write my wrongs by julian font — a review

Minor spoilers ahead! — please proceed with caution

I always go into books with high expectations, and this book was no different. Where Write My Wrongs stood out, however, was how it managed to make me fall in love with one of the main characters from the moment he uttered his first sentence.

Wishing to be a singer, but suffering from stage fright, Eren’s career mostly focuses on writing songs for other artists. Newly sober from drug use and trying to get back on his feet, Eren was desperate for a new songwriting job while he continues to live with his manager, and trying to overcome his stage fright.

Meanwhile, on the other side of life, was Harper, who was the heir to the largest firm on Wall Street. Despite having been writing songs since she was little, but with her entire life planned out for her, she never had the chance to truly pursue it. Successful, engaged with the man she thought was the love of her life, and having most of her life on display for the public, Harlow didn’t have much space for the things she truly wanted to do.

The two met when Harlow bumped into Eren after his show at a local bar, which he flaked out on, and through a series of events, Eren and Harlow were given the chance to write an album for an anonymous artist.

One of the highlights from this book was simply how vivid Font’s writing is, and how he’s able to bring the entire world to life. It truly feels like you are right there with the characters, standing by their side as they discover themselves and their paths in life.

The cast was such a lovable group. Each character, no matter how big their roles in the story, were vital pieces to the story. No character was wasted, and their chemistry with each other, their dynamics, and down to the little quirks really brought the story to life. Every character’s story is crafted with such love and care, and it’s something I really appreciate about this book. They feel human, with flaws and quirks and actions that make you want to scream “why?” into the void. They are relatable, maybe not necessarily because of their circumstances, but because of the emotions they feel.

I never thought I would fall so much in love with Harlow’s driver, Francis, and her family butler, Jameson, but with their sweet and lovable personalities, they ended up playing vital roles in the story, that it just wouldn’t be the same without them.

If you’re looking for a heartfelt, down-to-earth, and very human love story, I highly recommend this book. It will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, and take you places the characters go.

Write my wrongs climbed it’s way to the top of my favorites ranking all in the span of a day. This is the book that got me, and this is coming from someone who rarely has any reactions when reading a book, crying, laughing, and even yelling at some scenes. It got me emoting myself like there’s no tomorrow, and took me on one of the best rides ever. It's absolutely worth reading, and I couldn’t recommend it enough.
