"Be aggressively, loudly, unapologetically grateful."

Another Katherine Center I dove in to because I had a fun time with her last book. The main characters of this book, Emma and Charlie, are both screenplay writers. I thought screenplay writers are just like fiction writers but through this book, I realized that it's somewhat different. They actually have to show through their writing how the director should direct the actors and that's the main difference. 

Anyways, it was a little deep of a book where they tackled grief and illnesses. It's not solely about them reenacting love scenarios (although it's kinda cute to see a fan actually fangirl around her idol). It's really about those deep conversations about their family and current problems. It does balance it out by having the main characters banter with one another, which I definitely love. The main reason why I rated it as an "okay" read is that I find their romance to be also just "okay". There was no angst that I usually love about the book. The third act conflict is also "okay" wherein it did not make me feel so much feelings. I'll still continue reading her books even though this was the second one I read of hers because I did enjoy reading through it!
