38. Story of My Life

By Lucy Score (541 pp)

I bought the actual paperback of this book and it's very pretty with illustrated edges (I don't know what the real term is.) This a contemporary romance by a popular author that I was not familiar with. The story is about a successful romance novelist who goes through a nasty divorce and loses her writing mojo so she impulsively moves to a small town where she crosses paths with the Bishop family including sexy brother Cam and there is an immediate attraction. They decide to have some no strings fun and if you're a romance reader you can guess what happens next. It took me a little bit to get into the book -- I didn't get the tone right away and the heroine felt messy for the sake of messy and the hero seemed grumpy for the sake of being grumpy. But as the story went on, it was really funny and cozy with lots of great side characters and I enjoyed a great deal.

This is my last book of 2025. I only read 38 books but I read quite a few longer books and met my vague goal of 15k pages.

Happy reading in 2026.
