The Hating Game meets Beach Read in Katy Birchall's enemies-to-lovers romcom The Last Word, about a young journalist who puts her career (and her heart) on the line when her former work nemesis is hired in her newsroom. Harper Jenkins is at the top of her game. A brilliant, determined journalist with a well-known knack for getting tight-lipped Hollywood stars to open up to her, Harper loves her job as Celebrity Editor at a newspapers glossy weekend magazine and has the best contacts in the business. But when her awful boss hires talented reporter Ryan to be the new Features Editor, Harper is furious. Because the two have met before: a decade ago, they were interns at the same publication, where they fell into a whirlwind romance...until Ryan betrayed Harper, and they never spoke again. Thrown together in a busy newsroom, their dynamic is a disaster from the start. They cant agree on anything and bicker constantlyRyan cant bear how chaotic and messy Harper is; Harper finds Ryans condescending nature infuriating. They clash over whos writing what article, and fight over whos going to which event. Yet as theyre forced to spend more and more time together, Harper realizes she may have misjudged Ryan and cant help but feel a spark growing between them. Long buried feelings start to resurface and, when theyre thrown together on a romantic press trip abroad, their chemistry comes to a head. But all is fair in love and magazines, and with the news that layoffs across the department are imminent, Harper is left to wonder: who will get the last word?

Mehso-so

Not my favorite from Katy Birchall (5⭐ed The Secret Bridesmaid) but still cute. Just very, very, very s.l.o.w.

I wasn't always convinced in the moment about Harper's obsession with her job, but when I reflected on her character, it did ultimately make sense. And I loved the celebrity journalism angle and her and Ryan's chemistry! A good summer read. #contemporaryromance #womensfiction

A perfectly witty romance! Journalist Harper Jenkins is a totally relatable character who's about to collide with a past fiery fling (who's also a nemesis) who will turn her work life into a living Hell... But between love and hate is a very fine line indeed. Review in our bio!
