Who can resist a bookish book? I love how this featured the process of how books are edited, and it made for a cute dynamic between the two main characters.

I received this novel as an advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This novel is perfect for the bookish Romance genre type. Sweet and enjoyable, Can be read in a day. Recommend all those who love romance and books.

I love a publishing setting so much. I was drawn in right from the start and couldn't stop reading. I think the relationship and characters fell a little flat for me overall, but it was enjoyable!

Melissa Ferguson is for people who enjoy sweetheart romances with very little chemistry, and I just dont think this author is for me but there is a huge audience that will love them.

A cute story with a readable plot. However, fell a little flat with the pacing and development of the characters. It was cute, but just an okay read. Certainly not horrible, but probably not one I would re-read.

Whilst this was a cute story, with a fun plot and likeable characters, it still lacked some substance. This was a slow-burn, but something was missing between both characters, maybe more time on the page, for me to truly feel their romance.

This is a fun read. The protagonists were sweet and the book was a love letter to readers. I enjoyed the snappy prose!

Any book and romance lover with absolutely find themselves lost in this book. It's an adorable meet cute that moves into a sweet, banter-filled connection, and slow-burn romance. I love that they had such a strong connection through their writing notes back and forth. It's not a steamy book what-so-ever but doesn't miss one bit of that tension and connection overall.

A good that has Savangh who is writing a book and working as an editor. She is able to get a chance at someone looking at her manuscript the problem is it is not her company and she is trying not to get found out. Where she writes as though someone else has found her spot and has started leaving her notes in the margins. Eventually they will meet. For the most part, I liked the story I am getting tired though of families not supporting their daughters since I am a father of four girls and a granddaughter it gets frustrating after a while. Overall a good read.

This was just…not for me. I’m always drawn to bookish books, or storylines that have to do with writers, small towns, and other bookish things. Ultimately I’ve come to realize these just aren’t for me and won’t be requesting them in the future.

Such a cute book! I loved the concept -- reminds me of another favorite book by JJ Abrams! Great job, Melissa!

Really great book I have had so much reading this and getting to know these lovable characters will definitely continue to read books by this author

Meet Me in the Margins was a cute contemporary romance. I wouldn't consider this Christian fiction, just a clean read.

I thought the characters were fine. I liked the plot and how the main characters "met in the margins". The romance was likeable. I didn't care for Savannah's family or the way they treated her.

All in all, Meet Me in the Margins was an enjoyable read. The audiobook was read very well and made this a quick read.

This was such a fun, whimsical, bookish romance! Loved the banter and wit between the two leads, and it was a really cozy escapist read.

3,75 stars.

To me, it’s a cute and heartwarming read, but also one that feels like it's kind of a dime in a dozen, you know?
It was a fun in between read, but it didn’t really stood out to me in a way that made it really unique and just a tad more special to me personally. This isn’t a bad thing perse, because I liked reading it so there’s that.

If you like these kind of romances, it’s definitely a fun one to pick up though!

Fun and escapist. A recommended purchase for collections where contemporary romance and lighter WF is popular.

I always love any book that is ABOUT books but this one just missed the mark for me. It was cute but cheesy, and felt overly long, considering the book's premise.

Light, quick, and cute but a bit predictable in the end. I enjoyed the setting and (somewhat) quirky, inviting characters but I felt the pacing was a tad slow for my liking and I wanted more from the romance. Overall, not a bad read but something I likely wouldn't recommend to a friend.

I liked this book at first. I even rated it 4 stars. But then I read some reviews in Goodreads and I sat with my thoughts and realized that I agree with those people.

The book had its flaws.
When I read the blurb I fell in love with it. Two people talking through the margins, giving advice, sharing opinions, moments, and experiences. Who wouldn't love it?
Even though I realized in chapter 2 or 3 who is the mystery editor. It wouldn't be romance, right?
Anyway, I didn't like the fact that other people, specifically the heroine's family, treated her. Her own sister is engaged to her ex! Her EX! They dated for 8 years but then once he had a moment with FMC's sister and then they dated for 3 months before they got engaged. And everyone, including our heroine, is okay with that! How is that okay?? This is one of the tropes that I HATE so even though I somehow managed it till the end it still made me angry that they just brushed this off. Talk about keeping it in the family.

Meet Me in the Margins was a cute book but the more it went closer to the end the more I realized that it doesn't exactly fit my style. I like a little or a lot of smut and this book only includes one kiss at the very end of the book that lacks emotions. It was like watching the paint dry.
I guess it might be a hit with people who like clean romance, for me it was just another miss.
