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?

Review
Emma has put her life on hold to take care of her dad. So, it takes some major talking from her best friend to talk her into going to L.A. to work with her favorite screen writer of all time, Charlie Yates. Charlie has written a terrible rom-com screenplay and it is up to Emma to get him on the right path. This does not go as planned! Charlie is definitely NOT up to working with anyone, especially a no name like Emma.
These two characters absolutely DO NOT like each other from the get go! And believe me…they tell it like it is! But, as you can guess, they do eventually work together and it is a fabulous collaboration! I loved these two!
And not to give anything away…there is one comment that Emma says to Charlie. And when she said it, I almost had to pull my car over, I was laughing so hard. She will not let him open his eyes, she tells him to use “echo location!” I guess the science nerd in me cracked up! Y’all must read this to get your laugh on!
The narrators, Katherine Center; Patti Murin, bring this book to life! Loved them both!
Need a wonderful romance that is quirky and laugh out loud funny…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
