I liked the concept and idea of the book. With this arc, I was expecting a bit of drama, banter, and fun but this turned out different from what I expected. I was really excited for this as I saw glowing reviews and forced proximity arc. The story is about a writing journey, accepting feelings, finding a way towards happiness without fearing the uncertainty, anxiety and fear of success, friendship, and love.

The Roughest Draft is interesting romance journey of two writers, Nathan and Katrina, who fell out of partnership just when their best-selling book fly off the shelves but when they are forced to write one last book of the contrast, they find their way back to each other and love. 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. Working through the reasons they’ve hated each other for the past three years isn’t easy, especially not while writing a romantic novel. The last thing they ever thought they’d do again is hole up in the tiny Florida town where they wrote their previous book, trying to finish a new manuscript quickly and painlessly.

They haven’t spoken since, and never planned to, except they have one final book due on contract.įacing crossroads in their personal and professional lives, they’re forced to reunite. But on the heels of their greatest success, they ended their partnership on bad terms, for reasons neither would divulge to the public. Three years ago, Katrina Freeling and Nathan Van Huysen were the brightest literary stars on the horizon, their cowritten books topping bestseller lists. They were cowriting literary darlings until they hit a plot hole that turned their lives upside down. Disclaimer – Many thanks to publisher for free e-copy via NetGalley.
