This book was just darling. It seemed cheesy and superficial but I really ended up enjoying it! Everyone has a happy ending (except for a few petty people who had it coming) and just overall a delight. Look forward to reading more by Ferguson!

Meet me in the Margins is such a fun book. I always enjoy Melissa Ferguson's books. Her books are always clean, sweet, and swoony. I loved the hidden room in Meet me in the Margins, as well as the mystery editor. Ferguson balanced serious workplace situations with humorous ones, all while developing relationships. With so many gears turning, I felt like a fly on the wall in the office, and to watch it all come together was just so wonderful. I've read Meet me in the Margins several times, and have listed to the audio version (also great!), and love it more each time. I'm so thankful I got to read it through Netgalley.

I loved the story and plot line here, I thought TJ eas so cute and and entertaining and the banter was so fun and jsut all around nice and cute

This was a very sweet romance!!! I loved the setting in this and I think any bookworm would enjoy reading about Savannah falling for Will, her new boss’s son. I love the trope in this!! It was very fun plus the publishing aspect was fascinating to read. It read almost like a movie! Very sweet

I truly enjoyed this novel! I loved the classic rom-com feel of it. It was very reminiscent of the Erynn Mangum novels I read as a teen, first cutting my teeth on the Christian fiction rom-com genre. I found it utterly delightful!

If you know me, you know I ADORE a You've Got Mail situation and I felt this one was so fun! I loved the dynamic between Savannah and Will. I even loved Savannah's friend/coworker. I could not love Savannah's family, especially Olivia, if you paid me a million dollars. They're actually the worst and no amount of "character growth" towards the end could justify the absolute garbage bin that they were throughout the book. Ex-boyfriend Ferris included.

ANYWAYS. Aside from that blemish on an otherwise perfectly lovely novel . . . this book is a solid choice for readers who just want a simple comfort rom-com. It's the perfect read to satisfy.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. All expressed opinions belong to me.

Books about books and writing excite me. But this one just did not meet the mark. The writing style was a bit too detailed for my liking and took me out of the story.

3 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

Was not able to get into the story. Just fell flat for me in terms of the characters and the overall story wasn’t for me.

This is a delightful read for romance enthusiasts and book lovers who will adore a lighthearted, funny, and swoon-worthy tale of workplace romance, writing, and the power of love to transform even the most unlikely of relationships.

After finishing this book, I found myself having conflicting thoughts. I appreciated the concept of bonding over shared interests, but I struggled with the chemistry between the main leads, the portrayal of the protagonist's family, and the overall feeling I had while reading. The story would have benefited from focusing more on the development of the romantic relationship between Savannah and Will.

I believe that with a more focused approach to the romantic aspect, character development, and the portrayal of the protagonist's family, the book could have been even more engaging and enjoyable.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

A fun, quirky little read that left me feeling all warm & fuzzy.
I do wish there was more romance in it & it was a bit more pacy.

I am always up for a slow burn kind of love, but I wish this one didn't end so fast and that we got more romance within this book.

I am with alot of other reviewers in which saying the family just wrecked this story for me, along with the body issues which I feel always need to come to light but it was a hard mix within this story. I was in and out of this story a lot while reading it, and it took me a while to get through it. I will definitely be reading trigger warnings for her other books, along with wait to see what other reviewers say to see if this would be a romance I could handle.

Who can resist a bookish book? I love how this featured the process of how books are edited, and it made for a cute dynamic between the two main characters.

I received this novel as an advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This novel is perfect for the bookish Romance genre type. Sweet and enjoyable, Can be read in a day. Recommend all those who love romance and books.

I love a publishing setting so much. I was drawn in right from the start and couldn't stop reading. I think the relationship and characters fell a little flat for me overall, but it was enjoyable!

Melissa Ferguson is for people who enjoy sweetheart romances with very little chemistry, and I just dont think this author is for me but there is a huge audience that will love them.

A cute story with a readable plot. However, fell a little flat with the pacing and development of the characters. It was cute, but just an okay read. Certainly not horrible, but probably not one I would re-read.

Whilst this was a cute story, with a fun plot and likeable characters, it still lacked some substance. This was a slow-burn, but something was missing between both characters, maybe more time on the page, for me to truly feel their romance.
