The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley, Austin Siegemund-Broka
4.5

The perfect thematic mashup of “Beach Read” and “People We Meet On Vacation” whilst simultaneously outshining both books. I really enjoyed reading this book. The tension that arose while Katrina and Nathaniel wrote together was perfection. 

Katrina’s anger over Nathaniel’s confession of love only being able to come out as fiction are understandable, but at the same time I empathized with Nathaniel when he tried to explain to Katrina that even though the genre is fiction, the things that he says in his writing are real.
