What a riot! I was literally laughing out loud through much of this book—Melissa Ferguson nailed the tricky art of humor while still delivering heartwarming, emotionally full scenes. The story follows Bryony as she navigates the publishing world, pitches her book at a writers’ convention, and works as a ghostwriter for a popular media star. Over two years, she and her agent Jack develop a friendship, all while she fights to get her own book published.
One of the highlights is the witty banter between Bryony and Jack. Their dialogue is sharp, funny, and full of charm, making the chemistry between them so enjoyable to read. Ferguson balances humor with heart, giving us laugh-out-loud moments alongside genuinely tender, emotionally satisfying scenes.
The book also gives a fun, behind-the-scenes peek into the challenges of writing and publishing, with clever commentary, unforgettable moments like the Darth Vader bride scene, and relatable character flaws that make Jack feel real and endearing.
The only downside is that it’s a little wordy in places, and the initial description of Jack made it hard to connect with him at first—but this actually helped him feel like a real, flawed person in the end. Overall, this is a delightful, feel-good rom-com that balances laughs, banter, and heart perfectly.
★★★★☆
