The Roughest Draft by Austin Siegemund-Broka, Emily Wibberley

3.0

I feel like the marketing of this book is what led to its mixed reviews. I've seen this book shelved next to romcoms, and its cover makes it seem like you're picking up a lighthearted romance. But that's not what this is. I would categorize it more as contemporary fiction than romance, hinting at literary at times.

If you liked Love and Other Words and Beach Read, you might enjoy The Roughest Draft. Despite being a fan of both those books, The Roughest Draft still felt a little short for me. I struggled to connect with the characters and be interested in the plot. But that doesn't make it a bad book, it's just not for me.

2.5/5 stars
