About the book

Achingly romantic, The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka is an intimate, swoon-worthy will-they-won't-they love story.

'Perfection' - Jodi Picoult, author of Wish You Were Here

Sometimes the best love stories start with The Roughest Draft . . .

Three years ago, Katrina Freeling and Nathan Van Huysen were the brightest literary stars on the horizon, their cowritten book topping bestseller lists. But on the heels of their greatest success, they ended their partnership on bad terms. They haven't spoken since, and never planned to - except they have one final book due on contract.

Forced to reunite, they hole up in a tiny Florida town, trying to finish a new manuscript quickly and painlessly. Working through the reasons they've hated each other for the past three years isn't easy, especially not while writing a romantic novel.

While passion and prose push them closer together in the Florida heat, Katrina and Nathan will learn that relationships, like writing, sometimes take a few rough drafts before they get it right . . .

'I love, love, LOVED this book' - Lyssa Kay Adams, author of Isn't It Bromantic?

    DNF @ 50 % I’m kind of disappointed in this book. I imagined it being a mix of „People we meet on vacation“ and „Beach read“ but it hit non of the points I liked in both books. The dynamic between the two protagonists felt like hate instead of tension during the first 50% of the book. The writing style is all over the place with both points of view in two different timelines. And both main characters had no personality. They mostly define themselves through their work. It really didn’t feel fun but rather sad.
