Ok, this was super fun. I don't normally read romances, but this one piqued my interest. Predictable as all good romances should be, but with a twist. First of all, Henry really got inside our macho male's mind, and made him - could it be - vulnerable!! His back story was a pleasant surprise, to me and to our heroine. Nice!
Banter is perfect here, I love some good dialogue and physical comedy and awkward "what do I do with my hands" types of moments and this author writes them SO well. Here we have the story of two writers with writer's block living next door to each other who knew each other in passing in college. They are both stuck, so they agree to switch genres because "yours is easier than mine!" A new show me yours, indeed, wink wink. I was a little disappointed in the lack, I thought, of research/field trips they did with each other to show the other how it is done, so to speak. But sparks are gonna fly and Everett and January (yes, another book with a character named January!!) make for a really fun, light Beach Read.
See what I did there? I was even at the beach when I read it! Thanks to Anne Bogel for the recommendation, and if you haven't checked out The Modern Mrs. Darcy podcast or website, you should. This one is a bit steamy too, so don't leave it out for your kids.
