Katherine Center is an automatic read for me! She writes characters that come alive and that I care for and root for. The Rom-Commers was no exception.
Emma Wheeler is a screen writer who wishes she could use her talent but is dedicated to taking care of her father. Her father was injured in a camping accident years ago so it us up to her to take care of him. After her sister graduates, it will be her turn to take on the care taker role and then Emma can dream about her future. But then an opportunity is presented to her. She gets a chance to re-write a script for famous screenwriter Charlie Yates. She has idolized Charlie Yates for YEARS. So when her ex-boyfriend, Logan, calls her to come help Charlie re-write a rom-com, she reluctantly jumps at the chance.
Emma’s younger sister takes on the role of caretaker for the six weeks that she is scheduled to be gone. Emma packs up and leaves for LA with excited hopes and dreams. But when she gets there, Charlie doesn’t want to write with anyone else. Logan is Charlie’s manager and set this up with hopes of turning this failed rom-com into something but Emma overhears Charlie say that Emma is “a failed, nobody screenwriter” and then she decides then and there to stop being nice and start being real. Can they work together? Will the story get better?
I just loved reading this one to find out the antics that happened in this one. After Emma decided to be true to herself and fight for what she believes in, the story flew by for me. The characters had such depth and I couldn’t put this one down. There were parts where I swooned and was rooting so hard. I’m a sucker for a HEA so I was hoping this didn’t disappoint. I think this is going in my top 3 favorites of Katherine Center.
Huge thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a digital review copy of this awesome book in exchange for my honest opinions.
This is scheduled to release June 11, 2024.
