6.9.2024 - The Rom-Commers

The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center 

Many thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest novel by a favorite, Katherine Center, narrated by the amazing Patti Murin, with the author reading an extra scene and the author's notes.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!

Emma Wheeler has put her dreams of being a screenwriter on hold to take care of her dad.  But when she gets the chance to rewrite a screenplay that her idol, Charlie Yates, wrote, she's beyond thrilled.  Charlie Yates is famous for writing big action movies, but his latest is a rom-com, and it's terrible.  Emma knows rom-coms and knows she can fix this script, but working with Charlie, who doesn't believe in love, may be too much for both of them.

Katherine Center has done it again - I seem to love each of her books more than her previous one!  She writes with such heart and it will make you feel all the feels, without falling into the sappy zone.  She tackles difficult subject matters without making the book depressing; in fact, it's just the opposite.  She shows you the good that can come from the bad.  I fell in love with these characters and this book, and Murin's narration just topped it off.  Center's author note at the end is a must read too.  Do not miss this one - out just in time to add to your vacation book list!
