engaged with a fun and cute plot? Itβs this one! Mackenzie is a content, single high school English teacher until her days are upturned by the presence of Daniel, a best-selling author shadowing her profession for his next book during a severe case of writerβs block. Their push/pull chemistry is full of witty banter and spark, their road to romance not without bumps and wrong turns but does have steam and true consideration of each otherβs feelings and actions.
The single female narrator, Megan Carver, does a fantastic job with both points-of-view, capturing the essence of each character. I appreciated her expressiveness and engagement to her narration.
