Week 25 Review: Nora Goes Off Script

From Goodreads:
Evvie Drake Starts Over meets Beach Read in this heartwarming and hilarious novel about a divorced romance channel screenwriter whose script about her marriage's collapse just might help her reclaim her life and find love.

Nora's life is about to get a rewrite...

Nora Hamilton knows the formula for love better than anyone. As a romance channel screenwriter, it's her job. But when her too-good-to work husband leaves her and their two kids, Nora turns her marriage's collapse into cash and writes the best script of her life. No one is more surprised than her when it's picked up for the big screen and set to film on location at her 100-year-old-home. When former Sexiest Man Alive, Leo Vance, is cast as her ne'er do well husband Nora's life will never be the same.

The morning after shooting wraps and the crew leaves, Nora finds Leo on her porch with a half-empty bottle of tequila and a proposition. He'll pay a thousand dollars a day to stay for a week. The extra seven grand would give Nora breathing room, but it's the need in his eyes that makes her say yes. Seven days: it's the blink of an eye or an eternity depending on how you look at it. Enough time to fall in love. Enough time to break your heart.

Filled with warmth, wit, and wisdom, Nora Goes Off Script is the best kind of love story--the real kind where love is complicated by work, kids, and the emotional baggage that comes with life. For Nora and Leo, this kind of love is bigger than the big screen.

My Review:
This book was just adorable to read! I had never heard of it until I saw a booktuber talking about it, and it sounded really great, so I picked it up on a whim-and I devoured it. It was just so cute and wonderful, and I couldn't put it down!

The idea of falling in love with a celebrity, that's a hidden fantasy for most people, right? Just the idea of stepping into that luxury-but the work being on the relationship side, not the work side? It's not something that could really come true, you know? So watching it play out in a book, it's so easily bingeable! 

Nora is dependable. She's a single mother, whose husband was the opposite of reliable, who didn't work for their money-but had an easy time spending it. Now that she's on her own, the random book that she wrote that was semi-autobiographical, is getting made into a movie-and they want to film it at her house. Yeah.

I loved her relationship with Leo, she knows it's not a good idea, but the feelings bloom anyways. The way he was with her kids, he's pretty easy to fall for. And I loved how the miscommunication trope breaks them, it's not their fault, and I loved how it played out! 

This was a fantastic read, and I can't wait to read more by Annabel Monaghan!
