Publisher's summary

From award-winning author Rachel Lacey comes a playful romance about a Manhattan bookstore owner and a reclusive author who love to hate - and hate to love - each other.

Books are Rosie Taft’s life. And ever since she took over her mother’s beloved Manhattan bookstore, they’ve become her home too. The only thing missing is her own real-life romance like the ones she loves to read about, and Rosie has an idea of who she might like to sweep her off her feet. She’s struck up a flirty online friendship with lesbian romance author Brie, and what could be more romantic than falling in love with her favorite author?

Jane Breslin works hard to keep her professional and personal lives neatly separated. By day, she works for the family property development business. By night, she puts her steamier side on paper under her pen name: Brie. Jane hasn’t had much luck with her own love life, but her online connection with a loyal reader makes Jane wonder if she could be the one.

When Rosie learns that her bookstore’s lease has been terminated by Jane’s family’s business, romance moves to the back burner. Even though they’re at odds, there’s no denying the sparks that fly every time they’re together. When their online identities are revealed, will Jane be able to write her way to a happy ending, or is Rosie’s heart a closed book?

Romantic and sweet!

Similar vibes to one of the best romantic movies of all time - You’ve Got Mail. Loved all the characters and the narrators reading style. Perfect for a long road trip!

The Peak

The story was good but the peak made we want to turn it off. I was so annoyed. I maybe good or realistic to others but for me it blew the realism of the story. Otherwise it was written well and I enjoyed it. Just threw me for a loop.

Definitely worth a read/listen

This book is a really good read/listen The storyline is fun and engaging, the characters are relatable and I either loved them, sympathised with them or was mad at them. The only reason I haven’t given it 4 or 5 stars overall is because of a few editing issues, and sentence structure that I noticed. Nothing major but it’s what makes a good book a great book. I still totally recommend this book. It’s a great read I really enjoyed it. Abby Craden did a fabulous job at narrating as always and her Jane voice was so good. 😍.

A "will they/won't they" story that warms you

As an avid reader of lesbian romances, I have to admit some of this story was a little predictable but imo predictability can be comforting too. Still, Read Between the Lines delivered just enough twists to keep me engaged and happy. Abby Craden has easily become my favorite narrator for these books and Rachel Lacey delivered a wonderful book. loved it!

JUST USE YOUR WORDS 😭

The story felt so real and heartfelt that I had to gush about it to my parents. I loved the unknown enemies to lovers, but I wish there wasn’t so much miscommunication 😭

I liked it!

The storyline was good and I appreciate the lack of gratuitous sex. There is sexiness in subtlety. Abby Craden never disappoints. Thank you for the delightful journey.
