The cover really drew me in and I am so glad it did because I really enjoyed it. This was a quick and easy read and I'll definitely be reading more from Freeman in the future.

I found this book to be an easy read. It was funny, simple, and really cute. I enjoyed it a lot, a solid Rom-Com. I wish I would have known that it was part of a series, but it read fine as a stand-alone book. Maybe NetGalley could add that to their descriptions in the future.

This was cute, funny, and simple. I enjoyed but it wasn't groundbreaking. I found out after it is actually part of a series- while it seemed fine as stand-alone, I wish netgalley would add that information when requesting!

Fun, feel-good and absolutely fabulous, Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner is the hilarious new novel from award-winning author Kathryn Freeman.

Sally and Harry are polar opposites. While Sally is a classic romantic who wears her heart on her sleeve, Harry is jaded and cynical. Sally thinks that there’s someone out there for everyone – and Harry thinks that she has watched far too many romantic comedies. As the two of them are like chalk and cheese, romance is the very last thing on both of their minds – until the new flatmates have one drink too many and decide to recreate the famous lift from Dirty Dancing. It was only meant to be a laugh, however, when their video goes viral and the two of them become social media sensations, they begin to wonder whether they should satisfy their vast social media following by recreating some of the most famous moments from classic romantic comedies. With their profiles soaring and their bank balances bulging, Sally and Harry think that they are going to be laughing all the way to the bank – until they realise that pretending to be a couple is not as much fun as being in love for real…

Like all the best romantic comedies, the path to happy ever after is fraught with challenges, obstacles and doubts. But will Sally and Harry find the courage to put their hearts on the line and admit how they really feel about one another? Is a future for the two of them possible? Or will they end up missing out on a love that could last a lifetime because they are too scared to take a leap of faith and a chance on happy ever after?

Kathryn Freeman’s romantic comedies never fail to hit the spot and she has once again hit it out of the park with her latest charmer. Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner. Side-splittingly funny, intensely emotional and highly entertaining, Sally and Harry’s love story is one that cannot fail to satisfy romantics everywhere.

Readers can always rely on Kathryn Freeman to deliver a stellar page-tunrner and she has done it again with her latest novel, Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner.

Big fan of Kathryn Freeman and this book did not disappoint! Really like how she took what could be a cliched roommates friends to lovers story and gave it a really good twist. Certainly was not expecting the progression in Sally and Harry’s relationship but I was rooting for it from the beginning. Thanks for the opportunity to read NetGalley!

Rom coms I love them they make you feel so good and this was no exception!!! When harry and sally are watching a movie and decided to post a dance on tic toc they go viral and keep it up because the money is good. However along the way their feelings start to get all mixed up.

Blurb:
Sally is a classic romantic and Harry is a classic cynic, but when a drunken bet leads the new flatmates to (badly) recreate ‘the lift’ from Dirty Dancing, and the video goes viral (#EpicRomcomReenactmentFailure), they both realise there’s potential financial benefit in blundering their way through the romcom lexicon for their suddenly vast social media following.

Now, as Harry and Sally bring major romcom moments to new life – including recreating that classic diner scene – their faking it turns to making…out and suddenly they’re living a real life romcom of their own! But like all the greatest love stories, the road to happily ever after is paved with unexpected challenges for this hero and heroine…

My thoughts:
I love that Sally is such a hopeless romantic! She believes in all things romance! After seeing how much her parents loved each other it made her want a relationship like that. But here Harry walks in and is the complete opposite who doesn't really believe in romance having no positive role models in his life. The contrast between characters instantly had me hooked! Great read!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review!

Cute. I liked the characters except the female best friend was really stupid and didn't make much sense. I liked that the main characters had a little meat to their story as it could have easily devolved into a really predictable and boring story. Although there was some tension and we knew everything would work out in the end, it wasn't completely cookie-cutter and I enjoyed that. I really liked the cover of this one which is what made me pick it up and I wasn't disappointed. This was a solid read in the rom-com genre!

I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

As someone who loves a great romantic comedy movie, the title and the cover immedietly drew me to take a chance on the book.
It has all things that make it a great read: forced proximity situation, two opposite person falling for each other ( the grumpy-sunshine trope is an all time favourite of mine!).
The main characters' names are even Harry and Sally! She is a total romantic, he's a sceptic, they eventually fall in love. Of course, as this one was a romance novel.
I found the heroine a bit irritating at times, she was soooo set in her ways, I found her stubbornnes in certain situations offputting.
Otherwise, it was a quick and light read!

This was super cute. It had a lot of funny moments and I loved the scene setting. I do think it got a bit slow towards the middle and repetitive but I still really enjoyed it. Thankyou so much for the ARC!

This book was so incredibly fun to read! While I thought it was a little dragged on and I wanted a little bit more with their relationship- the overall story was so cute! Harry and Sally are complete opposites when it comes to love- Sally is a romantic and is looking for her soulmate- while Harry is a cynic who does not believe in all that nonsense. So when they become roommates and decide to reinact the famous scenes from the romcoms we all know and love and post them on social media- the relationship really takes off! If you love classic rom coms and the funny banter of these opposites, this is totally a book for you!

Loved the concept of recreating romcom scenes and a slow burn romance. But the behaviors of some of the characters was outrageous and the decision making abilities in the last part of the book nearly ruined it for me.

Kathryn Freeman writes some of the best feel good stories out there, and NPRITC is no different. Very enjoyable, and laugh out loud funny at times! Extremely creative storyline!
5-star read!

A funny romcom related meet cute book. Love it for a beachy, spring break, or summer read. Thanks for the ARC netgalley.

i’m sooo late on reviewing this but thank you netgalley and co for this beautiful book. adored this book it was so much fun the references were fun it felt like i was seeing it on screen.

Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner by Kathryn Freeman has a really cute premise, but for me, the development never lived up to that potential. I love romcom movies as much as many people, and know all the movies referred to in the novel, but I could never get past the how the characters couldn't see how re-enacting key scenes from those movies to upload to tiktok wouldn't end up badly. Call me cynical. Ending with a nasty misunderstanding is standard plot development at the 80% point of romance novels, so I know that's a given, but this plot device felt forced.

Did I finish it? Yes. It came at just the right moment when I needed distraction from some heavy books, and it did just that. A romance novel is always a comfort spot after books that make my brain way too active.

This was super cute and my first @netgalley read of 2024. It’s a bit of a grumpy meets sunshine trope when Harry moves in to Sally’s spare bedroom. They end up reenacting and posting the famous lift from Dirty Dancing and going viral. Sally then convinces Harry to continue to act out famous scenes from various romcoms to gain followers and hopefully sponsorship and money.
.
That’s about it. Very predictable, but very sweet. A few frustrating moments (as I find with most romcoms), and a couple of spicy scenes - all in all a fun holiday read that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

A story taking on all the best romcoms, led by main characters Harry & Sally (yep, even the names were selective!) The two new flatmates do the Dirty Dancing lift on a bet…and as their social media following grows, they take on more famous romcoms, from the Notebook kiss to Pretty Woman shopping. While things start out fake, it’s not long before Harry and Sally find themselves in a romcom of their own.
This has a cute premise, but this was a bit too smutty for my taste.
Thank you to Harper Collins UK for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

In the age of TikTok and viral videos, this book capitalizes on the phenomenon of "shipping" 2 people, whether they are together or not. In this case, not. This era of the internet is so interesting, which helped this generally unrealistic premise turn into an endearing romance between two people who are thrown together out of convenience. Do I think this relationship goes the distance past the final page of the book? Probably not, but I'm literally always down to read Kathryn's Freeman's work.

Such a cute book! An enjoyable must-read for fans of romcom. This book was a quick, funny, pitch perfect book for anyone looking for a feel good book with a happy ending.
