Emma Hart–2025
Rough Around the Hedges is exactly why I keep coming back to Emma Hart — she’s hilarious every single time.
I picked this one up because I’ve read all of her books, and she never disappoints. Rose is everything I wish I could be: fearless, outspoken, and absolutely unfiltered. Oliver is the perfect balance for her — calm, reserved, but not boring. He’s basically the dream guy you’d only get after years of “training” (if you know, you know).
My favorite scene? When Rose used a giant dildo named Bertha to knock a dent out of a car… and then threw it at Oliver. If that doesn’t tell you what kind of humor you’re in for, I don’t know what will.
You know exactly how the story will end, but that’s not the point — you read Emma Hart for the laughs and the characters you can’t help but root for.
If you love chick lit and have a sense of humor (and don’t mind a little spice), Rough Around the Hedges is absolutely worth it.
