'I was recommending this book before I even finished it, which tells you everything you need to know. This book just works!' READER REVIEW ----- 'A great story which tugs at the heartstrings.' READER REVIEW ----- 'I loved the sweet love story that came together. Wonderfully done!' READER REVIEW----- Can she write her own love story? Jess is a passionate book blogger whose career is going from strength to strength, but all she wants is to write her own novels. Alex is a bestselling author, but with a deadline looming and his creativity at an all-time low, he's in danger of becoming yesterday's news. Luckily, Alex's publishers have a plan. If they combine Jess's passion for romance with Alex's brooding writing, they might just create the next big hit. The only problem? They can't stand each other - and both are far too stubborn to get on the same page. As they clash over edits and brainstorming sessions, sparks fly in more ways than one... Could their romance be the plot twist neither of them saw coming?

She is the author of Unscripted, a novel about a young woman with a celebrity crush and a determined plan and Girl, Unstrung, a YA novel about a teen violist, and the editor of Walk With Us: How The West Wing Changed Our Lives. Recently back in London after three happy years as a bookseller at East City Bookshop in DC, she also writes the If You Love That, Read This newsletter, and hosts the Brit Lit Podcast.
