I am so honored that I got this book. I haven’t found a KC book I haven’t loved and this one is no different. The characters are so well developed it felt like I was right there with them.

My most anticipated read of the year did not disappoint! Katherine Center has a way with words words that completely immerses you into the lives of her characters. They are emotional but hope-filled and never lacking in substance and charm!

The only thing that could have made me love this book more was if we had gotten just a little more time to see Emma & Charlie together. I loved it SO much. The banter, the romance, the Hollywood-ness of it all. Another a+ novel from Katherine Center! What a delight!!

I adored this book and would love to share my full rating/review; however, I will withhold it for the time being due to the ongoing SMP boycott.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to access an e-arc of The Rom-Commers through their "Read Now" feature.

This is the saddest review I have to write, because it's the first Katherine Center book that I didn't absolutely LOVE. I didn't dislike it, but it just didn't suck me in like her books normally do. The characters were still amazing as always, and hello, Katherine is the queen of witty characters! I still think this one is worth a read for anyone who has enjoyed her work in the past.

I LOVE KATHERINE CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her dialogue and characters are always unmatched. They feel deeply and are emotional and love hard while also being sarcastic and funny. I especially liked the caregiver aspect of this story, featuring Emma taking care of her father as his primary caregiver due to a tragic accident about 10 years prior. Emma carries a lot of guilt for her current family situation and puts 100% into taking care of her dad 24/7. When she gets an opportunity to travel to LA to help a famed screenwriter rewrite a rom-com script, she at first doesn't want to take it because of her home obligations. I just really enjoyed the plot and really related to the caregiving identity and putting that above living your own life. I'll read anything Katherine Center writes — cannot wait for her next book!

The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center is a unique premise with a great author to helm witty banter. Overall, the characters are pretty toxic and their arcs don't necessarily put them on the path to growth. However, Center writes so well that if you are not turning pages quickly and easily them rom com may not be your genre. Well done!

Nobody writes rom-com like Katherine Center, and I admittedly put off the Rom-Commers for a bit, because I knew that I would love it (just like I've loved all of her previous books), and I already didn't want it to be over. I loved the snarky dialogue between Charlie and Emma, but, most of all, I loved the idea of a rom-com within a rom-com. While Charlie and Emma are working on a script about people falling in love, they're actively trying not to fall in love themselves, but, of course, it's inevitable, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it unfold.

Just Read It.
I love Katherine Centre’s books. The Bodyguard is still probably my top favorite book, but this one was also fantastic.
Emma’s ex boyfriend, who is also her agent offers her the opportunity of a lifetime; to work on a romcom novel with Charlie Yates, the screenwriter she’s been obsessing over for years. Emma has been delaying her plans to become a screenwriter because she is a 24/7 caregiver for her father, nevertheless Emma reluctantly takes the opportunity when her little sister promises to take care of their father. When Emma gets to LA, she realizes that Charlie has no idea she’s been hired to help him improve his book AND they both have no idea that the plan is for Emma to live with him. Charlie is NOT on board but as soon as Emma tells him everything that is wrong with his script he reconsiders and …

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a digital review copy
I LOVED this book. It took me a little bit to get used to the full names being used, but I loved the swimming pool bit, I loved how vulnerable they were and how they each pointed out each others flaws. I couldn’t put it down. Not only do we get to read about Emma and Charlie, but we also see the relationship with her ex boyfriend, with her sister, her sister and her fiancé and her father also ends up in a relationship! It was just such a warm fuzzy but also heartbreaking and funny book.

I know these books aren’t usually spicy but that is one of the main reasons why I love them. They’re so sweet and I can never get enough. Please keep writing more!

This was one of the funniest reads this year! I love the characters in the plot so much that I couldn’t stop turning the pages. It ended up being only a two-day read! Katherine Center never fails to get me to love a character or a plot! All her characters, especially these, are relatable and loveable! You feel for every single one of them.

Y’all how have I waited so long to read a book by Katherine Center? She had my emotions all over, I just about keeled over from second hand embarrassment multiple times, I wanted to shake sense into characters while simultaneously giving them hugs. Like…. How? This was absolutely adorable and I can already tell it is going to join the very small list of books that I reread.

Emma had a promising career as a screen writer lined up until suddenly a massive accident put her off track. But a decade later, her friend called her to tell her that Logan friggin Yates needs her to help him rewrite a screenplay. She would be ghost writing of course, but it’s with her idol! And it’s her specialty, romcoms to his action movies that blow up stuff. But when she gets there she quickly realizes something. Charlie friggin Yates had no idea she was coming.

5 stars. Loved this!! Sweet and heartwarming without being sappy at all. Have read some others by her and this was by far my fav. Top 5 of the year.

I don't know why I'm always so surprised when I love a Katherine Center book. I must have this weird, highly specific form of amnesia where I forget that I love every single one of her books until I've devoured them. Bizarre.

Anyway, this book was so freaking cute with the most unconventionally lovable MMC and highly adorkable FMC. First half was a little stronger than the back one but I still really enjoyed it.

HUGE gripe though - the author wrote "wah-lah" instead of voila. Twice. It had me side eyeing my kindle and googling whether this was a flammable/inflammable thing where we've just now come to accept the grammatical mistake.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to #NetGalley for this ARC. This is my second Katherine Center book and again 5 star read. I loved both min characters. The banter between both of them is so funny. The family dynamics are also very enriching and full of love and overcoming regret. A must read.

37 pages. It took 37 pages for me to have laughed, tear up, get butterflies, get inspired and to fall for The Rom-Commers. Katherine Center is the best, so I’m in no way surprised that her newest novel is a pure delight. The main female character was so relatable to me and I loved her view and her heart💜 super cute, lovable rom-com!
Anytime you want a feel good, heart inspiring book, pick up something from Katherine Center.

Katherine Center's The Rom-Commers is a delightful and heartwarming journey that perfectly blends romance, humor, and emotional depth. This novel is a testament to Center’s ability to create stories that are not only entertaining but also profoundly touching.

Center's writing style is effortlessly engaging, with a perfect balance of lighthearted humor and heartfelt moments. The comedic elements are genuinely funny, adding a refreshing and enjoyable layer to the romance. The romantic plot itself is both sweet and satisfying, with just the right amount of tension and resolution to keep readers hooked.

Katherine Center’s The Rom-Commers is a delightful, feel-good read that blends humor, heart, and a dash of Hollywood magic. Emma Wheeler is an aspiring screenwriter who dreams of writing romantic comedies. Her big break comes when she gets the chance to re-write a script for none other than Charlie Yates—her writing idol.

Emma's journey is both relatable and inspiring. She's dedicated her life to her dad, and now she finally gets a shot at her dreams. Moving to L.A. for six weeks, she’s ready to prove herself. But things don't go as planned. Charlie Yates is a tough nut to crack. He’s jaded about love, thinks romantic comedies are a joke, and his script is so bad it’s almost funny.

Emma’s determination is what makes this book shine. She’s not just fighting for her career but for the genre she loves. She’s passionate, witty, and not afraid to stand up to Charlie. Their interactions are filled with sharp dialogue and hilarious moments, making their evolving relationship a joy to watch. And when that accidental amazing kiss happens? Pure magic.

What’s great about the book is how it balances the rom-com elements with deeper themes. It’s about following your dreams, the importance of love stories, and finding real love in unexpected places. Emma and Charlie’s journey from reluctant partners to something more is heartwarming and satisfying.

Overall, it’s a must-read for rom-com lovers. It’s charming, funny, and full of heart. Katherine Center has crafted a story that’s as much about the love of storytelling as it is about finding your own happily ever after. Highly recommended!

Great easy bingeable read! Good themes and characters and felt really fast reading it. I will say the female main character and some of the plot felt absolutely delusional but thde book was fun that i could excuse it. felt like a 2000s romcom for sure. would be a great movie

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinion are completely my own.

Fun smart romance novel that delivers everything Emma cites a good rom-com needs. Very entertaining

Oh man, Katherine Center can do no wrong in my opinion! I can always count on her for a good time with heart eyes the whole time! I had a great time with these characters and their banter and their back stories and the sweetness! Recommend!
