Loading... Just Stab Me Now (2024)by Jill Bearup
   Books Read in 2024 (741) No current Talk conversations about this book.  Kellswitch | Apr 26, 2024 |   What started as a few YouTube shorts by Jill Bearup playing on a number of literary and cinematic tropes became the Fantasy Heroine story – 4 series of 10 episodes each (all 40 shorts, + extras in a single video: https://youtu.be/eEE_pqix1dQ?si=BI_bl2u6uXd5hp8S). Such was the popularity that the fans demanded a book – and “Just Stab Me Now” is the result. Unsurprisingly, some changes from the videos - but keep in mind this wasn't intended to be a complete novel-length story. But the tale loses nothing in being put down on paper. I recommend watching the video (link in original post) before reading the book, but it is not at all necessary. (  ) Psalomschyk | Feb 12, 2024 | no reviews | add a review

HTML: A desperate mother. A dubious escort. And a deranged author who won't leave them alone. Caroline Lindley is determined that her new romance novel will be her best one yet. Fantasy! Formal gowns! Fencing! And, of course, a twentysomething heroine to star in an enemies-to-lovers plot with all of Caroline's favourite tropes. But Lady Rosamund Hawkhurst is a thirty-six-year-old widow. She has a war to stop and two children to get home to and flatly refuses to take the correct approach to there being Only One Bed. What's an author to do? Especially when discussions with her editor might reveal that he and Rosamund's Hot Enemy have some suspicious similarities . . . Based on her popular Fantasy Heroine YouTube Shorts series, Jill Bearup's debut novel brings us the best of worlds both meta and medieval-inspired as enemies-to-BFFs Rosamund and Caroline learn what it means to be the hero of your own story. Swords optional. .No library descriptions found. |

In the first few chapters you could tell this was the authors first book, but she quickly found her footing.
The pacing was great, the characters were engaging and a joy to get to know, and I loved the world building, even the silly parts. The conceit of the author interacting with her characters was fun. This book was fun, just so much fun.
I didn't find it to be a can't put down page turner, it was very much a book I could put down and pick up when I was able to read it again without getting lost or having to back track, and to me this is a strength. Life doesn't always let you sit down and read as much or as long as you would like and to have such a joyful book to pick up and escape into when I could was such a gift.
I am so hoping Jill Bearup continues to write because I really want to see where she goes from here. (
