A review by purplepenning
By the Book by Jasmine Guillory

emotional lighthearted medium-paced

3.5

A contemporary rom-com that pairs a wide-eyed book lover who wants more than a provincial life as an editor's assistant and a Hollywood bad boy with a beastly case of writer's block. It'll tick a lot of boxes for a lot of readers — Disney's Beauty and the Beast fans will have fun spotting all the references in this modern nod to the classic, fans of sweet and swoony romance will love the couple dynamic (and the A+ apologizing and healthy, respectful boundaries), and readers who can't get enough books set in and around the publishing world will enjoy the peek behind the scenes (and the legit writing advice!).
