Welcome to my blog. I document my latest reads, adventures in travel, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

The Rom-Commers

The Rom-Commers

Centerโ€™s books are perfect for a fun and sweet summer read that I look forward to each year, and ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฅ๐—ผ๐—บ-๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ (๐—ฃ๐˜‚๐—ฏ: ๐Ÿฒ/๐Ÿฐ) was such a delightful escape from the real world.

I really enjoyed the humor, real world issues, romance, and a bit of Hollywood that kept me turning the pages. However, it was those heavier and more serious issues that Center presented in the story (death, cancer, grief, panic attacks, etc.) that really hooked me and had me emotionally attached to the storyline and the characters. I also enjoyed the deeper parts about believing in yourself and allowing yourself to love and be loved.

  • Forced Proximity

  • Fun Banter

  • Mental Disability Rep

  • Finding Yourself

  • Personal Growth

  • Learning about romcoms

I was all for the truly undeniable chemistry between Emma and Charlie, and the way they work themselves from enemies to lovers to friends to lovers was such a sweet development. And, of course, the banter was the best!

The story had a steady pace with some fast-paced moments.

This story was a ray of sunshine and I just enjoyed kicking off my summer with another fun and sweet story from Katherine Center!

So glad I got to read this with @mamas_top_shelf and have some fun discussions!
