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?

Little bookstore in the city vs. corporate property development company. There's a cozy NYC vibe that I love. Rosie and Jane are very opposites attract. I love Brinkley!!! All in all- it's a very cute rom-com that you can't miss!
Abby Craden was fantastic narrating!

This book was super cute and entertaining. I liked the main characters and the side characters, especially Rosie's dog, Brinkley, and Jane's sister Amy. The roommates were wonderful. I absolutely loved the support they had for each other and their relationship. My favorite thing is that we didn't have any typical mean girl behavior or ridiculous drama.
The reason that I am only giving this book 3 stars is because I never felt anything reading this book. It all felt so surface value with 'this' is the emotion being felt at the time but the actual feelings never conveyed. This was the same with their relationship. We were basically told the connection was there, but I never saw or felt any chemistry between our two main characters. So while, it was a good story, I didn't get what I want from romance books, which is a happy, giddy feeling of watching two people fall in love and experience the butterflies with them and all that.
One thing that bothered me in this book was that we met multiple people throughout this book and none of these people were introduced with their ethnicity or skin color until one person: "...was deep in conversation with another friend Jane had been introduced to tonight, a Black woman named Shanice." That didn't sit well with me. I don't know if that was the author's attempt of diversifying her book or what was up with that but it felt icky and low key unintentionally racist. This was my first time reading this author so I don't know if it was a one off thing or if this is how all people of color are introduced in her books. I guess I will find out when I read book 2.
Overall, this was a cute story. I loved the characters but wished I would have been able to emotionally connect with them and their situations.
Cute but didn't feel the chemistry
