Review: The Roughest Draft

💜 Thank you Berkley Romance and Goodreads for the free ARC of The Roughest Draft! Out 1/25/22! #BerkleyPartner #BerkleyIG 💜

If you are looking for an angsty, complicated romance with exquisite writing, look no further than The Roughest Draft. I was lucky enough to win an ARC on Goodreads and I’m so thankful I did! I really loved this one! 

The writing is SO good. I just can’t emphasize that enough. This was my first book from Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka and I’m honestly obsessed with their writing now. 

I’m not one to love romances with characters already in relationships, and in a way this story has two (Nathan is married during the past chapters), but damn if I didn’t get sucked into Katrina and Nathan’s love story. That being said, know that they both fall in love while they’re engaged/married to other people (there is no physical cheating). And it’s not until 70% of the way into the book that they’re both single. I know this might not work for everyone, but this story and the way it’s told really really worked for me! 

I loved so much about The Roughest Draft, I’ll probably never stop screaming about the writing, but the whole concept of the story and the forced proximity was SO so good. 

If you want a romance with a plot that feels like Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation combined with complicated relationships, angst, pining, and emotions, The Roughest Draft needs to be on your TBR. I had been in a slump this month and this book was a massive win for me! 💜 Kellisa
