Why read it?

2 authors picked Nora Goes Off Script as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Talk about swoon-worthy: recently divorced regular gal Nora is a Hallmark-style screenwriter until her latest script is tapped for the big screen starring the “sexiest man alive,” Leo.

I was drawn in by the fantasy of crushing on a movie star, but I stayed for the relatability and depth of the main character. This was one I read in about twenty-four hours because I needed to know whether Nora would find her happy ending.

I also appreciated that this book left some things to the imagination. It was heavier on the romance than the sex.

Annabel Monaghan has such a gift for writing characters who feel real, relatable, and make us want to root for them, and I really did root for Nora and Leo in this novel of unlikely friendship and love.

I laughed, but it also got me thinking about marriage, family, and the heart’s willingness to heal and love again. Monaghan writes with smart and charming style. I could smell the coffee as Nora was watching the quiet sunrise.
