My Review:
Can I just say I loved The Romcom Remake by Jen Atkinson and leave it at that? No? Well, I will say a bit more.
Fran is so naïve, but you gotta love her. She didn't have the greatest childhood, and she has worked hard to get where she is. She doesn't have a lot of self-esteem, so she doesn't feel like she can turn a guy down when he asks her out. She is determined to recreate the perfect romcom moment.
Callum is all about soccer. Unfortunately for him, ever since he started dating Simone, even though they have since broken up, his game stinks. He practices so hard, but still isn't doing great. Lucky for him, he seems to have found his lucky charm.

But sometimes the best love stories are the ones that don’t follow the script.
Is it too much to ask for a romcom-level romance?
Fran Fairchild doesn’t think so.
After growing up in a loveless home, she is determined to script her own happily-ever-after.
True love is out there. It’s real. And Fran won’t be leaving without it.
But so far, her romcom remakes have been one epic fail after another.
Until one unexpected kiss from a handsome stranger saves her from public humiliation—
Callum Whitaker–professional
soccer player and certified romance skeptic–didn’t plan to kiss Fran.
Or to spiral into a six-month goal drought. Let’s just say the universe
isn’t playing fair.
After a toxic relationship, Callum has
decided that love isn’t part of his agenda… while scoring goals on the
field is. Only the more he focuses on his game–the worse it gets.
Until Fran.
Yep,
quirky, cute little Fran–who Callum is determined NOT to fall for–just
might be his lucky charm. That kiss and her schemes are changing his
game.
But Fran’s got more than luck on her side–she’s on a
Convince Callum that love is not the enemy. And somehow, it’s working.

Or maybe he just needs Fran.
The
RomCom Remake is a laugh-out-loud, closed door romcom. Expect swoony
kisses, cackle-inducing moments, heart-thumping heroes, and one
adorable, hopeless, romcom remaking heroine. And ZERO explicit scenes!
