How to Write a Love Story

A Novel

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—red pen ready.

At first, Ciara and Sam butt heads with crackling energy. But with the deadline looming, Ciara and Sam have just a few weeks to stop bickering, write this novel, and secure Frank's legacy.

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?

Catherine Walsh is now an auto-buy author for me

I’ve read and enjoyed Catherine Walsh’s other novels and they keep getting better. I really like how she was able to express Ciara’s ambivalence towards her father and the world he created. I understood how she could be proud of his novels and yet resent them for taking her father away from her so often. I loved how the author showed that feelings are complex and often even conflicting. And Sam’s character grew on me in the same way he grew on Ciara. Very clever writing. I will be auto-buying her novels from here on out!
My one complaint is that the female narrator narrated Sam with an Irish accent (he’s American) and the male narrator narrated Ciara with an American accent (she’s Irish) which I found to be a little annoying.

How to live a love story!

How to live a love story! I enjoyed this story based upon writing a love story. Great narration!

So freaking cute

These narrators were pretty good, I feel like I would have liked them to have the accents of the other characters, but it really didn’t take me out of the story!

This was adorable! Such a fun little read, lots of funny and sweet moments. I thought Ciara and Sam were total cuties. I’m gushing over this story. Now I am seriously hoping for a Maddie and Shane story because there has got to be something there!

Lovely and sweet

This book is a delight. Ireland, love story, friendship, slightly steamy, slow burn. It’s just what the doctor ordered

Fun
