Thank you to NetGalley, Melissa Ferguson, and Thomas Nelson Publishing for the opportunity to receive an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
Savannah Cade wants nothing more than to get her manuscript published - the same manuscript she has been working on for four years. Through a twist of fate, she's given the opportunity to submit her manuscript to one of the top publishers in the business. Unfortunately, it isn't quite up to snuff and it gets rejects and unless she performs a major rewrite, she doesn't have a chance of Baird Books picking her up. With the help of a mystery editor she finds in the confines of her secret hideaway, she's able to make the necessary changes and somehow find her Happily Ever After in the process.
Between the cover, the blurb, and the setting, this should have been a slam dunk for me. But it wasn't. Personally, I couldn't get into the flow of the writing style, I didn't connect with Savannah (we get it, she's ~ordinary~), Will was boring, and the fact that the grand finale was their first kiss was...not for me.
Even though I'm not the reader for this book, I still think it should be given a chance, especially if you like:

Even though I'm not the reader for this book, I still think it should be given a chance, especially if you like:
- Anything bookish
- The idea of publishing houses
- Warm fuzzies
- A break from the usual hot and heavy steam of romances
- You've Got Mail
