Rezension von ConnyDieses Buch lag viel zu lange auf meinem SuB: "Die Rom-Commers" von Katherine Center, erschienen bei Lübbe. Im November habe ich es mir gekauft, da mich der Klappentext sofort angesprochen hat. Sofort zog mich die Autorin in die Geschichte um zwei Drehbuchautoren, die man beide mit ihren Ecken und Kanten einfach lieben musste. Emma Wheeler, deren Herz komplett romantischen Komödien gehört, und der erfolgreiche Drehbuchautor für Action-Blockbuster, Charlie, haben mein Herz im Sturm erobert. Die Chemie stimmte einfach und ich flog dank des lockeren Schreibstils der Autorin nur so durch die Seiten. Die Wortgefechte zwischen den beiden waren einfach immer perfekt, spitz und charmant. Die Autorin verpasste beiden eine glaubwürdige Backstory, die ihnen Tiefe gab und dazu führte, dass sie authentisch wirkten und ich dadurch ihr Tun und Handeln nachvollziehen konnte. Liebevoll wurde die Storyline ausgeschmückt, und auch wenn man bei einer romantischen Komödie, wie es Emma Wheeler nicht müde wird zu erklären, weiß, worauf sie hinausläuft, liebte ich den Weg dorthin. Er war gespickt mit lustigen Szenen und Wortwitz, der mich oft schmunzeln ließ. Ange-reichert wurde die gut konstruierte Storyline noch mit tief ausgearbeiteten Nebencharakteren, wodurch es noch mehr Spaß machte, Emma und Charlie auf ihrem Weg zum Happy End zu folgen. Allen Fans von romantischen Komödien kann ich dieses Buch mit 4 von 5 Sternen nur empfehlen. Eine locker-leicht Lektüre, die auch ein paar ernste Themen einbezog, hat mich aber ausgezeichnet unterhalten.
Rezension von Nina 🏹3,5 ⭐️ Das Buch fand ich wirklich süß, aber für mich leider kein richtiges Highlight und wird wahrscheinlich auch nicht wirklich in Erinnerung bleiben 🙂↔️ Was mich ein bisschen gestört hat: Das Buch ist nur aus der POV von der Protagonisten geschrieben. Ich glaube, es hätte total von einem Dual POV profitiert. Ich muss einfach mitlesen können, wie sich der Mann verliebt, das gehört für mich bei einer guten Rom Com irgendwie dazu!🥹 Trotzdem ein nettes Buch für zwischendurch, nur eben nicht mehr 🥴
Rezension von AnnI hated her, him and his nostrils
Rezension von RoyI really wanted to love this. The Rom-Commers sounded great on paper. Looking at the average rating, I'm really questioning if I've somehow read a different book than everyone else because this is my least favorite romance I've read. Ever. Emma, the main character was insufferable and had a serious issue with respecting other peoples' boundaries. Charlie, the love interest seemed to lack basic communcation skills. The setup for these two to write the screenplay together was kind of ridiculous. And the ending had one of my least favorite tropes ever. To top it all off, <spoiler> 1. Emma at one point suggests Charlie, who I guess is in his thirties, should make out with a nineteen year old since it's "legal enough". 2. Emma could not seem to accept a no for an answer on multiple occasions and Charlie literally held up a "weapon of self-defense" to make her stop pestering him. 3. The word "pooh-poohing" was used. 4. Emma accuses Charlie of finding her "revolting" because he tells her he doesn't want to make out with her. 5. After Charlie tells her he doesn't want to make out with her because she is drunk and is not able to give consent, Emma's internal monologue is: "Ugh. Now he was throwing consent at me?" I literally could go on forever.</spoiler>
Rezension von MiineThis story has my heart.
