Unfortunately this did nothing for me. Or maybe the opposite since it kinda just annoyed me.

It was trying so hard to be an Emily Henry book. I am so sorry to these authors. But this was definitely not it, in any universe. The characters were flat and most importantly DUMB, the romance was on a ventilator about to die, the plot was bad… everything was mediocre. The writing itself wasn’t even that great, which is unfortunate. I can like a book even if the characters and plot aren’t quite there as long as the writing is decent. But the main couple weren’t even entertaining even though they supposedly entertained people for a living with their words. Also, the side characters were the worst. I don’t know how any of this made it to the final draft. I’m so sorry…….

Loved this one so much. Tender and funny and so sweet. I love books about writers/book people so much, and a second chance rom-com is my absolute favorite, and this was such an extra lovely version of both! (Also love a dual perspective and a dual timeline novel, and this does both of THOSE really well too!) I love the main characters, how well-drawn and complicated they are, and how their conflicts feel true and deep to who the characters are at different moments in their lives. Can’t wait to read more from these authors. ❤️

Oh the angst! Once best friends and writing partners, Katrina and Nathan are now near strangers. They begrudgingly reunite to co-author one last book together after abruptly breaking their partnership on bad terms four years prior.  Living in the same house for weeks while they complete their contract, they are forced to confront their past feelings and determine what was real and what was just fiction.

The story is told in dual POV and goes back and forth in the then vs. now timeline, slowly revealing to the reader what actually happened all those years ago. I enjoyed the glimpse into the writing and publishing proces and think Katrina and Nathan are both likable, albeit flawed, characters. 

There are a few personal preference things I didn't LOVE, though they were *mostly* important to the story, so I can understand their inclusion. Overall, I enjoyed reading how their story unfolded!

Content: divorce, pining while in another relationship, occasional language, a mostly non-descriptive open door scene

I really had to push myself through the book. It took what too long to find out why everyone was angry with each other.
reading all the depression & anixity & toxic relationship Kat was in I really didn't think jumping into a relationship with Nathan was a good idea. Sure she's seeing a theapist in the Epilogue but it wasn't enough for me. I also didn't really feel why the main couple was in love now or in the past. I guess their great skill of writing together was suppose to mean more to me then it did.
