She's written dozens of smash hit novels as a ghostwriter. 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 pitching 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 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.

This book is an absolute gem—a heart-squeezing, emotional journey with just the right touch of heartwarming romance. I fell head over heels for Bryony Paige and her beautifully crafted story. Her connection to The Bridge—a community program in Florence, NY, that helps immigrants and refugees learn English and find hope—is both inspiring and deeply moving. This book doesn’t just tell a story; it encourages readers to be the change they want to see in the world.
And then there’s Jack Sterling—the grumpy literary agent with a heart of gold hidden behind a tough exterior. He’s the perfect blend of sunshine and snark, making his scenes an absolute delight.
If you love an emotional, heartwarming story that stays with you long after the last page, The Perfect Rom-Com is a must-read. Do yourself a favor—get this book, devour it, and spread the word about Melissa, an incredible author!
