Synopsis (from Goodreads):

Inspiration can come from the most unlikely—and inconvenient—sources.

Kara Sullivan’s life is full of love—albeit fictional. As a bestselling romance novelist and influential bookstagrammer, she’s fine with getting her happily-ever-after fix between the covers of a book.

But right now? Not only is Kara’s best friend getting married next week—which means big wedding stress—but the deadline for her next novel is looming, and she hasn’t written a single word. The last thing she needs is for her infuriating first love, Ryan Thompson, to suddenly appear in the wedding party. But Ryan’s unexpected arrival sparks a creative awakening in Kara that inspires the steamy historical romance she desperately needs to deliver.

With her wedding duties intensifying, her deadline getting closer by the second and her bills not paying themselves, Kara knows there’s only one way for her to finish her book and to give her characters the ever-after they deserve. But can she embrace the unlikely, ruggedly handsome muse—who pushes every one of her buttons—to save the wedding, her career and, just maybe, write her own happy ending?

My Review:

Thank you Harper Collins Canada for the copy of this book!
–
Read if you like: cute rom-coms, enemies to lovers, past relationships.
–
Kara is a romance writer who doesn’t have a lot of romance in her real life. That is, until her first love Ryan shows up at her best friends wedding.
–
This book was fun and cute, and I liked the idea of first loves reconnecting and looking at what went wrong. Some of the plot points that happened later on in the book felt a little over dramatic to me, and I didn’t love the choice to use a specific trope (not going to spoil it though), but overall the book definitely made me want to keep reading and find out what would happen!
–
I am also a sucker for books about authors/writing in general!
