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. I have mixed feelings for this book. I was really excited for this as I saw glowing reviews and forced proximity arc. With this arc, I was expecting a bit of drama, banter, and fun but this turned out different from what I expected Plot is interesting. I liked the concept and idea of the book.What made me stick to the book is Writing. It is most amazing, beautiful, the kind you find in literary fiction that makes you get lost in words. I enjoyed reading characters’ writing journey, how they met, how their partnership started, their style of work, what exactly is like to work as co-author, pros and cons of writing in partnership, how they made it work. Why 3.5 stars - I got the answers of questions I had almost after 60% of the book. I also didn’t really like Katrina. I didn’t care about the romance that came at 70% of the book. Both plot and romance is too slow for my taste. I didn't like Katrina. Overall, The Roughest Draft is an interesting story of writing duo and their journey with beautiful writing and forced proximity arc. I recommend this if you like, character-driven story book about writing journey book about co-author and how they work together slow-burning romance slow pace Layer of anxiety 𝙌𝙊𝙏𝘿 - Your favorite book in which main character is writer or fav book about books. . . . .... #TheRoughestDraft #EmilyWibberley #AustinSiegemundBroka #Romance #contemporary #fiction #forcedproximity #contemporaryfiction #BerkleyRomance #booksteacupandreviews #bookblogger #bookcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CbNVXa_rIH9/?utm_medium=tumblr
