I relate to Katrina on many levels, mainly being afraid of disappointing people and being afraid of my own happiness. This book struck such a chord with me, one of my favorite romance books of all time for sure.

This book is often compared to Emily’s Henry books and I would disagree. Both are written beautifully, don’t get me wrong. They are in two different camps.
The prose is absolutely astonishing. I was coloring while listening to this novel and I kept picking up my head to drink up all the words. It’s a very melancholy, so be prepared.
Also, please check triggers before going in. Can’t wait for this adorable writing COUPLE’s next book!

Firstly, I had no desire for these two to get together. Yes Kat's fiance is awful, but...so is Kat. I did not enjoy her character and kind of just didn't care about what happened with her. Nathan was far more interesting as a character and the wiring for his chapters was a bit easier to digest. Kat's chapters had a bit more of a literary style, which is totally fine, but kept Kat at a bit of a distant.
I did enjoy learning about how the two wrote together and how their processes evolved. Harriet was a good vehicle for showing this evolution and I honestly wish she had more page time.
Lastly, the reason for their fallout was weak.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve read a novel with such captivating writing. The description of each of the characters emotions are written magnificently.
While I was reading the book, I kept wondering if this truly is how co-authors write novels together.
The fact that they authors are married in real life is a bonus. I will read another book written by them. I think they would be wonderful guests for a Q&A session for a bookclub. Mild sexual content. Medium swearing.

I liked the first three quarters and enjoyed the structure of dual narration + past and present.
I found the insights into the writing process/publishing world to be interesting.
