Why these tropes fit

Twenty-five-year-old Katie Caruso, a romance ghostwriter for reclusive bestselling novelist Meredith Bradford, is unexpectedly reunited with Tyler McNally—her late older brother's best friend—after years of silence following the brother's overdose death. Tyler, now a sober, Ivy League-educated aspiring literary novelist, becomes Katie's writing partner for the summer at Meredith's isolated Southampton estate. As they collaborate on a love story, the genre tropes they craft on the page begin manifesting in their own lives, giving them a chance to work through the grief that tore them apart and fight for a happy ending.
