susreader 's review for:
The Roughest Draft
by Emily Wibberley, Austin Siegemund-Broka
I had high hopes for this book, and it went a completely different route.
The premise was so good: The authors of The Roughest Draft are a real-life married couple. The beginning starts four years after the authors have a falling out, and they tell the public and everyone that they didn't "break up" because they had an affair. Umm... that's exactly why you broke up. But I trusted them and kept reading.
In the past timeline, Katrina and Nathan have a great working relationship and have fun summery writing retreats to work together. Then you find out Nathan is married, leaving his wife for weeks at a time to write books with Katrina. Then you find out Katrina has a little crush... then it spirals more and more. There is 1000% emotional cheating in this story. They give hints of their feelings through the story they are writing. Not cool, married dude.
Nathan eventually gets divorced (years after things crash and burn). Then when the story picks up and they have to write another book together, Katrina is engaged. WHY. Also, she is engaged for so long to the most horrible human, who is also her publicist.
It was just very messy and the dynamics had me so unsettled.
