I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Rosie is the epitome of sunshine and lives for romance. To Rosie, everything can be romantic if you just look for it. Unfortunately, her classmate Aiden does not agree. Aiden writes literary fiction and seems to despise the romance genre — and consequently, Rosie.
When the two get into one of their classic sparring matches during one of their writing workshops, their professor has had enough. Either the two drop her class or they write a novel… together. The two must write a romance, but without the HEA.
As Rosie and Aiden begin to write, they put little pieces of themselves into the novel. The lines begin to blur and soon enough, they can’t decipher what’s real and what’s fiction.
I absolutely devoured this book and I need everyone to read it ASAP. Go pick this up I am BEGGING.
WOW! I’m so incredibly proud of Katie! Fun fact, I read her manuscript of this book a few years back. I am so happy that she got this published!! Congratulations on your debut!!
Katie did an awesome job of bringing these characters to life. I felt every emotion and could picture these characters so vividly. The banter and dialogue flowed so well and the TENSION!!! 🥵🥵 What a stellar debut!
Aiden and Rosie have my heart.
