“Some couples are just written in the stars, and that’s Mars and West in Kara McDowell’s The Write Off. I love all their tension when they’re rival authors both nursing broken hearts and resentments from their first draft at a relationship, and then I love their history and tenderness toward each other as they work their way through a revision a full decade later. There’s pining and then there’s next-level pining (writing thinly veiled references to how much you love each other into your books). I was rooting for their happily ever after from page one!”—Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Never Been Shipped
“Laced with nostalgia and electric chemistry, The Write Off is an intimate second-chance romance that captures the delicious ache of two beautifully flawed people who can’t help but orbit each other. Kara McDowell deftly weaves past and present into a story pulsing with yearning and forgiveness, delivering a hard-won love you can’t help but root for.”—Ali Brady, USA Today bestselling author of Battle of the Bookstores
“Witty and writerly, McDowell’s romance debut crackles with enemies-to-lovers sparks and charges every page with Mars and West’s undeniable tension. Unraveling their dual timelines with deft insight, The Write Off is the bookish rom-com our shelves needed.”—Emily Wibberley & Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of The Roughest Draft
“The Write Off is heartfelt, honest, and beautifully written. The love story between Mars and West is whimsical and aspirational, while also masterfully realistic. This is second chance at its best!”—Neely Tubati Alexander, USA Today bestselling author of Courtroom Drama
