Overall I really enjoyed reading this book, it was easy to read and the characters felt fully realised which adding to feeling immersed in the universe of the book and had me reading it quickly as I didn't want to put it down.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is a cute, fun rom-com that many readers will love. It's a cute grumpy/sunshine trope with a slow burn romance. The characters are not what they first appear to be from the outside, but in the best way possible. I also liked the storyline with the famous actress and the script writer. The characters were likeable and the story was well done.

.5 star deduction for how wrong this art is for this warm, charming, funny(ish), clever book. The cover reads as vapid and the novel is anything but, so.

HOW TO PLOT A PAYBACK is a delightful and wholesome story filled with lovable characters and a refreshing plot line. Let's say you're offered your dream career, the moment you've been waiting your whole life for... would you accept it knowing it meant working with the person who has been the common denominator to the things that went wrong in your life? Welcome to Finn Master's life.

I fell in in love with Finn and Lavender's dynamic, watching their relationship unfold, and how they both end up seeing the true version of each other. Actress Lavender Rhodes who is more down-to-earth than she appears and screenwriter Finn who actually is kind-hearted and caring no matter how much he tries to hide it behind his scowling. I absolutely adored this book and look forward to reading what the author comes up with next!

Thank you to Thomas Nelson and NetGalley for the advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest review.

This is the first book I read of Melissa Ferguson and I'm very impressed! The characters were quite hilarious and lovable. Lavender was a pretty sunshine-y actress and I adored her humble personality. Finn is the grumpy yet tenderhearted script writer who held a lot of resentment for the many misfortunes caused in his life indirectly by Lavender.

It was a pretty good slow burn. I'd love to read more of the same characters if there is a sequel for this.
