 GoodReads synopsys:

Savannah Cade is a low-level editor at Pennington Publishing, a prestigious publisher producing only the highest of highbrow titles. And while editing the latest edition of The Anthology of Medieval Didactic Poetry may be her day job, she has two secrets she’s hiding.

One: She’s writing a romance novel.

Two: She’s discovered the Book Nook—a secret room in the publishing house where she finds inspiration for her “lowbrow” hobby.

After leaving her manuscript behind one afternoon, she returns to the nook only to discover someone has written notes in the margins. Savannah’s first response to the criticism is defensive, but events transpire that force her to admit that she needs the help of this shadowy editor after all. As the notes take a turn for the romantic, and as Savannah’s madcap life gets more complicated than ever, she uses the process of elimination to identify her mysterious editor—only to discover that what she truly wants and what she should want just might not be the same. Melissa Ferguson’s latest—a love letter to books, readers, and romance—will leave fans laughing out loud and swooning in the same breath

 My thoughts:

Likes:⁠
- a love story set in the world of publishing⁠
- the two main characters' alter-egos talk through notes and post-its⁠
- the hidden room!⁠

- redeemed sisters relationship⁠

Dislikes: ⁠
- the female main character's family⁠

- rather cheesy, but I knew that going in⁠
- not much depth over-all⁠
- the sister's fiancé. ugh!⁠

 I received a free copy of the e-book of this novel from the publisher via Net Galley. All thoughts expressed here are my own.
