This second chance romance had the added bonus of an "enemies to lovers" vibe. Blackburn navigates many heavy themes with this book while maintaining that kicking-my-feet-and-giggling energy.

This was a really cute rom-com. Characters felt well fleshed out and several 'laugh out loud' moments with this one. Every bit as fun as I hoped!

The Re-Write by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn is a thoughtful and engaging novel that explores themes of second chances, personal reinvention, and the complexity of relationships. Blackburn’s writing is sharp and full of wit, with a keen sense of humor that makes the protagonist’s journey toward self-discovery both enjoyable and relatable. However, the plot occasionally feels a bit predictable, relying on familiar tropes of romantic comedies, which might leave some readers wishing for a more original twist. The pacing can also be uneven at times, with certain moments feeling rushed while others linger on less impactful details. Despite these minor flaws, The Re-Write offers a heartwarming and entertaining escape, perfect for fans of contemporary romance looking for a light but thoughtful read.
