What to expect
'Funny and delightful' - Abby Jimenez
Lucy Bowen has sworn off love.
After too many failed relationships, she’s over the fairytale – but working at NYC’s biggest romance publisher, Heartwarming, means she can’t escape it. When the company’s bestselling author, Ruby Jones, threatens to leave due to dwindling sales (and a complete lack of inspiration), Lucy’s boss takes drastic action.
Her new assignment? Go to a small lakeside town and find the spark for Ruby’s next big love story.
Lucy expects picture-perfect charm, but the town – and its grumpy yet extremely attractive restaurant owner, Liam – have other ideas. He’s skeptical of city folk, and she has zero interest in falling for a small-town cliché. But rom-com rule number one? Love finds you when you least expect it...
"Filled with humor, charm, and sizzling chemistry" - Stacey Kennedy, USA Today bestselling author

Equal parts "rom" and "com," Cristina Wolf's debut is a heartwarming story about finding a love that feels like home when you least expect it. I grinned, I laughed, I cried—this small-town romance has it all. A must-read for romance readers who love books about books!
Swati Hegde, author of CANT HELP FAKING IN LOVE and MATCH ME IF YOU CAN
-
A sweet, lighthearted rom com with the perfect blend of humour and heart, and nods to the key tropes and experiences we all love from a classic small town romance. Lucy’s story of self-discovery was also an inspiring reminder to follow what you truly want in your heart.

How to Write a Rom-Com is a charming and utterly fresh fish-out-of-water romance and perfect for anyone who's ever dreamed of being a heroine in a Hallmark movie! I loved watching Lucy discover her true "happily-ever-now" with the help of sexy small-town-man Liam and find the courage to live it

How To Write a Rom-Com is an utterly delightful and charming romance set in a small town I'd die to visit!

Such a quick, charming read! I loved the premise of How to Write a Rom-Com from the very start - an editorial assistant at a romance imprint sent to a small town to work on a book idea for a burnt out author? Brilliant. Lucy was such a great heroine. I really connected with her, and her weaning hope in romance being real. Her character arc was done so beautifully, from the eagerness for promotion and frustration to embracing the people of the gorgeously set lakeside town, to falling in love with Liam and realising what she wanted from her own life. The ending had me grinning like an idiot to my Kindle on a plane. Just loved it, such a lovely book. Would recommend to all rom com fans!
Maggie Eckersley, author of BACK IN THE SADDLE

I adore books about books and this love letter to small town romances was no exception. Filled with charm, humor, and all your favorite tropes, Wolf's heartwarming debut is as glittering as its lakeside setting, and reminds us that sometimes a fresh view is all you need to change your perspective.
Lindsay Hameroff, author of NEVER PLANNED ON YOU
-
Sweet, sexy and jam-packed full of wit, HOW TO WRITE A ROMCOM is a must read for romance lovers and anyone who has ever wondered what it would be like to write their own happy ending. With an entire cast of characters to fall in love with and a heroine to really root for, Cristina has created something magical to escape into this summer

Gilmore Girls fans will love this charming, clever spin on a small-town romance! With snappy writing and vibrant characters, HOW TO WRITE A ROM-COM is a heartwarming love story that will leave readers begging for a longer stay in Hudson Hollow.
