Meet Me in the Margins

VixLe shared a tip "This was a cute and funny book. The main character works at a publishing company as an assistant editor while also longing to get her own romance book published. The publishing company is known for only valuing “high literary works” and is scornful toward many genres including romance.The book is a light slow burn read with no sex scenes. It also made some excellent points critiquing the stereotypical ‘perfectly imperfect’ main character tropes in many books that don’t humanize their characters. I liked how this book incorporated the main character’s career, ambitions, and familial relationships into the plot. The harmful family dynamics do get glossed over a lot and is a little unrealistic however, I’m glad that some things were addressed even if not at the psychological and emotional level that was necessary. It was a pretty good read. 📚"

margarita_d shared a tip "Wow, I'm in love with the male lead! The writer created such a wonderful character, I legit love all the scenes with him. Although some parts of the novel looked very unconvincing - heroine's relationship with her family and how quickly and easily all the problems were resolved - I did enjoy the romance part very much. A nice clean read!"

honbo shared a tip "I found this novel refreshing! I have been reading so many spicy romances that it was lovely to switch to a slower romance. The concept of this novel was fun and the characters were quirky. Glad I gave this book a chance!"

laurenmr shared a tip "This is such a cute novel, and I do mean cute because it’s safe for children to read. It makes a joke about Hallmark meet-cutes even though this itself is Hallmark-level predictable. However, I still loved it. It has good characters that clearly have chemistry and has really good pacing so I never wanted to put the book down."

brittany_f_1696 shared a tip "Quick read with a romance storyline. The characters are likeable but you wish the author would've not made the main character so naive."

RaiBEES shared a tip "Such a cute cute story. The “Mystery E” was not much of a mystery but it doesn’t take away from the story at all. It’s feel good funny."

tmay shared a tip "⭐️⭐️⭐️/5️⃣ Cute book. Totally safe for first timers who aren’t looking for any 🌶. I accidentally skipped an entire chapter and it was actually ok. Kinda let down by the anticlimactic ending and left me wanting more."

ellianna_austin shared a tip "I absolutely loved reading this book!!! So so so so so so so SO STINKING GOOD for readers who love all the fluff and cute stuff without all the gross yucky explicit scenes"

lauren_mcgladdery shared a tip "@chrisflores28 Hm, I would say less so a favorite part but more so the concept that they worked on a book together and both were proud of the finished product. The fact that ultimately they came together through collaboration on an art form. Did you have a favorite part?"

vanessa_ratliff shared a tip "This book was AMAZING!! It was funny and quirky and gives you all the feels. I dont wanna give away too much but i highly recommend"

abbymuir shared a tip "it was okay. the characters were fine but it felt very surface. you don't really get to know them like you do in other books. it was super super clean and i don't think it even described a kiss."
