Style: Romance Comedy / My ranking: B
This guide 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 absolutely 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 absolutely excusable or significantly endearing) and felt utterly apathetic about whether or not or not the primary relationship would work out.
There have been facets of the guide 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 guide has a whole lot of nice critiques on Amazon and Good Reads), The Rom-Commers fell slightly flat for me. Nonetheless, value noting: The primary character’s father offers a speech on the finish that was the very best a part of all the guide for me. I beloved it.
The guide begins when Emma Wheeler will get what she is bound goes to be her large 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 need 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 set 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 ranking: B+
After ending The Rom-Commers, I used to be within the temper for one thing with slightly suspense and a few twists and fortunately The Drowning Girl popped up as obtainable on my Libby app! I had a tough night time of sleep a few days in the past which meant I learn lots and ended up ending this guide in two nights. The Drowning Girl rapidly roped me in and whereas I preferred the primary half of the guide greater than the second (considerably of a rarity in thrillers), I appreciated the ample twists the creator threw within the combine, particularly the primary one!
