Sometimes, my life is a series of deadlines and chaos, and then a book pops up that pushes through all of that chaos. How to Write a Love Story was that book for me. From the very first page, Ciara and Sam had my heart. They both ring so true through the pages, and I could see myself quite happily at a pub with either of them- or both!
How to Write a Love Story was full of the Irish charm we all know and love, as well as the tenderness between author and editor in the midst of a journey. Ciara’s writer’s block and complicated feelings about her dad’s passing was just so real and raw. Like Sam in so many moments, I just wanted to reach out and hug her. I was so happy when he finally did.
I loved this book a hell of a lot- enough that I’m struggling to put it into words. Catherine Walsh wrote such a beautiful love story and I know it’s not one that’s going to leave my mind and heart anytime soon. I need more from her ASAP, and if I don’t get Maddie’s story next, I may simply pass away!
