"Sweet, clever, and full of heart. Unlikely Story is the perfect escape for book lovers and romantics alike."

Synopsis

Unlikely Story is a charming and smart romantic comedy about ambition, missed chances, and finding your way back to love. After walking away from a promising writing career, Libby finds herself editing other people's books instead of finishing her own. When she reconnects with her childhood crush—now a famous author—she's forced to face the story she never let herself write. Ali Rosen crafts a warm, witty novel about second chances and rewriting your future.

Our Take

Ali Rosen's Unlikely Story is a delightful read that will especially resonate with anyone who's ever struggled with creative courage. The publishing world backdrop provides the perfect setting for this story about second chances, while the slow-burn romance delivers just the right amount of tension and sweetness. Readers who enjoy Emily Henry and Beth O'Leary will find themselves highlighting passages and falling in love with these perfectly imperfect characters.
