I've been looking forward to reading Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan since I've heard so many glowing reviews. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Hillary Huber and loved it! I've never given a romance 5 stars, but this story definitely deserves it. If this book created the romance trope of a "normal" person falling in love with a "famous" person, I'm here for it if they are all this well-written.
I really liked how 'real' Nora was - her dry sense of humor, her strong sense of self, and the love for her children. I wasn't sure about Leo at first, but he definitely found his way into my heart. And Nora's daughter and son felt realistic and added to the story. I was so invested in these characters, I gasped when the source of the inevitable conflict was revealed. And I had a big smile on my face as I listened to the final chapter with its HEA ending.
Thank you to Putnam and NetGalley for the egalley. Now I'm very eager to read the author's next novel Same Time Next Summer which is scheduled to publish June 6, 2023.
