Meet Me in the Margins is a delightfully charming jewel of a book that fans of romantic comedy won't be able to put down! --Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of A Happier Life

You've Got Mail meets The Proposal—this romance is one for the books.

Savannah Cade's dreams are coming true. The Claire Donovan, editor-in-chief of the most successful romance publishing company in the country, has requested to see the manuscript Savannah's been secretly writing. The only problem: she's an editor for a different company, and their philosophy is that only highbrow works are worth printing and romance should be reserved for the lowest level of Dante's inferno.

But when Savannah drops her manuscript during a staff meeting and nearly exposes herself to the whole company—including William Pennington, the new boss and son of the romance-despising CEO herself—she has no choice but to hide the manuscript in a hidden room.

When she returns, she's dismayed to discover that someone has not only been in her hidden nook but has written notes in the margins—quite critical ones. But when Claire's own reaction turns out to be nearly identical to the scribbled remarks, and, worse, Claire announces that Savannah has six weeks to resubmit before she retires, Savannah finds herself forced to seek the help of the shadowy editor after all.

As their notes back and forth start to fill up the pages, however, Savannah finds him becoming pivotal not just to her work but her life. There's no doubt about it: she's falling for her mystery editor. If she only knew who he was.

Meet Me in the Margins is a delightful rom-com that combines the witty banter and tension of You've Got Mail with the clean and heartwarming romance found in Katherine Center's novels. With its fun premise and charming characters, this book is perfect for book clubs and girls' nights. Plus, it includes discussion questions to spark engaging conversations about love, literature, and the power of second chances.
