Vivienne Hale writes the kind of books critics love and readers forget.
Eli Kowalski writes bestselling romances that make millions cry.
Three years ago, Vivienne destroyed him in a brutal review that nearly wrecked his reputation in literary circles.
Now they've been locked in a remote cabin together with one impossible deadline:
co-write a romance novel in six weeks-or lose their publishing contracts.
Vivienne thinks Eli is everything wrong with modern fiction.
Eli thinks Vivienne is terrified of writing anything real.
They clash over every sentence.
Every chapter.
Every stolen glance across the kitchen table at 2 a.m.
But somewhere between the late-night writing sessions, brutal honesty, and the story they never meant to write, hate starts becoming something far more dangerous.
Because the worst part about falling for your enemy...
is realizing they might know your heart better than anyone else ever has.
Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Ali Hazelwood, and slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, The Way He Read Me is a witty, emotional story about ambition, vulnerability, and what happens when two writers stop hiding behind their words.
