"Meet Me in the Margins is a delightfully charming jewel of a book that fans of romantic comedy won't be able to put down!" --Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of A Happier Life

Savannah Cade's dreams are coming true. The Claire Donovan, editor-in-chief of the most successful romance publishing company in the country, has requested to see the manuscript Savannah's been secretly writing. The only problem: she's an editor for a different company, and their philosophy is only highbrow works are worth printing and romance should be reserved for the lowest level of Dante's inferno.

But when Savannah drops her manuscript during a staff meeting and nearly exposes herself to the whole company--including William Pennington, the new boss and son of the romance-despising CEO herself--she has no choice but to hide the manuscript in a hidden room.

When she returns, she's dismayed to discover that someone has not only been in her hidden nook but has written notes in the margins--quite critical ones. But when Claire's own reaction turns out to be nearly identical to the scribbled remarks, and, worse, Claire announces that Savannah has six weeks to resubmit before she retires, Savannah finds herself forced to seek the help of the shadowy editor after all.

As their notes back and forth start to fill up the pages, however, Savannah finds him becoming pivotal not just to her work but her life. There's no doubt about it: she's falling for her mystery editor. If she only knew who he was.

With its irresistible bookish setting, slow-burn romance, and included discussion questions, Meet Me in the Margins makes a delightful pick for book clubs and readers who love stories about stories. Melissa Ferguson once again delivers her trademark laugh-out-loud charm and heartfelt romance--all without the spice.

Tropes:

• Workplace romance
• Book about books
• Writer FMC
• Letters/Emails/Epistles

So good! So cute!

The story started off a bit slow but it turned out to be the perfect pace for the sweet ending. I’m so wary of romance bestsellers but this one is so good! Just enough sweetness and spark with no language or blush-worthy scenes. Loved the transformations and lessons learned. Great read overall!

Cute and fun

I enjoyed listening to this book. The story is sweet and the characters fun and interesting.

Had a hard time putting this one down

Definitely the sweet, feel-good summer read I didn’t even realize I was needing! It pulls you in immediately and is hard to put down!

Vacation book

Fun book to listen to while traveling. Cute story. Performance was good. Fun ending. Enjoyed book

Cute and light

Fun, cute falling-in-love story with interesting characters. I liked the narrator as well. No offensive language—I could recommend to my mom ;)

Great premise, pretty good execution

I loved the premise, and overall the story was enjoyable. Definitely worth a read. Some minor criticisms are that some character and story elements seemed a bit unbelievable, and the chemistry (outside the margins) is not compelling. I get that the protagonist is supposed to be an "average" woman and no one can objectively edit their own work, but her first draft was appallingly bad. And she's an editor but she's impressed by the word "bailiwick" and other thesaurus words? Hard to see why the mystery editor was impressed. Also, how did they have so much time during the work day to hide away and edit her book?? Still, it was a fun, light read. The narrator seemed a bit too serious for the character sometimes, but was nice to listen to.

Ups and downs, miscommunication and weird coworkers.

I really enjoyed this book, characters with depth and heart, loyalty and love.

My only complaint is that your editors need to learn when to use the word begrudge. In nearly every single instance the word that should have been used is grudge!
Please LOOK IT UP!

Pure Delight!

A fun story with fantastic characters and an engaging plot. Loved the narration as well! Will watch for more from this author and narrator!

funny and clean

I didn't think there were many wholesome romances bring published. I really liked this one and have listened several times. The setting (a publishing house) makes this story memorable. We have several writers (and editors) in our family and it was fun to see people like us as main characters in a romance novel. But the story is also well told, and there are enough plot twists to keep things interesting.

Did I somehow get a bad copy of the audio?

There are 2 or 3 places in this audio where there are crackles (especially at the end which really ruined it for me) and at least 2 places she repeats herself or corrects herself when she mispronounces a word.

How has nobody else mentioned this in any review???
It’s distracting!

Overall, the story was an adorable if not very predictable. I enjoyed that it was descriptive and that the author really focused on developing the main character. It’s enjoyable and easy to listen to. Overall, I would recommend reading it but it’s a little disrespectful to the listener that the audio wasn’t thoroughly edited.
