About this listen

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn’t wait to get back to it each time I put it down. The characters are beautifully drawn, and the family life felt authentic. I couldn’t predict the ending until about a third from the end which was great, and the whole story made me happy.

Gorgeous story

I found it refreshing to read/listen to a story where the lead character had a full life, was older than her 20’s and wrestled with real life issues and wasn’t portrayed as pathetic and needing a man to complete her. Thank you!

Really enjoyed

I struggle with how pathetic and cringe Nora was at stages in the book. She is a single mum, hitting goals with her career but with a teenage type of obsession. Nice ending

Easy listen

This is mostly a fun romcom with the usual formula (I'm sure I'm not spoiling it for anyone) of meet - fall in love - misunderstanding - get back together, but the second last step, while it has a twist in its resolution, goes on too long. Cut out a couple of those melancholy chapters and it would be four stars from me.

Quirky with with a twist

A story with fully developed characters and not your typical Rom Com storyline. Highly recommend

A rom com with real depth - loved it

I returned this book, as I couldn't cope with the way it was narrated. the story was totally boring.

Boring.

It’s a cruel book to read … it’s about an author who makes really boring love stories .. while we read about her really boring love story and her obsession with her ex .

I thought it must of been written in the 90s with Nora’s very old school ideals . But no… it’s just a tone deaf book 😅 where no one’s likeable .

Very dull
