Not in My Book is a Norah Ephron rom-com movie loving romance readers dream. With its classic NYC setting, grand gestures, rival MC’s, heartfelt declarations and impeccable back and forth, this is a romance that’s comforting in its familiarity and exciting in its originality. 

Rosie and Aiden stole my heart with their stubbornness and ability to bring out the best (and worst) in each other. You’ve got Rosie; a hopeless romantic determined to show the world that romance is worthy of time and space in the literary world. She’s passionate, bubbly, vulnerable, quick witted and a dreamer. Then there’s anti romance Aiden; grumpy and closed off but a softie at heart with a passion for frozen hot chocolate I can totally get behind. 

I loved so much about this book but for me, I was well and truly won over the moment these two began to fall for each other as they literally co-wrote their own romance. What a dream. 

what to expect:

enemies to lovers

fake dating 

forced proximity

he buys her books

grumpy x sunshine
