Review: Finding Mr. Write

by Kelley Armstrong

releasing June 25, 2024 from Forever

I’ve been a fan of Kelley Armstrong’s writing since her first novel, Bitten. She’s always had a bit of humour and romance in everything she writes, so I was excited to hear she was writing a romcom.

Finding Mr. Write didn’t disappoint.  I’m always here for the “com” part more than the “rom” and I laughed out loud so many times while reading this.

The story is a wonderfully goofy romcom setup: the heroine, Daphne, has written a zombie novel. She can’t get it published, so one day sends it out under a male name — and suddenly she has an offer.

She decides to hire someone to play her fake author, Zane Remington.  Enter the hero, Chris.

Both leads were charming, funny, and sweet.  I loved Chris’s nerdiness, and Daphne was a badass with relatable self esteem issues.

The first half of the novel was my favourite — set in the Yukon, it involved “Zane” pretending to be a tough mountain man, to great hilarity.  

I missed that aspect in the second half, but appreciated that the couple’s difficulties were based in real issues, not silly misunderstandings.

I really enjoyed this one and am excited for the author’s next romcom.
