Quite predictable, but a cute story.
I was genuinely so excited to read this seeing the plot. But I am highly disappointed. I could not vibe with the writing style much. But the character as well as the plot felt very boring and non directional to me. Sorry but the book did not work out for me. :(
The ironic thing is that most of my criticisms are literally spelled out in the book via our editor hero’s notes on the heroine’s romance novel: “Slow beginning. Get to the meat. Give readers a reason to stay. If you bore them, you lose them. Awkward word choice? Drop this paragraph. We don’t need this character. Rabbit trail, stick to the point.” That quote resonated with me, because it so accurately reflected my issues with this book. It’s a very, very slow burn that barely pays off by the end...

So, I'm dissapointed... I loved the blurb, the cover, the idea. But, the actual novel? A let down.Things I liked:⭐ The idea: The female lead is a writer and the male lead is a editor/publisher. Of course, any booklover will love it!⭐ The 'margin' scenes between the leads. They were nearly not enough but they were the best scenes in the book.Things I wasn't impressed with: 🔵 The parts when the heroine thinks that (view spoiler)[ the romance books nowadays have "Victoria Secret-Multi Tasker" fema...
I was hooked by the premise of the story, especially since it was advertised as a rom-com. As it turns out, though, I didn't like it as as much as I'd expected. Why? I didn't care much for Savannah's character (low confidence/self-deprecating trope), and felt the humor was lacking so it wasn't quite a rom-com.
