Wyatt and Hayley might be made for each other if only they can get …

Review of "Writer's Block" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

So happy I took a chance on this new Vali book. I really did love it. I would give it 4.5 if I could but rounded up.

My joy with Ali Vali books over the years has been hit and miss so, while I usually grab galleys of her books when I see them, I always go into them with, well, not the highest expectations. Writer's Block was a definite hit. And it'll for sure go on my re-read pile and likely my funk reading list.

What I loved: the humor, the chemistry, the peripheral characters, and the journals. What I didn't love: the way the conflict between the protagonists was handled. I can't really say more without giving spoilers but I'm not a fan of lack of communication as conflict. But I loved everything else enough to just go with the flow.

Wyatt and Hayley were great together and …

Wyatt and Hayley were great together and I actually was a little sad when I finished the book because I had a fun time hanging out with everyone. I forgot to mention that this book is smoking hot with the sex scenes. this is one of those that you probably don't want to read in public. Lordy.

Big thanks to Bold Strokes and NetGalley for the ARC!
