I received a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review. Firstly, I liked how the main characters names were taken from the romcom ‘When Harrry met Sally’. I found Sally’s character really endearing as she worked hard to support herself and her little sister Amy. Furthermore, I bet a lot of people can relate to Harry’s opinion on love as his parents have a really rocky relationship. I liked how the book is modern and incorporates TikTok into the plot, as this is how Sally & Harry’s romance starts to blossom.

This story made me laugh out loud... in public! Such a happy easy read for someone who enjoys a lighthearted romance book!

For lovers of Romantic Comedy films, "Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner" is the perfect book. Sally, the heroine, and her friends are also huge fans of romcoms and frequently reference them. Sally, a coffee shop owner, needs a room-mate to help pay her bills, and Harry, who is dealing with an ex-girlfriend who refuses to leave his house, needs a place to stay. When they meet, Harry thinks Sally is a little strange, but he agrees to live with her on a short-term basis.
The book is filled with humorous romantic comedy scene re-enactments, as well as a grumpy man who doesn't believe in love living with a woman who wants the whole package of love, marriage, and family. The story is entertaining and full of hilarious dialogue and heat. However, it is not all light and fluffy as there are some heavy moments.

The author develops Sally's character well, and we learn that she has had to grow up quickly after her parents passed away. Her friends are always there for her, but her sister is a bit of a spoiled brat. Sally believes in love and romantic relationships, which is why she loves romcoms so much. Harry, on the other hand, has never experienced true love and frustrates Sally and the reader in equal measures!

As the story progresses, Sally convinces Harry to re-enact more romcom scenes in hopes of earning some cash, and they become closer. However, there is tension between them because Harry told Sally he didn't believe in love, and Sally wants the whole #swept off her feet” package. When things turn for the worst, Sally walks away, and their relationship becomes more complicated.

Overall, a laugh aloud, engaging, sexy novel between two fun protagonists with combustible chemistry.

I loved this book, it was a fun, easy to read that I didn’t want to put down! A great book if you find yourself in a reading slump as it will pull you right out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

“His compliments were like nuggets in a gold prospectors pan. Rare, but oh what a thrill when they appeared.”

I have to admit, this was a very cute little romcom. I know it’s niche, but I love the “we have to do this for our followers” trope, and this did deliver on that very well. The way that the characters acted out all of the major moments from romantic comedies was super cute to read, and each time one of those scenes finished I just wanted to get to the next one.

But unfortunately I did find myself having a few problems with it. The main one being the names of the characters… Harry and Sally just felt TOO on the nose when the books main focus is a woman who is obsessed with romcoms, it just came off very cheesy to me. I also thought that the chemistry between the characters felt a bit forced, and there wasn’t really a reason for them to be “enemies” in the beginning other than the fact that he hated romcoms and she loves them…

However the cover is adorable, and I definitely see a certain demographic loving this book, it just wasn’t all for me ☹️

Read if you like:

Listen, I love romcoms 🥹 there are SO many that are just comfort watches for me now that always bring my heart flitting about in the cage of my ribs.

I. Adored. This. Book.

First of all, they are Harry and Sally and right off we are feeling a pull to the clouds. ☁️

When Harry challenges Sally over the infamous “lift” in Dirty Dancing, they end up filming a failed reenactment of the scene. Finding it hilarious Sally posts for her handful of TikTok followers to enjoy, only it goes viral and the people … they want more!

Recognizing a potential financial benefit that will help them both out - it’s let the scenes begin!! We’re taken on their journey, behind the scenes of filming reenactments of epic and iconic moments in romcom history, and watching Harry and Sally become the star of their own romcom story.

We can connect with Sally and swoon with her at the scenes in our beloved films. We settle into the heart warming feelings. Harry is a cynic with feet and head planted solely on the ground, no clouds for him. The thing is, it is as easy to see Harry’s perspective as it is to see Sally’s. The realization that painful moments exist too and hearts can ache as much as they love.

It’s navigating both sides together that creates a balance, a place where love can be seen … to each other but also to themselves. 👀

Had me feeling nostalgic, full of funny moments as well as romantic ones and a read that will keep you in your feels. I think I had a smile for 93% of reading this. I read it in one sitting. Will be purchasing a copy to go on my shelf!

this was such a fun, cute and easy read. the characters are full of personality and i really liked reading about them and seeing all the references to movies we all love. this book really is for the romcom lovers.

This book was such a fun read… especially if you like rom coke. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quick weekend or summer read.

Sally loves her romcoms and is looking for her own happy ending but then she meets Harry. He looks perfect but he doesnt believe in love. how could it ever work? They grow close re-enacting famous scenes from her favourite movies and she begins to wonder if she can show him what love is

Aww I do love a romcom myself so knew this was going to be a fun read. it did not disappoint. I loved all the movie references and how many I recognised. The story is well written and a great read. Its a very modern romance touching on the danger of social media and angry exes. The ending was so perfect and finished it off with style. A brilliant read for any romantic movie lover.

This one was a love story of love stories. It was sweet and funny and super cute. Fast Enjoyable read.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner.

I'm not a huge romance fan but the description of this book intrigued me- two roommates go viral after recreating (badly) a scene from Dirty Dancing and continue to recreate other scenes from popular movies. Seemingly a love letter to 90s romcoms (totally my jam,) I was immediately interested in reading this novel. Did I mention the main characters are named Sally (the eternal optimist) and Harry (the classic cynic)?

I really enjoyed this story BUT I absolutely hated the writing when I first started it. It's just . . . not great. I hate to say that about any novel but it is very choppy and just . . . bad. Once I got over that I decided to just enjoy it. It was silly and predictable (soooo much) but I liked both of the main characters (there are several secondary characters that are complete TRASH and totally rage worthy) even through the cringeworthy moments.

Quick, silly read that will make you remember all the 90s movies you absolutely devoured once upon a time. I probably won't be rushing to read any of the other books by this author anytime soon but it was a fun way to spend a lazy Sunday.

This is book 7 in Kathryn Freeman's Romcom Collection series. Now I personally have read every book in this collection. What can I say they are amazing and I love Romcoms. However each book in this collection can be read as a standalone! Though this reader highly recommends you read them all.
This edition to the collection is all about Sally and Harry who are complete opposites. Sally is a bona fide romcom lover who is waiting to hear the 'bells ring'. Whereas Harry is not a romance lover and doesn't really believe in love. Understandable given his backstory but we digress.
There story is told over the course of 35 Chapters as well as a Prologue. Now I have to admit you will find yourself so invested in this story that you may discover when you pay attention to chapter names that you have read multiple. For example when I first started this book I was only going to read the prologue and possibly chapter one, instead I read all the way to chapter three. I was that engrossed in the story that I couldn't put it down.
One of the best things about this book is that it is truly a Romcom at it's finest. I could see this being a movie. From the moment these characters meet not only do they have some undeniable chemistry but they also have moments that will leave the reader laughing. Now I don't mean a small giggle, I mean laughing out loud and then re reading the section just to make sure you have read it right!
Overall, if you couldn't already tell I fell head over heels in love with this book. I would love to see it made into a movie! The only downside I see is that the TikTok account mentioned in the book does not exist. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

This was a cute rom com concept! I like how they recreated iconic rom com scenes for tik tok. All of the rom com references were perfect! I did feel like the story dragged quite a bit! It took me a long time to read it, because I didn’t feel super invested in the storyline.

what to expect:
- all the rom coms
- roommates to lovers
- anti-love vs hopeless romantic

Perhaps it was the language used in the novel, but it felt meant for a UK audience. There were turns of phrase that probably do sound natural to someone from Britain, but I just found the vernacular so jarring that I couldn't get into it.

I loved this little romance tale. I loved that it took at the real world classic romance movies and tied them into the plot. I think it was a really clever way to make the book relatable.

I find it so funny when new books mention apps like tik tok and social media that is commonly used in todays younger generation. Again, I think this is a great example of the book’s relatability with Millennials and Gen z.

I’ve never read anything from Kathryn Freeman before but I really liked the writing style and humour.

This was really sweet. I loved the nod to classic romcoms, and found myself giggling as the characters interacted and got to know each other.

I received an advance copy. All thoughts are my own.

Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner by Kathryn Freeman

This one was such a fun ride. I spent hours reading yesterday to finish it, and I can’t remember the last time I sat and read for that long in one sitting. This one is just pure, joyous entertainment. It’s not a book that’s trying to make you think—it’s just a cute little story with some characters that I personally really adored.

Cheated on by his partner, Harry finds himself lodging in Sally’s spare room that was abandoned by her sister. He’s a blunt, cynical builder, and she’s obsessed with romcoms and partial to the color pink. Her parents were happily married until their passing. His are getting divorced, unpleasantly, and using him as their go-between. We can all see where this is going. Eventually, Sally convinces Harry to recreate the infamous lift from Dirty Dancing and posts the result on TikTok, leading to their new series of recreating iconic romcom scenes together.

This book felt very self-indulgent in the best way. While the characters can come across a bit contrived at times, I found myself loving the both of them—their vulnerabilities and their dynamic. The build up sort of drags on, and I found myself annoyed at times. But I don’t think this is a criticism! If you’ve ever watched two people catch feels and be in denial about that, it’s the same kind of annoying. You just want to shake some sense into them. I wasn’t a fan of the primary conflict near the end, but I was so invested by that point. This book brought me so much joy, and I’m sure I’ll still be thinking of Sally and Harry for some time.

Highly, highly recommend for romcom fans!

Thanks to @harpercollinsuk and @netgalley for the copy in exchange for my honest review. On shelves now!

📖: (4/5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You had me at hello, and this book had me at the cover!

It's a love letter to rom-coms, full of references to all your favorite movies, bringing back the butterfly filled memories of watching them for the first time.

Rating wise, there are a few open-door scenes with moderate details, but other than that, this is a light-hearted, quick romp through romancelandia.

Harry and Sally are housemates. They are opposites—she's a hopeless romantic, and he's well... not! But one night, he gives in to reenacting a famous movie scene, and it goes viral. So... they keep going.
I REALLY loved Harry. Even though he can be such a grump, I found him charming. Sally is the stereotypical 'airy-fairy kind of 'romantic' which is cute, but unfortunately, she never grows to be anything more. Even after the whole "we knew it was coming" breakup and the following epiphany, she's still doesn't actually learn anything important enough to make a change. Which is a shame.

BUT that's not going to put me off recommending this book to anyone looking for a feel good, laugh out loud, swoony romance.

4 Stars.
Thanks to Netgalley, Harper Collins UK and One More Chapter for the ARC

I LOVE When Harry Met Sally so obviously the main characters names being Harry and Sally in a book about romcoms was already a plus for me.

The story was well balanced, fun, and believable.

Its not a new favorite but I will definitely recommend to people looking for a more under appreciated style of romcom.

First off, what better RomCom than having your MC's named Harry and Sally? C'mon!! Also, dirty dancing is my absolute favorite movie ever so this title lured me in from the start. I loved the insta love and all that this book gave! Got me in my feels and loved the idea reenacting famous romcom parts of movies!!
