Ashlee's Reviews > Writer's Block

I love Ali Vali’s beautiful descriptions of her settings in Nola, I always feel like making a quick trip there after reading one. I really liked this new release, it does not include a thriller side story like a lot of her work and focuses on the romance between the two MCs but I enjoyed reading it and devoured it in one afternoon. Wyatt is a well known writer having a bit of an issue with writers block after losing her parents. She eludes her agent by running away and buying a house in New Orleans on a whim. There she has some encounters with her neighbor Hayley and meets a cast of characters in her new neighborhood. Hayley works as an editor for a small publisher and now that she’s got her dream job is looking for someone to come home to at night. As Wyatt renovates her new home she finds some old journals that tell her a story that inspires her next moves. I really liked this one, maybe more than some of the other books by Ali Vali. The characters were engaging and I felt like the plot was unique to anything I have read before. The side characters were funny and mostly what you’d expect to see in a southern city like Nola. I’d recommend picking this up if you’re looking for a fun rom com type book to fill your afternoon.
