Pickpick

This book. It had humor in spades, and supporting characters who actually had their own personalities, and were pretty memorable.

The main character, Miles, is a lawyer who writes romance novels in secret, spurred in part by her literary snob parents. Miles also deals with social anxiety, which is a major part of her character development in the story.

This edition is actually a rewrite of the first one, and sometimes it's evident.

asterese There were times when some passages in a dialogue came out nowhere, and I had no idea who or what they were talking about.

Still a good read though. Miles is a character worth cheering for.

⭐: 3.75 stars.

Thanks for the e-arc, Netgalley!

Just realized that I've read 3 books about main characters writing romance novels in secret within the last 3 months, and this is now one of my favorite tropes. Is this a trope?? And I'm happy to say that neither are exactly the same.

Initial thoughts on my current read: I think it will destroy me. The cover may look cheerful, and the story does deliver on humor, but the MC's struggles are heartbreaking. 😢

Eight pages in and I'm hooked already. A romance featuring a literary lawyer called Miles Franklin who secretly writes romance novels under a pseud - now threatened with exposure as she is shortlisted for a prize? Sign. Me. Up. #romantsy #australianwomenwriters

I got hit by a nasty stomach virus yesterday, but on the bright side I had On the Same Page to cheer me up. That, and copious amounts of camomile tea, got me through the day!
