Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan
2.0
Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed the idea of the romance writer playing out the romance storyline format. This was the best part of this book.
The rest of it, I wasn’t very fond of.
When the first “I love you” comes it is in text without any other precursory comments or conversations. Nora automatically calls him her boyfriend without them having that conversation. Those were just a few things that came across as weird to me.
The “as if” comments from Nora are annoying. I didn’t feel like they really fit her character.
The proposal is tacky as hell!
The miscommunication revolving around a lie is forgivable since it stems from a kid, but it makes the poor communication between the adults that much more stupid.
I normally enjoy the celebrity and normal person trope, but I was overly annoyed at how out of touch with life Leo was.
Overall my biggest gripes are pacing issues. Because the book was so short, the romance and 3rd act spiral happened too quickly without much development.
I really wanted to love this one, but it just didn’t work for me.
