For fans of Emily Henry's Book Lovers, The Roughest Draft is the debut adult novel from Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka.

Their romance was a bestseller. Too bad it was all fiction . . .

Description

Three years ago, Katrina Freeling and Nathan Van Huysen were the brightest literary stars on the horizon, their cowritten book topping bestseller lists. But on the heels of their greatest success, they ended their partnership on bad terms. They haven't spoken since, and never planned to, except they have one final book due on contract.

Forced to reunite, they hole up in the tiny Florida town where they wrote their previous book, trying to finish a new manuscript quickly and painlessly. Working through the reasons they've hated each other for the past three years isn't easy, especially not while writing a romantic novel.

While passion and prose push them closer together in the Florida heat, Katrina and Nathan will learn that relationships, like writing, sometimes take a few rough drafts before they get it right.

Achingly romantic, The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka is an intimate will-they-won't-they love story.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised as "achingly romantic" by Entertainment Weekly, and lauded for its "searingly insightful" prose by Sarah Grunder Ruiz, The Roughest Draft is celebrated for its imperfect, relatable characters and compelling romantic tension. Jodi Picoult describes it as a rare piece of writing that "haunts your sleep," while Oprah Daily compares it favourably to The Hating Game, calling it sweeter and steamier. Reviewers from Shondaland, BuzzFeed, and others highlight its irresistible blend of romance, intrigue, and emotional depth.
