First of all, thank you to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for providing a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. This book was so so so good. 4.75 ⭐️, but honestly might bump up to a 5⭐️ the more I sit on it.
This story is of Emma, who is an aspiring screenwriter but also caregiver for her father, who gets the opportunity of a lifetime. She leaves her dad in the hands of her little sister to move in with Charles Yates, legendary screenwriter (and Emma's favorite), to write a rom-com movie remake.
This is light-hearted and silly one moment, then romantic, then sad and reflective. No spice but the romance was so strong I didn't even notice.
(Also Katherine, could we please have a book on TJ Haywood? 🙏)
