How to Write a Love Story - by Catherine Walsh (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

One writer, one editor, one hot summer . . . Will this be a romance for the books?

Ciara Sheridan's father has left her with three things: a sprawling and distinctly ramshackle estate on the Irish coast, the outline for the finale to his bestselling epic fantasy series that he wanted her to finish--and writer's block.

Enter Sam Avery Frank Sheridan fanboy and hotshot editor, sent from the New York publishing house direct to Ciara's doorstep--against Ciara's wishes and red pen at the ready.

With the deadline looming, Ciara and Sam have just a few weeks to stop bickering, write this novel, and secure Frank's legacy.

But as the summer heats up, so too does the tension between them. Will their own love story be the plot twist neither of them see coming?

Book Lovers meets Leap Year in this dual-POV, forced-proximity, bookish romantic comedy--the brand-new book from Irish author and romance bestseller Catherine Walsh

"How to Write a Love Story is hilarious, heartfelt, and effortlessly sexy--everything I adore in a Catherine Walsh romcom.

My new favorite book by one of my absolute favorite authors, and one I'll be returning to as often as possible."--Sarah Adler, USA Today bestselling author of Finders Keepers

"What a fun read! How to Write a Love Story by Catherine Walsh follows hyper-competent editor Sam and passionate but blocked author Ciara, who is tasked with the impossible: finish the final novel in the beloved fantasy series written by her late father. Set in an endearing Irish coastal village, this book brims with charm and romance, but it is the characters and nuanced conversation about grief, identity, and the cost of pursuing one's dreams that had me leaning in. I inhaled this book, and you will too!"--Uzma Jalaluddin, international bestselling author of Three Holidays and a Wedding
