No Words / Meg Cabot
1,001 Days of Awesome Reads - Day 201
I’m apparently late to this charming, witty Little Bridge Island party, but I’m really glad I made it! NO WORDS is a fun, clever book I really enjoyed, and I have the other two in my Libby wish list.
I mean, yes, we pick up on the obvious character masks and screen, but there’s a lot of twists and turns behind the scenes that we don’t expect, and when all the pieces come together, it’s a very rewarding whole. Yes, we have hints and clues, and we make some good guesses, but when all is said and done, I doubt too many people put everything in the right places, and even if they did, they’re still going to have that warm, fuzzy the author got it right feeling in the end.
Very smart and satisfying!
Happy reading! xoxo

NO WORDS
Meg Cabot,#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries, returns to Little Bridge Island with a new story about a children’s book author with a case of writer’s block and an arrogant novelist who have to set aside their differences as they get through a weekend long book festival that just might change everything—including their feelings for each other.
Don’t Judge a Book by Its Author...
Welcome to Little Bridge, one of the smallest, most beautiful islands in the Florida Keys.
Jo Wright always swore she’d never step foot on Little Bridge Island—not as long as her nemesis, bestselling author Will Price, is living there.
Then Jo’s given an offer she can’t refuse: an all-expense paid trip to speak and sign at the island’s first ever book festival.
Even though arrogant Will is the last person Jo wants to see, she could really use the festival’s more-than-generous speaking fee. She’s suffering from a crippling case of writer’s block on the next installment of her bestselling children’s series, and her father needs financial help as well.
Then Jo hears that Will is off-island on the set of the film of his next book. Hallelujah!
But when she arrives on Little Bridge, Jo is in for a shock: Will is not only at the book festival, but seems genuinely sorry for his past actions—and more than willing not only to make amends, but prove to Jo that he’s a changed man.
Things seem to be looking up—until disaster strikes, causing Jo to wonder: Do any of us ever really know anyone?
About Bobbi Dumas
Hi! I’m Bobbi and I read, review, blog about and advocate for fiction written by women. I’ve written for NPR, Barnes & Noble and The New York Times Book Review, and wrote over 600 reviews for Kirkus and also penned the weekly Kirkus Romance (and Women’s Fiction) blog for a few years before parting ways with them in 2020. I believe that romance novels are (mostly) by women, for women, about women and of interest to women, and offer more hope, female agency and positive change than any other literary genre.
Women write great books, yet typically get less respect (and less review ink) than men do. While I do occasionally read books by men, I try to spotlight books by women and hold them up for the attention and appreciation they deserve.
I hope you’ll follow this space and find great new books to dive into.
Let’s read! xoxo
