I have only read one other Katherine Center book and it captured my heart so much that I knew she would be an author I would read everything I could get my hands on.
This upcoming release is everything you look for in a rom-com. You laugh. You cry, and have all these emotions floating around. And you can’t get enough. Continue on for my full review.
The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center
Publisher: St. Martin’s Press (June 11, 2024)
ISBN-13: 978-1250283801
OVERVIEW:
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?
The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center Review
I think the mark of a good reader writer is when a book ends you actually are sad to see it over. You want the story to continue on and on.
This book is everything. From humor and sarcasm to awesome one-liners that keep on giving, The Rom-Commers deliver a story that you will not forget.
The characters are so well-developed you feel like you know them. Friends and family are tight and selfless. Center clearly has thought of everything and found a way to make it perfect. Be still my heart!
This author has captured my heart. The Rom-Commers is about finding joy and being open to love, no matter what it looks like. Fabulous writing and a story like none other!
As an Aside: I do think a huge dis-service has been done to this book with the cover… Does not reflect the story at all 🙁
5 Fabulous STARS!!
