Talk Bookish To Me: A Novel by Kate Bromley

(Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book!)

 

about book:

TALK BOOKISH TO ME (On-sale: May 25, 2021; Graydon House; Trade Paperback Original; $15.99) is a laugh-out-loud stunner of a story, perfect for fans of Beach Read and The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, that will delight book nerds everywhere! 

Kara Sullivan is definitely not avoiding her deadline. After all, it's the week of her best friend's wedding and she's the maid of honor, so she's got lots of responsibilities. As a bestselling romance novelist with seven novels under her belt, she’s a pro and looming deadlines and writer’s block (which she definitely doesn’t have) don't scare her. She's just eager to support Cristina as she ties the knot with Jason.

But who should show up at Cristina and Jason's rehearsal dinner but Kara's college ex-boyfriend, (the gorgeous and infuriating) Ryan? Apparently, he’s one of Jason's childhood friends, and he's in the wedding party, too. Considering neither Kara nor Ryan were prepared to see each other again, it's decidedly a meet-NOT-cute. There is nothing cute about this situation, and a bit of notice to mentally prepare would’ve been nice, Cristina! However, when Kara sits down to write again the next day, her writers' block is suddenly gone. She has to wonder what’s changed. Are muses real…? And is Kara's muse...Ryan?

my thoughts:

What a sexy and fun story! Talk Bookish To Me is a delightful novel that will have you laughing out loud one minute and shaking your head in exasperation the next. It's cute and romantic, with a splash of drama here and there. I just loved diving into Kara's story and finding out whether or not her meet-NOT-cute would turn romantic. 

Kara is a bestselling author. Her genre is romance. She's on a deadline, but seems to have writer's block. And, she's her BFF's maid of honor, which means she is super busy with wedding stuff all the time. Oh, and she just found out her ex-boyfriend from college is also in the wedding party. Say what?! Yep, a blast from the past is about to shake her world up in more ways than she could even imagine. Turns out he's her lucky charm. Writer's block be damned. Looks like all you need is a muse in the form of your ex. 

Bromley has written a delicious romp that will hook you from the start. It's such a great story to settle down with on a rainy day or a sunny afternoon at the beach. You will LOVE reading all about Kara and her misadventures at her BFF's wedding.
