Sally is a romantic who loves romcoms. Her roommate Harry doesn't believe in love. This is a very light and a bit silly read. Yet it makes me laugh out loud at times. Lots of eyerolling moments too. It's predictable but cute enough to made me want to keep reading. I liked the movie references. I've watched most of them. I liked the ending.
I received this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review.

I’m not sure why, but I just couldn’t finish this one. I’m a romcom fan but I think the characters fell a little bit flat. I kept trying to listen but couldn’t connect with it. I do think fans of the genre could enjoy this one but it wasn’t for me.

My name is Britt and I’m a romcom addict. A few of my favorites include Always Be My Maybe, 27 Dresses, 10 Things I Hate About You, and When Harry Met Sally. Nothing gets my heart fluttering better than a quick-witted conversation full of sexual innuendos, the smart one making the grumpy one fall to his/her knees, and a wonderful HEA.
That’s why I jumped at the chance to read Nobody Puts Romcoms In The Corner. As a lover of love, this premise sounded so good to me. I’ve read a couple books lately that I was looking for this vibe with that ultimately just fell flat, but I had high hopes this would be the one to satisfy me.
So did I get the HEA I was looking for? Let’s find out!
What I liked about the book:
1. I kind of know what I’m talking about when it comes to Romcoms, so believe me when I say, Kathryn Freeman NAILED IT! This had the perfect mixture of friction, comedy, and swoon. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that more perfectly invoked those same feelings I get when I watch a good romcom. I was so giddy reading this the entire time, that I could not put it down!
2. I loved that we got to see such rich characters in our MCs.
While Sally may have been the lover of all things love, she was also fierce and strong. What the book pointed out so well is just because someone loves love, doesn’t mean they’re blind to reality. We love the HEA, but we realize life is not a fairy tale by any means, we just want the zaps and tingles, or “fuzzies” and “bells”. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?!?! I loved the realistic take on this as a cynic with a love of romcoms.
Likewise, Harry was a true enigma himself and I loved it. With his outer shell of cynicism and sarcasm, it’s easy to bypass his soft-heart and protective nature of those he truly loves. For a guy so convinced love doesn’t exist, he sure did fall pretty hard for our leading lady pretty fast ❤️
Above all else, they had truly sizzling chemistry! I totally bought it that these two were meant to be from the very beginning and the happy butterflies in my tummy and I loved watching it play out!
3. Of course I loved the mix in with social media and the reenactment fails. Reading these scenes having the actual ones in my mind had me laughing so hard! It took the best moments of romcoms and poked fun at them, but still pushed our MCs into real love which was my ultimate hope and dream for this beautifully opposite couple.
4. Spin off potential! It’s there, you all, and I can’t wait to see if Kathryn expands on this group! I can just see something between Amy and Jack. MARK MY WORDS!
5. I did not realize when I requested this book that it was SUPER British. That’s kinda on me, knowing the publisher is HarperCollins UK

This was not for me, I read another book by this author and it was the same. The writing style just doesn’t work for me, we jump into a very surface level story with awkward and cringe worthy interactions. The idea of this is really cute and I love romcoms, but I just couldn’t get into this and don’t want to read on, thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free preview in exchange for an honest review.
