Story of My Life (Standard Edition) (Story Lake, 1)

Brand new small town romance from #1 New York Times bestseller Lucy Score.

A Gilmore Girls meets Schitt's Creek redemption romcom.

Hazel Hart was a successful romance novelist until a breakup drives her straight into writer's block. Having failed (and failed some more) to deliver her new manuscript, she's hiding from the world behind a wall of old takeout containers until her publisher lays down the law. If she misses her next deadline it's The End.

Desperate for inspiration, Hazel impulse-buys a historic home online and flees Manhattan to tiny Story Lake, PA. Upon her dramatic arrival--involving an incident with a bald eagle--she discovers the charm of her new home may have been slightly exaggerated.

The house is a wreck and the town is struggling after their biggest employer shut down. Also, since her raccoon-infested home came with a seat on the town council our introverted heroine is stuck with a front row seat to all the small-town shenanigans.

But Hazel isn't worried. Not since all six-feet-three inches of grouchy contractor Campbell Bishop slapped a bandage on her forehead and unintentionally inspired the heck out of her. There's only one thing to do: Hire Cam and his equally gorgeous brothers to renovate her new spider museum...er...house.

Okay two things. A fake date for "research purposes" will really put her work-in-progress on track. Before Hazel knows it, she's writing a romance novel and living one. At least until the drywall dust settles, the town she's falling in love with faces bankruptcy, and growly Cam remembers why he can't live happily ever after.

Author's Note: "This series is my love letter to every reader who said they wanted to move to a fictional town."

This was my first & last Lucy Score book. The only reason I didn't make this a DNF was because I wanted to fairly write a review. it took all I had to finish it. The whole plot sounded like it was out of some childish corny show like paw patrol with its unrealistic villains and the main characters acted like toxic high schoolers. After reading Lucy's bio on her website & about her other books it's clear she has a writing style & a pattern for her toxic immature main characters that I'm not interested in. The positive after reading this was I felt like I could write a book if this author can. lol

Sweet, heart-felt story. Very small town husky grumpy man vibes that made me swoon.
