Beach Read

I liked the premiss. At some point it felt like two books in one. Following the writer's process, and the different styles and research writers do while writing is a pretty cool angle. i do think the book was too meta romance books wise for it to let itself fall in the emotions. Both the writer and the protagonist felt too conscious of the usual tropes basically, so even if the story's good it lacks the usual feels.

On a sidenote, the book cover really doesn't showcase the story and I don't know how a book that's about how much editorial houses demean romance novels and female stories would accept with such a flaky looking cover that seems like a copy paste of all other romance novels of the past 2 years.
