Katrina Freeling and Nathan Van Huysen, literary darlings, whose books topped the best sellers list. Their books flew off the shelves. If they wrote it – readers wanted to read it! Until they had a falling out and parted ways. They never divulged why they ended their writing partnership. No one knew why they would walk away from their success. Both planned to NEVER speak to the other again! Nathan had some harsh words about Katrina and burned all their bridges.
But there is a final book written into their contracts. They walked away without writing it. See where this is going?????
Nathan is struggling. His latest book has been rejected by his publisher. He can’t deliver a book that delivers like those he wrote with Katrina. Living in L.A. is engaged and happy. But then her fiancé informs her that if she wants to marry him, she will write another book.
So, you guessed it, Nathan and Katrina must put the past behind them so that they can write another best seller. Some things are easier said than done!
It’s all about the journey in romance/ rom-coms! These characters go on quite the journey in this book. Told in the present time and through flashbacks, this was an enjoyable book, but I can’t say I fell in love with it. I would put this in the ” I enjoyed it” category but do not feel I will remember it in months to come.
This book has a lot of polarizing reviews, and I can see why. This was on the slower side for me, and I didn’t really connect with either character. But I do appreciate that like writing, taking care of your private life, working on your relationship, and moving on takes time.
This was an interesting and clever premise as this book about a writing duo was written by a writing duo. I am curious about what they will write next.
Thank you to Berkley Books and goodreads who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
