"Meet Me in the Margins is a delightfully charming jewel of a book that fans of romantic comedy won't be able to put down!" --Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of A Happier Life You've Got Mail meets The Proposal--this romance is one for the books. Savannah Cade's dreams are coming true. The Claire Donovan, editor-in-chief of the most successful romance publishing company in the country, has requested to see the manuscript Savannah's been secretly writing. The only problem: she's an editor for a different company, and their philosophy is only highbrow works are worth printing and romance should be reserved for the lowest level of Dante's inferno. But when Savannah drops her manuscript during a staff meeting and nearly exposes herself to the whole company--including William Pennington, the new boss and son of the romance-despising CEO herself--she has no choice but to hide the manuscript in a hidden room. When she returns, she's dismayed to discover that someone has not only been in her hidden nook but has written notes in the margins--quite critical ones. But when Claire's own reaction turns out to be nearly identical to the scribbled remarks, and, worse, Claire announces that Savannah has six weeks to resubmit before she retires, Savannah finds herself forced to seek the help of the shadowy editor after all. As their notes back and forth start to fill up the pages, however, Savannah finds him becoming pivotal not just to her work but her life. There's no doubt about it: she's falling for her mystery editor. If she only knew who he was. Meet Me in the Margins is a delightful rom-com that combines the witty banter and tension of You've Got Mail with the clean and heartwarming romance found in Katherine Center's novels. With its fun premise and charming characters, this book is perfect for book clubs and girls' nights. Plus, it includes discussion questions to spark engaging conversations about love, literature, and the power of second chances.

"This was a cute and funny book. The main character works at a publishing company as an assistant editor while also longing to get her own romance book published. The publishing company is known for only valuing “high literary works” and is scornful toward many genres including romance.The book is a light slow burn read with no sex scenes. It also made some excellent points critiquing the stereotypical ‘perfectly imperfect’ main character tropes in many books that don’t humanize their characters. I liked how this book incorporated the main character’s career, ambitions, and familial relationships into the plot. The harmful family dynamics do get glossed over a lot and is a little unrealistic however, I’m glad that some things were addressed even if not at the psychological and emotional level that was necessary. It was a pretty good read. 📚 "
"Wow, I'm in love with the male lead! The writer created such a wonderful character, I legit love all the scenes with him. Although some parts of the novel looked very unconvincing - heroine's relationship with her family and how quickly and easily all the problems were resolved - I did enjoy the romance part very much. A nice clean read!"
"Quick read with a romance storyline. The characters are likeable but you wish the author would've not made the main character so naive."

"This is such a cute novel, and I do mean cute because it’s safe for children to read. It makes a joke about Hallmark meet-cutes even though this itself is Hallmark-level predictable. However, I still loved it. It has good characters that clearly have chemistry and has really good pacing so I never wanted to put the book down."
