A fun romantic comedy about a woman writing under a male pseudonym and the man she hires to play the role in public. Daphne McFadden is tired of rejection. After submitting her manuscript to dozens of agents, she's gotten rejection after rejection, and now it's time for something drastic. And so, Daphne submits her manuscript again… under a man's name. Imagine her surprise when it sells for big money at an auction and soon becomes a publicity darling. Only she needs a man to play her super macho alter ego Zane Remington. Enter Chris Stanton, who absolutely looks the part of a survivalist and has a talent for pressing her piss‑me‑off‑I‑dare‑you buttons while somehow being endearing at the same time. But Chris has a few secrets of his own, including the fact that he’s really an accountant who has no idea how to chop wood or paddle a canoe. When Daphne's book becomes a bestselling sensation and they're forced to go on tour together, Daphne finds herself wondering if this city‑boy geek is exactly what she needs to push her to claim her dreams.

0Finding Mr. Write is the perfect fun, light romantic read for the summer. Both Daphne and Chris are very likeable characters, and their romance was cute, but it also felt kind of rushed. I would have liked to see more development in their relationship, some more chemistry. Yes they both thought the other was hot, and both were charming and nice, but it felt like there needed to be more there.
The writing was very engaging, especially at the beginning, however somewhere towards the middle the story just started to fall a little flat for me. I was still enjoying the book and having a good time, but once the book tour started, my interest starting waning a tad. I'm personally not a fan of the miscommunication trope, and I don't want to to give spoilers, but I felt a lot what was going on was overly dramatic and not as big a deal as the characters thought. The resolution to the big conflict at the end also fell sort of flat for me and I wish it had been handled differently.
Overall this book was a good time! Chris especially got a few laughs out of me. I'd recommend if you're looking for a fast, fun read.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!
