正在改寫浪漫故事劇本的她,也能改寫自己人生的愛情劇本嗎?
成為劇作家是艾瑪.薇樂的畢生志願,多年來她一直瘋狂鑽研、撰寫各種浪漫喜劇劇本,還贏得了比賽。然而,她也是父親的全天候看護。這時有個夢想中的職缺上門了—艾瑪獲得為她心中的編劇之神—查理.葉慈改寫劇本的機會。於是艾瑪的妹妹擔任起看護的責任,艾瑪則搬到洛杉磯展開六週的劇作家生活。
有句俗話說,千萬不要和自己心中的偉人見面。查理對聯手創作完全沒興趣,還嫌她是個失敗的無名之輩。他手上的這篇浪漫喜劇劇本糟糕透頂,根本就是讓另一個劇本獲得投資的跳板。而且,查理認為愛情是某種形式的龐氏騙局,沒有意義。
不過艾瑪絕對不會不戰而降,她要為自己、為浪漫喜劇、為愛情挺身而出,即使必須瘋狂地用熱吻說服查理⋯兩人之間的發展,即將比手上的劇本還要超出意料。(文/博客來外文館)
The New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center’s next laugh out loud, feel good rom-com about writing your own story.
She’s rewriting his love story. But can she rewrite her own?
Emma Wheeler desperately longs to be a screenwriter. She’s spent her life studying, obsessing over, and writing romantic comedies--good ones! That win contests! But she’s also been the sole caretaker for her kind-hearted dad, who needs full-time care. Now, when she gets a chance to re-write a script for famous screenwriter Charlie Yates--The Charlie Yates! Her personal writing god!--it’s a break too big to pass up.
Emma’s younger sister steps in for caretaking duties, and Emma moves to L.A. for six weeks for the writing gig of a lifetime. But what is it they say? Don’t meet your heroes? Charlie Yates doesn’t want to write with anyone--much less "a failed, nobody screenwriter." Worse, the romantic comedy he’s written is so terrible it might actually bring on the apocalypse. Plus! He doesn’t even care about the script--it’s just a means to get a different one green-lit. Oh, and he thinks love is an emotional Ponzi scheme.
But Emma’s not going down without a fight. She will stand up for herself, and for rom-coms, and for love itself. She will convince him that love stories matter--even if she has to kiss him senseless to do it. But . . . what if that kiss is accidentally amazing? What if real life turns out to be so much . . . more real than fiction? What if the love story they’re writing breaks all Emma’s rules--and comes true?
