幽默、温馨、人物丰满、情节紧凑,感动人心的爱情小说佳作,出自《纽约时报》畅销作家凯瑟琳·森特的又一部佳作。
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?
艾玛·惠勒非常渴望成为一名编剧。她用尽一生学习、痴迷和撰写浪漫喜剧——能赢得写作比赛的那种!但她也是家中唯一能全职照顾父亲的人。现在,她终于有机会为著名编剧查理·叶茨重写剧本——查理·叶茨!她心目中的榜样与写作之神——她怎么能错过这个千载难逢的好机会?她那一辈子为人友善、热心肠的父亲又怎么会阻止她?
将照顾父亲的工作交给妹妹,艾玛将搬到洛杉矶,计划工作六周。这将是她人生中最重要的一场写作。但俗话说得好,榜样“只可远观不可靠近”。查理·叶茨不想和任何人一起写作,更不用说“一个无名小卒和人生输家”了。更糟糕的是,优秀如查理,也有自己的短板。他笔下的浪漫剧本糟糕到可怕,几乎是世界末日。但他不在乎剧本,更不在乎爱情,他认为爱情只是人类情感的又一场庞氏骗局。
但艾玛不会不战而退。她将捍卫自己,捍卫浪漫喜剧,捍卫爱情。她会让查理相信爱情故事很重要——即使她必须毫无意义地吻他。但是……如果那个吻不经意间令人惊叹呢?如果现实生活就是如此丰富,比小说和剧本更真实呢?如果他们写的爱情故事打破了艾玛的所有规则,并成真了呢?
