This book is so good…’we’ll have to come up with a better word for ‘good’’…phenomenal. I loved the voiciness of the main character, the pacing and the banter. And Katherine Center always brings the depth. I liked how perfectly grumpy/sunshine the characters were. Is there such thing as an Ice King? Charlie’s it. There were a few moments I wanted slightly more resolution on, but they’re easy to overlook because it was such a fun romp. And also kind of meta and, of course, well-written. Queer rep: gay side character. Low steam

Short summary: Emma has spent the last ten years doing nothing but taking care of her father so when her agent calls with a proposal to rewrite her icon’s screenplay - in LA, it’s not only exhilarating but also terrifying. She can’t say no. He’s a legend. And a grump. But a legend! Who doesn’t believe in love, hence his terrible attempt at a rom-com. But Emma, who’s obsessed with romances, is up to the task. At least, she thinks she is…
