What is This Book About? Emma Wheeler desperately longs to be a screenwriter and has spent her life studying, obsessing over, and writing romantic comedies but she’s also been the sole caretaker for her dad who needs full-time care. Now, when she gets a chance to re-write a script for famous screenwriter Charlie Yates it’s an opportunity too big to pass up. Emma quickly realizes sometimes its best not to meet your heroes since Charlie Yates doesn’t want to write with anyone and what’s worse is the romantic comedy he’s written is so terrible it might actually bring on the apocalypse. Emma’s is determined to make this work but what if the love story they’re writing breaks all Emma’s rules―and comes true? – Annotation from the publisher
My Review: Katherine Center has quickly become an auto-buy author for me because she writes insanely lovable, flawed, relatable characters you cannot help but want to know more about. Her writing definitely leans more towards women’s fiction with romance being prevalent but not the entire focus of the book. She delves heavily into her characters backgrounds and family lives that you immediately feel invested in them as a person. Would recommend to any romance reader who wants to read about a non-traditional take on love.
