Expected 4 Jun 26Lights. Camera. Attraction…Your next enemies-to-lovers obsession! Perfect for fans of Set it Up and The Hating Game 🎬✨❤️The real story happens behind the scenes…
Lucie is overworked and underappreciated. She’s sick of putting her life on hold to be available to her boss 24/7, all in the hopes of finally landing her dream job as a film producer. When she gets the chance to fly to New York and work on a major movie script she’s determined not to let anything, or anyone, stand in her way.
Elliot is overlooked and overqualified. If he can re-work the script into something award-worthy, he’ll finally get the chance to direct his own films. The stakes couldn’t be higher, so the last thing he needs is some upstart amateur from London swooping in.
Cue the bickering and late-night rewrites. The more Lucie and Elliot are forced together the more sparks begin to fly, and soon they realise they might just make the perfect pair— but, soon they’ll find themselves tested in ways they never could have imagined …
Can they come together to script their very own happily-ever-after, or is this love story destined to end in tragedy?

3.75 rounded up. Thank you to Avon Books UK and NetGalley for sending me an ARC of Crazy Scripted Love in exchange for an honest review.
Oooo a workplace “enemies” to lovers with the back drop of the film industry set in New York? Say less!
Lucie is an overworked, undervalued PA in London who puts work above everything else life has to offer in the hopes of furthering her career. She unexpectedly gets the chance of a lifetime to travel to New York and work on a huge movie script - this could finally be the break she’s been working for.
Once she arrives in NYC, Lucie finds herself working on the script alongside Elliot, who has dreams of becoming a director and stepping out of the shadows of his boss. Unfortunately, Lucie and Elliot can’t seem to agree on anything and spend their time arguing over every single detail. The bickering soon becomes flirty banter, and they can’t ignore the firey tension for long..
This was an easy, fun read. The film industry was a great backdrop, as it really laid the groundwork for the burnout, stress, exhaustion and cutthroat reality of working in media both Lucie & Elliot were experiencing.
I wanted to shake Lucie at times, bless her. She was so naive, Ralf got my hackles up immediately and was a walking red flag, and I cannot fathom WHY she would have believed a single thing that came out of his mouth! Girl!! I also could have done with a bit more of her struggling to maintain her friendship with Bex from halfway across the world - it kind of felt as though she was an afterthought. On the flip side, her friendship with Sol was amazing and Sol was easily the best character in the book!
Elliot was a bit of a grump, but honestly he was just like moderately annoyed most of the time - I cannot blame him with the fools he was surrounded with (excluding Lucie!).
The romance was fine, though I actually didn’t really feel that they had palpable chemistry. Their flirty banter was fun, but their relationship really went from 0-100 pretty damn quick. I guess when you know you know, and this IS a romance so I can’t really complain about that. It was slow burn until it wasn’t, as always I could have just done with a touch more yearning. Maybe this being a dual POV would have made the romance work better for me?
There were more “twists” than I was expecting for this kind of book, though every single one of them was broadcasted like a flashing neon sign well in advance. Again, not necessarily a bad thing..just an observation!
Crazy Scripted Love is a fun, low stakes read. If you’re into movies, or “enemies” to lovers/forced proximity/workplace romance/found family vibes, I think you’ll have a good time!

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
3.75 rounded up ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
"Crazy Scripted Love" is a workplace romcom set in the messy, high-pressure world of film production. Lucie and Elliot have both spent years of their lives making sacrifices and working hard to achieve their dream jobs in the film world - Lucie as a producer, Elliott as a director. An accidentally sent email leads to Lucie moving from London to New York and working with Elliott on a script. He is less than thrilled and not afraid to let Lucie know it. The tension and chemistry are fun from the start. The banter is quick and witty and keeps the story moving at a steady, addictive pace. Overall, this is a light, entertaining read full of friends, achieving your goals and swoony romance.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Publishing for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
Overall I liked this book however it was a slow start and I came back to it after putting it down for a few days. Once it got going and Lucie and Elliot became true “enemies to lovers”, it got better. It was a quick read and a different kind of story. I’m a huge movie fan and this side of the camera hit the spot. I would recommend this book to others and it was a good break from some of my normal romance troupes.

Crazy Scripted Love was a cute, easy read for me.
Overall, I thought it was a sweet love story and one that was enjoyable enough to keep me reading, but it didn’t fully wow me. Parts were infuriating and made me want to throw my Kindle. It had some fun romantic moments and definitely gave that light, feel-good vibe, but for me ot landed at 3 stars.
If you’re in the mood for something quick, cute, and romance-forward, this one may be worth picking up.

Thank you to NetGalley and Elizabeth Drummond for the ARC! This was a 3.75 ⭐️ for me! I loved the story, the formatting was a little funky in the copy I got so it threw me off a little bit trying to figure out who’s dialogue was who’s but aside from that it was a good story! Would recommend for sure!
