Style: Romance Comedy / My score: B
This ebook fell proper within the “simply okay” class of reads for me. It was a straightforward and entertaining will-they-or-won’t-they romance learn however one which by no means totally had me feeling overly invested within the plot or the primary characters. I flat-out didn’t like the primary male character (and thought that whereas the intentions behind a few of his actions have been defined and predictable, they weren’t totally excusable or notably endearing) and felt utterly apathetic about whether or not or not the primary relationship would work out. There have been features of the ebook I loved — the roles of the primary characters, the peek into the screenwriting world, the primary characters’ shared love of writing, the epilogue — and although I could also be within the minority with my opinion (the ebook has a whole lot of nice opinions on Amazon and Good Reads), The Rom-Commers fell a bit of flat for me. Nevertheless, price noting: The principle character’s father provides a speech on the finish that was the very best a part of the whole ebook for me. I beloved it.
The ebook begins when Emma Wheeler will get what she is bound goes to be her huge break. She travels to Los Angeles to rewrite the script for a brand new romantic comedy atrociously written by her screenwriting idol, Charlie Yates. Solely when she reveals up Charlie not solely doesn’t know she’s coming, however he very clearly doesn’t need her assist, nor does he even wish to see the film he’s engaged on truly make it to the large display. Emma has different plans, nonetheless, as a die-hard fan of rom-coms and a gifted author, she is decided to make an impression on his horrible script and possibly even on his miserable view about love within the course of.
Style: Thriller/Thriller / My score: B+
After ending The Rom-Commers, I used to be within the temper for one thing with a bit of suspense and a few twists and fortunately The Drowning Lady popped up as accessible on my Libby app! I had a tough evening of sleep a few days in the past which meant I learn so much and ended up ending this ebook in two nights. The Drowning Lady shortly roped me in and whereas I appreciated the primary half of the ebook greater than the second (considerably of a rarity in thrillers), I appreciated the ample twists the writer threw within the combine, particularly the primary one!
