Review:

It’s been so long!!!! I am so glad this was the book that broke my reading dry spell. It’s been so busy lately I have not been able to read at all. I absolutely love the writing style and content of this book. It was just so perfectly sweet while having such a deep set of sadness to much of it. In other words, it was an incredibly well-rounded book. I loved the screenwriter's narrative and how cute and grumpy the lead guy was. Every part of this book was super balanced. I really loved it!

Trigger Warnings:
Parental abandonment recounted, Divorce mentioned, Parent with Meniere’s disease & hemiplegia from a traumatic brain injury, Death of a parent in a rock climbing accident recounted, Near drowning incident recounted, and Car accident (on-page)

Synopsis From Book:

She’s rewriting his love story. But can she rewrite her own? Emma Wheeler desperately longs to be a screenwriter. She’s spent her life studying, obsessing over, and writing romantic comedies―good ones! That win contests! But she’s also been the sole caretaker for her kind-hearted dad, who needs full-time care. Now, when she gets a chance to re-write a script for famous screenwriter Charlie Yates―The Charlie Yates! Her personal writing god!―it’s a break too big to pass up. Emma’s younger sister steps in for caretaking duties, and Emma moves to L.A. for six weeks for the writing gig of a lifetime. But what is it they say? Don’t meet your heroes? Charlie Yates doesn’t want to write with anyone―much less “a failed, nobody screenwriter.” Worse, the romantic comedy he’s written is so terrible it might actually bring on the apocalypse. Plus! He doesn’t even care about the script―it’s just a means to get a different one green-lit. Oh, and he thinks love is an emotional Ponzi scheme. But Emma’s not going down without a fight. She will stand up for herself, and for rom-coms, and for love itself. She will convince him that love stories matter―even if she has to kiss him senseless to do it. But . . . what if that kiss is accidentally amazing? What if real life turns out to be so much . . . more real than fiction? What if the love story they’re writing breaks all Emma’s rules―and comes true?
