"The perfect escape." —USA Today "Readers who loved Emily Henry's Book Lovers are sure to savor Nora Goes Off Script." —Shelf Awareness Named one of the Best Beach Reads of Summer 2022 by The Washington Post • USA Today • Cosmopolitan • Southern Living • Country Living • Business Insider • Buzzfeed • Book Riot • The Augusta Chronicle Nora’s life is about to get a rewrite… Nora Hamilton knows the formula for love better than anyone. As a romance channel screenwriter, it’s her job. But when her too-good-to work husband leaves her and their two kids, Nora turns her marriage’s collapse into cash and writes the best script of her life. No one is more surprised than her when it’s picked up for the big screen and set to film on location at her 100-year-old-home. When former Sexiest Man Alive, Leo Vance, is cast as her ne’er do well husband Nora’s life will never be the same. The morning after shooting wraps and the crew leaves, Nora finds Leo on her porch with a half-empty bottle of tequila and a proposition. He’ll pay a thousand dollars a day to stay for a week. The extra seven grand would give Nora breathing room, but it’s the need in his eyes that makes her say yes. Seven days: it’s the blink of an eye or an eternity depending on how you look at it. Enough time to fall in love. Enough time to break your heart. Filled with warmth, wit, and wisdom, Nora Goes Off Script is the best kind of love story—the real kind where love is complicated by work, kids, and the emotional baggage that comes with life. For Nora and Leo, this kind of love is bigger than the big screen.

This book was not for me. I expected to love it, but I just felt no chemistry between Nora and Leo. They went from acquaintances to love so fast. I was so surprised when they started throwing around love.
We didn't learn anything about Leo. He's beautiful, a great actor who doesn't think anyone should act, and doesn't know how to go grocery shopping.
He ghosted Nora after two weeks. I don't get what he brought to the table besides money and beauty.The entire conflict of the book was because Leo didn't ask any follow up questions to a text from a 10 year old. Then he weirdly (possessively) declared them married after they spent more time apart than together.
too short but also too long?
the ending was just weirdly rushed idk
Leo and Nora's relationship is sweet and the sunrise connection was unique and memorable. The kids are wonderful and her friends are great. I was shocked by the break up, but then it was explained so well. I was shocked at how quickly I forgave everyone involved! This was a great fluffy romance.
