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

Emma Wheeler desperately longs to be a screenwriter. She’s spent her life studying, obsessing over, and writing romantic comedies—good ones! That win contests! But she’s also been the sole caretaker for her kind-hearted dad, who needs full-time care. Now, when she gets a chance to re-write a script for famous screenwriter Charlie Yates—The Charlie Yates! Her personal writing god!—it’s a break too big to pass up.

Emma’s younger sister steps in for caretaking duties, and Emma moves to L.A. for six weeks for the writing gig of a lifetime. But what is it they say? Don’t meet your heroes? Charlie Yates doesn’t want to write with anyone—much less “a failed, nobody screenwriter.” Worse, the romantic comedy he’s written is so terrible it might actually bring on the apocalypse. Plus! He doesn’t even care about the script—it’s just a means to get a different one green-lit. Oh, and he thinks love is an emotional Ponzi scheme.

But Emma’s not going down without a fight. She will stand up for herself, and for rom-coms, and for love itself. She will convince him that love stories matter—even if she has to kiss him senseless to do it. But . . . what if that kiss is accidentally amazing? What if real life turns out to be so much . . . more real than fiction? What if the love story they’re writing breaks all Emma’s rules—and comes true?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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."—Kirkus

"Winsome and charming, Center's latest is that perfect blend of romance and overcoming life challenges that her readers treasure."—Booklist (starred review)

My top three fav rom-com writers !

It’s a must if you like lovable characters and the best rom-coms.
I listened to The Bodyguard and this book in less in 2 days.

Loved it

This may be my favorite Katherine center book yet. A few unnecessary f bombs. It was clean.

Another standout rom com from Katherine center

I truly look forward to KC’s books for their unique storylines and this one was no different, fun with a twist or two and the characters always have rich development and solid dialogue. I never feel like it’s pandering or so often with rom coms that the main characters can’t get out of their own way. I even laughed out loud numerous times. The only thing this book really needed a bit more of was a little more chemistry, the main female character Emma had it in spades for the main male character but he was written so reserved that it didn’t really crackle the way I’d hoped. Overall still a 5 star read.

The Rom-Commers is a gem!

Have you read Katherine Center's books? If not, you better start. They are amazing! They will bring absolute joy to your life! They are fresh, clever, witty, and fun!

Her latest release, The Rom-Commers, was just delightful.
I listened to the audiobook straight thru as it was so good!

Who doesn't love a rom-com?
In this one, the co-authors of a rom-com fall for each other, and they become the rom-com!

You'll love the characters and cheer for them all the way through. Katherine Center has a style all her own. You can't help but smile while you get totally absorbed in her tales.

Another lovely book

I’m such a fan of Katherine Center! Her stories are so full of wit and heart. This was a perfect love story (closed door) and a great summer read!

Love

I loved all of it. Katherine Center NEVER disappoints. I have listened to several of her books multiple times, and this one is gonna be the next repeatable favorite.

So sweet!

I love Katherine Center’s books and this is no exception. Her characters are lovable and I’m here for it!

Wonderful, as always!

Katherine Center does not disappoint. This is a lovely story with likable characters and a wonderful reader. I laughed, a lot, and maybe shed a tear or two. And I stand with her that we need love stories, for, as the great John Lennon said, All we need is love!

Meh

Least favorite KC novel to date and I think I’ve read most of her work. A bit too long.
