A rom-com that talks about other rom-com, social media and how two people feel in love.
I had a lot of fun in finding the references, rooted for the characters, and appreciated the style of writing.
Can't wait to read the next one by this author.

Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

I absolutely love 80s Rom Com movies so this title really caught my attention! It was a fabulous fun romp of a read, watching Sally and Harry attempt some iconic RomCom scenes together to share on social media.
I liked the way they became friends and how as opposites they slowly became attracted, in a gentle but humorous manner.
A very clever and entertaining storyline, I was constantly guessing which scene would be chosen next!
A perfect relaxing read that was amusing and fun from the start until the end!
Will definitely look out for more from this author as I enjoyed her style of writing.

4.5 stars.

When Harry met Sally and literally every other great romcom there is…

Firstly I want to start off by saying that I annoyed the HECK out of this book on my kindle. I’m going to need the physical copy ASAP so I can annotate properly!!

I ADORED this book!! Man, I felt the chemistry between Harry and Sally and that is exactly what I look for in a romance. Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner was hilarious, witty and swoon worthy the whole way through.

Kathryn Freeman is the only author that can make me enjoy third person romance, yep I said it.

From the get go, I thought it was so refreshing to see the MMC actually laugh and have a good time with both the FMC and his friends. It wasn’t exactly grumpy x sunshine but not exactly sunshine x sunshine - the characters just felt like normal, happy people, but with their own family issues going on behind the scenes.

The book references TikTok A LOT, well it pretty much centres around TikTok. Usually, this is something I would stay away from but the references weren’t cringey at all and I really enjoyed the TikTok aspects of the story!

The ONLY thing that bugs me in literally any book is when the author writes out an emoji (eg crying with laughter emoji, hearts instead of eyes emoji). But that took up about 0.001% of the book so I didn’t care too much.

Aw I really hope Harry and Sally last forever, they both deserve it after everything they’ve been through.

This book was very kindly sent to me as an ARC by One More Chapter in exchange for an honest review

Phew! I loved this book so so much! Sally and Harry were so freaking hot together! They had all the chemistry and man was it fun watching them fall for each other.

Harry is a love cynic. He doesn't believe in it. He doesn't want it. It will never happen. Sally loves love. She loves romcoms and watches them all the time with her friends, her cafe is love themed and even has little notes from people whose love stories started there! She loves love. So of course when you put the two together it was so much fun. I loved the two of them recreating iconic rom-com scenes, especially since Harry didn't know them. Oh, they were so great together. They get each other and I loved this story! This is the first book from this author I have read but definitely won't be the last!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book

This was so much fun to read and lead to a lot of reminiscing over my favourite films.

Diry Dancing, Pretty Woman and Ghost are my absolute favourite films ever and visualing the re-enactments between Harry and Sally (another genius movie reference) was hilarious.

I mean we've all tried that lift at least once since seeing the film haven't we?

The plot is bloody brilliant, the characters amazing, you can't help but fall in love with them and their attempts to become Tiktok famous.

Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner is an absolute delight to read, it's heartwarming, gives you all the feels and I had the time of my life whilst reading it!

Many thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for my tour spot.

Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for giving me access to an advanced reader copy of Nobody Puts Romcoms In A Corner. I thought this book was super cute and I loved all the modern day references to social media. I loved the chemistry that Harry and Sally have from the very start, along with the input from each of their friends. It really made the book lively and entertaining. I did feel like the book dragged on a little in the middle and I would have liked to have seen a few more modern romcom scenes as well.

Such a cute book. I love Dirty Dancing its been my favorite movie, so when I saw this I knew I had to read it. I love how they acted out different rom coms. I loved the characters and banter. So good!

Four and a Half Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭒
Nobody Puts Romcoms In The Corner by Kathryn Freeman is a delightful romantic comedy that brings to life many iconic romantic comedy scenes.

Story Recap:
Sally is a romantic and she loves to watch romantic comedies. When she needs a new roommate, her friends recommend, Harry. Harry doesn’t like romcoms, but, he’s a good sport. When Harry and Sally have a bit too much to drink, and they decide to re-create the iconic Dirty Dancing movie lift, they are both surprised when the video goes viral.

Harry and Sally can use the extra money that viral videos can produce, so they decide to re-create an iconic rom-com scene every week. While they spend time together recreating sexy, funny, and romantic scenes, they grow closer together. But, even in iconic romcoms, life isn’t easy, and the path to happily ever after.

My Thoughts:
Like Sally, I also love to watch romcoms and I enjoyed this cute story. I knew every single scene they were re-enacting, and that made it really fun for me.

Sally is just such an authentic character. She wears her heart on he sleeve and she’s fun-loving and an optimist. I wasn’t sure about Harry at first, I didn’t like the way he talked about romcoms with Sally, and he was way too cynical, but once he volunteered to re-enact scenes with Sally, he stole my heart too.

The pacing was a bit off and the middle was too slow for me, but it was worth it to get to the end.

Recommendation:
I highly recommend Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner to anyone who enjoys romance. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book is like a fusion of some of my favourite things, romance books meets romcom films, the synopsis alone made me want to dive right into this book and I can tell you, this would make a great movie, would be a perfect romcom film.

Sally and Harry where wonderful characters, both so relatable and so cute, the scenes recreating the famous lift from Dirty Dancing was amazing and so funny, in fact part of what makes this book wonderful (beyond the fantastic romance that it is) is spotting you favourite movie refer and scenes as you read.

I loved the relationship between them, drama that gets in the way, strained exes and sibling relationships , these are really well done and not the usual ‘miscommunication’ which was so nice and refreshing. I loved the banter between the couple, can’t beat some good innuendo if you ask me.

If you’re looking for a book that is fun, sweet, laugh out loud hilarious and contains some of your favourite romcom scenes recreated, this is the perfect book for you, because it was for me.

Thanks to Kathryn Freeman, One More Chapter and Rachel’s Random Resources for a free e-book in return for an honest and voluntary review, all opinions are my own and freely given.

Absolutely laugh-out-loud, hilarious and fun, too,
No hesitation in highly recommending to you!
Sally is a romcom fan and believes in love still
Whilst Harry is a cynic and believes he never will.

Put these opposites together in a flat share
And see how long it will be before they both care!
Add in a challenge to re-enact a romcom scene
Add it to Tic Toc, the start of a series that'll now mean.

Selecting the scenes, filming their attempts, too,
Having fun, faking it, will it become something true?
But a vindictive ex, his parents and her sister
All prove to be like an uncomfortable blister.

Will their attraction grow or his cynicism cause it to fail?
Will they become their own romcom, or will it never set sail?
A gorgeous read that lightens your heart all the way through
And has you giggling out loud as your read it, too!

Great friendships for both, are added to the mix
In a romcom that has so many aspects to fix.
I totally enjoyed it right from the start
A romcom that's full of feelings all from the heart.

For my complementary copy, I say thank you,
As I share with you this, my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sally and Harry becomes roommates after Harry’s ex cheats on him and refuses to move out of his house. Strapped for cash, Sally get Harry to agree make TikTok videos recreating iconic RomCom moments.

The story is filled with classic RomCom scenes. It was so much fun! Harry is a cynic when it comes to love, and Sally’s looking for her one true love. Not exactly on the same page when it comes to love. There ended up being a ton of fun banter as they attempted to ignore the chemistry they had with each other. I was rooting for Sally and Harry the whole time!

I really enjoyed this story. It was an adorable read with a touch of spice! Check this book out if you like:

🤍Opposites Attract

If ever there was a romcom book that should become a movie, it’s this. How can you not love this premise?! Harry needs to rent a room to escape the cheating ex-gf who refuses to move out of his house, and Sally has a room to let after her sister moves out. Side note- the setting is Brighton, UK which I found special since every UK set book is either a silly romp through the Irish countryside or London. Anyways, during a sulk-sesh, the new roomies get drunk and debate romcom movies and ultimately re-enact the famous lift scene from Dirty Dancing, post to tiktok and are shocked to find they have gone viral. A brilliant plan to make a little side cash is hatched and the two decide to recreate a ton of other romantic scenes from beloved movies, including my favorite, Love Actually.
I absolutely loved reading this book. It ended up having way more depth and emotion than expected, but was perfectly balanced with the cute playfulness you would expect from the premise. Sally is constantly helping her younger sister, always having to be the strong adult, having been forced into a mother role after their parents early death. Harry’s ex-gf is a nightmare and his own parents have so much baggage they can’t give him the time of day. Both of the MC’s have awesome friends who really come through for them in the latter half of the story, and really gave the book a little more heart. It’s very much a found-family vibe. 4 ⭐️

Thank you NetGalley & the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my unbiased opinion!

This book was a dream for this little lover of romcoms. It ticked some of my favourite trope boxes and with the lovely Sally as the leading lady and cynical Harry as the unwilling victim there was never any doubt that these two were deserving of a romcom all of their own.

In typical romantic fiction style the path to true love is never smooth and they hit a few bumps along the way. Those bumps being an ex who refuses to leave the house, a complicated sibling relationship, Harry’s warring parents and one very opinionated best friend called Kitty.

I loved that Sally was described as having her head in a romantic bubble but also having a backbone of steel. Women can be many things at the same time so I really appreciated that we could be shown as being soft hearted but also fierce, strong and entirely capable.

It was a joy to spot all the movie scenes and especially when Never been kissed was mentioned. Who didn’t love the pitchers mound scene and have a crush on that teacher?

So will Harry discover what it takes to be her romantic movie hero? Will Sally get her card in The Love Bean cafe window and more importantly her happy ever after?

The perfect read for Valentine’s Day this will put a glow in your heart and a smile on your face.

3.75/5

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read an eARC of this book.

This was a cute British romcom which as a Beth O'Leary fan I always enjoy. Initially when I saw the words "Tik-Tok" in the book I was sort of put off as I don't love when there are bits of information that are currently relevant in the book I am reading. I grew to love the concept that Tik Tok brought in, but I will say it was hard for me to imagine what was actually in the videos and what wasn't (it's honestly not that big of deal). I thought Harry and Sally were cute, but I wouldn't say they were the cutest book couple I have read. This was a simple, cute, fun read and it did everything I needed it to do. I will check out more of Kathryn Freeman's books in the future.

As a romcom lover I adored all the references and would absolutely reread this nice cozy romance when I need a pick me up!

Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner

This romantic comedy centered novel combines the love stories we’ve fantasized about our entire life with the reality of live and dating in the modern world. A man who doesn’t believe in love meets a woman who lives in a rom com fantasy and the combination becomes a viral tik tok sensation. A sweet read with a cute twist.

Forced proximity
Grumpy/sunshine
Opposites attract


“‘It’s a romcom,’ he said mildly. ‘The guy was going to get the girl.’
‘But you didn’t know how that was going to happen,’ she argued. ‘It annoys me when people say romcoms are predictable. In murder mysteries you know someone is going to get murdered, and someone is going to work out who did it. In action films the hero always achieves his mission.’”

I’m not going to lie. I requested this book solely based on the cover and the title. Dirty Dancing is one of my favorite movies ever. Despite the title, with the characters’ names being Harry and Sally, I was expecting this book to be a remix of Sleeping in Seattle. However, this book was uniquely the characters’ love story.
I was hooked early in the story when Harry and Sally recreated the iconic lift scene from Dirty Dancing. This scene was hilarious! When Sally posts the clip on TikTok, it blows up. After realizing that they could make money through sponsorships online, Sally asks Harry to continue to make videos with her. After being cheated on and his parents separating, Harry is skeptical of love, but he agrees to help Sally. Swoon!
Harry and Sally recreate many iconic romance scenes for their TikTok account. Each scene has its own twist, so it’s not exactly like the film of its origin. These moments really reveal the characters while ranging from comedic, awkward, and romantic.
If you love romantic comedies and/or romance books, this is the story for you!

I loved this book so much, it was such a nice and easy read. It make me laugh out loud and feel all giddy how I feel when literally watching a romcom.

When Harry met Sally, 2023 edition. This was such a fun take on all things romcom and cheesy AF, with Harry not believing in love and Sally obsessed with finding it... what really could go wrong?

I adored watching Harry slowly come to the realisation, 'who actually knows what love feels like until you experience it in your own individual and unique way'... Harry was such a loveable character and he truly had such a good sense of humour.. sometimes I wanted to shake him to wake him up to see hello, how amazing romcoms actually are..... and also how Sally was the best he was going to get.

Truly recommend :)!

First off this is such a cute romcom book and any romcom movie lover will absolutey adore this book. New roommates Sally (resident romcom lover) and her new roommate Harry (romcom hater and hater of love in general) decide to recreate the iconnic lift scene from Dirty Dancing. After Sally uploads the clip onto TikTok it blows up, the pair decide to journey on and recreate other iconic romcom movie scenes....until they are no longer acting.

I really enjoyed the humor in this book and seeing how the pair put their own spin on the movie scenes.

There are so many romcom books on the market that it hard to find one that makes the time spent between the pages worth the time. Let me tell you this is one that was time well spent.
Harry and Sally were both so likeable that I cheered for good vibes to stay with them to the end. I will be telling my friends this is one they need to grab and read. It had me feeling things all over the scale and most of all I cheered them on, and I was left smiling so many times while reading this book.
Thank you NetGalley, Kathryn Freeman and One More Chapter for the ARC of Nobody Puts Romcoms In The Corner. This is my personal review.
