Broke up with, broke, and with a vicious case of writer's block, romance writer Gracie Landing is a hot mess. She can hardly be blamed for drinking one (or a few) too many cocktails when out with her besties in an attempt to cheer herself up. Sometime in the foggy wee hours, she recklessly emails her unrequited high-school crush, Colin Yarmouth, who is now a successful attorney harboring regrets of his own. When she receives an intriguingly friendly (not to say flirty) response, her acute embarrassment is overcome only by her fervent curiosity―what would a hottie like Colin be like as a grown up? The two forge an unlikely friendship that's unmistakably headed for more. Colin's tales of his own woeful break-up become fodder for Gracie's fertile imagination and her current work-in-progress takes off. With the deadline looming and her checking account dwindling, Gracie has no idea that borrowing Colin's story could wreak havoc on her life, her career, and her own chance at happily-ever-after...

I enjoyed this debut novel by K.J. Micciche. While the story itself was good, I felt like it had the potential to be so much more. I am really conflicted…it started a little slow for me but then I loved the emails between Gracie and Colin. They were my favorite parts of the book! And then I had a problem with the end - I really wish we got more details of their HEA.
I love books about bookish stuff so I was super excited about reading this one! It was a sweet romcom but I wasn't a fan of all of the STD talk or excess farting, burping, vomiting. I felt like the MC's didn't act their ages, at times were annoying and I really didn't really vibe with them. I really wanted to though! There were so many twists and turns - some funny, some unnecessary, some that should have been talked about more. It was kind of all over the place. I really liked Evan - he needs his own book!
Thank you to NetGalley & Sourcebooks for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!
