Okay, so this is the second time I've read this book. Which I realized shortly after I started reading it, but I didn't remember most of it so I pushed through anyway.
Basically I enjoyed it, a good romance novel that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Just the way I like it. It starts off with our main character finding out that her fiancé is cheating on her with another man. She drinks her sorrows away and wakes up in the hotel room with some stranger, or so she thinks. Until she realizes it's a childhood frienemy of hers who is back in town and she is ashamed that she could let this happen!
Awkward encounters with him afterwards, along with a few other details and I am sure you have an idea of the fun that ensues. The book was fun and playful and although it isn't a masterpiece it sure is a fun read.

A really entertaining read that for me is worth 3.5 stars. Now I'm intrigued to read the whole series thanks to this lady's writing style. And if it hadn't been for the descriptive "loving" scenes -that made me squeal and skip to the hypotetical "The other day..." thanks to the fact that my mental age is still of a five-year old and I can't help not feeling uncomfortable and intruding, though I know there are way more descriptive novels out there ("50 Shades Of Grey" I'm looking at you)-, maybe I would've given it 4 stars. Still, I liked the book and it was an easy read, and most importantly, it didn't bore me since most romantic novels tend to do that to me. But I've been getting more into it recently, so that's always a good thing...

I’ve been reading cheesy romance novels from old guilty pleasure authors for the nostalgia. Unfortunately every time I read a bit of Rachel Gibson I am reminded her books are chock full of internalized misogyny. There are zero good or relatable women characters. If you want to bang your head against a window every time a “female” enters the scene this book is for you. Easy to read on a plane though.

The second book in the writers group trilogy. however I liked the cop and murder mystery first book better. This one is about romance writer Claire who falls for journalist bad boy after finding out her finance is gay
