‘A big hit of dopamine’ EMILY GIFFIN


*The instant New York Times bestseller!*

****

She’s rewriting his love story. But can she rewrite her own?

Emma has big dreams, though she hasn’t let herself think about them in years. Until her big break comes along: she’s offered the chance to write a screenplay with none other than her hero, Charlie-freaking-Yates! And it’s a rom-com! It’s the dream… Until reality sets in.

Charlie is a bonafide Hollywood movie-writing legend. He’s also, as it turns out, kind of a jerk. He’s only writing this movie to get a Mafia movie that he actually cares about made. And that’s not even the worst of it: Charlie doesn’t like rom-coms because he doesn’t believe in love.

But Emma’s not going down without a fight. She’s determined to finally make her dreams come true by helping Charlie write a kick-ass screenplay. But first she has to make him understand rom-coms… And the more she tries to teach him about love, the more real it all starts to seem.

Can Emma really write her dreams into reality? Or was it all fiction after all?

Reviews

BookTrib
The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center is a delightful, hilarious love story that fans of Emily Henry will be eager to dive into this summer
Emily Giffin
For a good cry, many laughs and a big hit of dopamine, read The Rom-Commers, a story about an aspiring screenwriter looking for real-life love. I'm a massive Katherine Center stan, and this book is her best yet
Kirkus
Center, the prolific author of many romances, clearly understands what it takes to create a winning romantic comedy and puts Charlie and Emma through many of the most delightful rom-com tropes (enemies to lovers, forced proximity). But the book, like all of Center's work, doesn't completely eschew darkness―both Emma and Charlie are dealing with trauma and grief. A winning romance that deftly balances heft and humor
Betches
Grumpy Boy and Sunshine Girl is one of the best tropes and it's back again in this meta romcom...will the kissing come off the page to the other page? We'll find out, and I will likely be squealing like a pig throughout!
Booklist (starred review)
Winsome and charming, Center's latest is that perfect blend of romance and overcoming life challenges that her readers treasure
The Skimm
If you're into Katherine Center's rich character development and a juicy enemies-to-lovers romance, read this
USA Today
This rom-com about a rom-com offers a pretty predictable storyline, but the enjoyment comes from the tongue-in-cheek commentary on its own genre. As Center writes, 'If you're surprised by the ending, somebody wasn't doing their job. We all know where it's headed. The fun is how we get there
Parade
Katherine Center offers another source for the pleasurable charms readers of Hilderbrand will soon be desperately jonesing for
