The Last Word by Katy Birchall
4.0

Another great book from Katy Birchall. This one doesn’t have a wedding setting. Instead, our narrator Harper is the celebrity editor at a print magazine who is known for her empathetic and insightful interviews. Unfortunately Harper’s boss, Cosmo, fails to see the value in her work. When Cosmo hires Ryan to be the new features editor and begins assigning Harper’s stories to Ryan, she is dismayed. Especially since Harper and Ryan knew each other a decade ago, and she cannot stand him. This is a second chance romance with enemies to lovers trope. The comparison to the Hating Game is accurate although I liked this book more. If you enjoy contemporary romantic fiction this is a great pick. I would also recommend Birchall’s earlier book The Wedding Season.
