Book Blurb:
She's written dozens of smash hit romance novels. Too bad no one knows it.
Aspiring author Bryony Page attends her first writers conference bursting with optimism and ready to sell her manuscript with long-shot dreams of raising awareness for The Bridge, her grandmother's financially struggling organization where she teaches ESL full-time. But after a disastrous pitch session, she stumbles into correcting another author's work in a last-ditch attempt to make a good impression with the agent. And she, as it turns out, is spot on.
No one is more surprised than Bryony when the agent offers her the opportunity to be a ghostwriter for Amelia Benedict, popular rom-com novelist. Bryony agrees on one condition: she'll write books for this vain, demanding woman just as long as Jack Sterling, literary agent of the legendary Foundry Literary Agency, works to sell her own book too.
What nobody predicted, however, was that Bryony's books would turn Amelia Benedict into the Amelia Benedict, household name and bestselling author with millions of copies sold around the world.
And just like that, the Foundry Agency can't let her go.
But on a personal note, Jack is realizing he can't either.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was captivated from the start—I loved this book! The Perfect Rom-com by Melissa Ferguson is precisely that: the perfect rom-com. I was drawn in from the first few lines and laughing by page two. I knew right away that this was going to be a fun ride. Melissa's narrative style and sense of humor are spot-on, and she brings her characters and world to life in a vivid and effortlessly charming way.
Bryony Page, an ESL teacher by day and an aspiring writer by night, crosses paths with Jack Sterling, a no-nonsense literary agent. Bryony's passion project is a sweeping novel inspired by her grandmother's life and dedication to helping immigrants achieve the American dream. When she tries to convince Jack that her book has real potential, he offers her a ghostwriting gig for Amelia Benedict, a best-selling rom-com novelist who craves the spotlight but lacks sustainable writing talent. Jack promises to help Bryony get her book published if she will tackle this new role—a job that sets them on a journey filled with witty banter, heartfelt moments, and a slow-burn connection.
The Perfect Rom-com is witty, delightful, and poignant, and I couldn't put it down. I lost sleep staying up to read "just one more chapter." Bryony and Jack's friendship and evolving relationship had me cheering from the sidelines. This kind of feel-good, page-turning romance hits all the right notes!
Request The Perfect Rom-com at your local library, preorder it at most retailers, or find it for sale on Amazon.
