Not in My Book by Katie Holt

This was such a fun and creative take on enemies-to-lovers! The concept of Rosie and Aiden essentially writing themselves into their book as stand-ins for their characters was genius, and I loved how their writing sessions mirrored the emotional tension and eventual growth in their relationship. Rosie’s optimism and Aiden’s grumpy-literary-snob vibes balanced each other perfectly, with just the right amount of banter and chemistry. Watching Aiden fall first—and harder—was incredibly satisfying, especially as he tried to win her over through actions, not just words. While I loved their dynamic and the bookish setting, some parts of the competition subplot felt a little rushed. Overall, though, this delivered heart, spice, and clever twists for any book lover.
