Write For You

Title: Write for You

Series: City Love #5

Author: Megan Byrd

Publisher: Ardenville Press

Genre: Romance, Fiction,

Source: Author provided

My Review:

While Write for You is the fifth book in the City Love series, it can easily stand alone. I have not read any other books in the series and don't feel that I missed anything.

Write for You is written in a dual POV, alternating between Anna and Brody. Anna is desperate to fall in love and get married. Brody struggles with anxiety and has been secretly pining for Anna for a year. This story is a very slow burn romance.

Read for:

✉ Pen Pals

✉ Book club

✉ Blind dates and a book

✉ he falls first

✉ secret identity

✉ bad dates

Write for You is a cute story with a unique plotline, but I did not connect with it as much as I wanted to. I got annoyed with Anna for being instantly attracted to each guy she went out with, and wanting something to be there on the first date. It came across as desperation. I loved the idea of the book club, but I hadn't read any of the books they had read, making it hard to connect with that part of the story. I did love the friendship among the members of the club though. 

Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):


WILL BLIND DATES LEAD TO DISASTER OR TRUE LOVE?

The book club is taking over Anna’s dating life. After failing to find compatible men on dating apps or in person, the Book Babes are stepping in to find her true love. The book she picks each meeting determines her date and their activity. This method can’t be worse than her previous efforts, right?

Brody has pined after the sweet librarian from his corner cubicle for over a year. While he’s a whiz with words on paper, real-life interactions with attractive women trigger his anxiety. Can he figure out a way to reveal his feelings without tripping over his own tongue before Anna meets the man of her dreams via the Blind Date and a Book challenge?

Fans of You've Got Mail will enjoy this hidden identity, slow burn contemporary romance involving letter writing, lots of terrible dates, and a swoony happily ever after.

  1. Anna does sound a little desperate. But the book club part sounds like fun. Too bad my library doesn't have a copy.
