Welcome to Litsy!

When you run into your Ex at your Best Friend‘s wedding; it‘s a guaranteed fun read for fans of Enemies-to-Lovers.

This one just didn't sit right. The main character is an established romance writer with writer's block who begins finding her story through the hate/lust she feels when she reconnects with her ex. I was already on the fence about the romance but then she had a conversation with her friend about the steps to a romance novel that were so cliche and simplified that I decided to stop reading. I didn't find her believable as a writer at that point

Rather entertaining second chance romance, but it felt unevolved, the chemistry between the characters seemed unconvincing, but not a bad book :)

Here are my July #Roll100 picks. Looks like a scattering of romcoms in my future ☺️

This was alright. I liked the banter… an early scene in a bar involving a “glass eye” had me in tears laughing…. But there‘s a lot in here about grieving, guilt, and forgiveness. Almost 4 star read, but not quite. #bookspinbingo #bookspin

An author has to deal with writers block and an ex from ten years ago. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

What book are you reading today? I'm currently reading “Talk Bookish to Me“ by Kate Bromley.

This second chance #romance did not work for me.

To name just two things that rubbed me the wrong way: There's the book within a book trope that I don't like. There's cheating.

Tried signing up for bookish first.
Unfortunately this program is US only. So unless you have a friend in the states willing to assist it is unavailable.

The beginning was great with massive emotions and snappy dialogue. The ending was sweet. But there is a definite “no go” action which brought the whole tale down a notch.

This is a funny and cute story....in most part. Kara is a funny character. She writes historical romance novels where her characters seem to resolve their love stories. But what about her love life?🤔😳😬Her last 2 love relations ended in bad terms where the trust in the relationship were broken. In her friend ore wedding party, she will see again one of her boyfriends. Will they talk about what happened? Are they going to be together again? ⬇️

Book #8 finished, very cute, not as predictable as usual rom-com's are. Really enjoyed!

Finished this ebook today. This was an adorable second chance romance of a couple who haven't seen each other in ten years but find each other again at a pre-wedding party and yep, they're both in the wedding party. And, they both pretend to hate the other but really, may still love each other. I really enjoyed this one.
Book #4 for the #FabulousFebruary Readathon.

Honestly couldn‘t put this one down. Such a cute read from start to finish. Cheesy? Kind of. Addicting? Definitely. Read it in one day. Honestly also all of my goals in a book

I definitely enjoyed this enemies to lovers trope read. My only dislike was how obsessed with each other Kara and Ryan were and how parts of their relationship did not seem genuine at all. I was disappointed with the plot line about halfway through and the ending felt a little lackluster to me, but overall a fun quick beach read with plenty of funny banter.

This is book 3 of 4 in the inaugural Men Read Romance box. And I loved it! I couldn‘t put it down. I absolutely devoured it this evening. Witty dialogue, great characters, just enough tension to make it oh so real. Bonus, the MC is a romance novelist.

That‘s 3 for 3 picks in this subscription box. Now onto book 4.

Kara & Ryan
College Sweethearts
Torn apart by distance and misunderstanding
Reunited 10 years later

Boring AF, vanilla, and blah. Even though I didn‘t care for the characters and had no attachment to them I feel like the author did them both dirty. If you read for the characters skip this one as they are not worth the time.

Hmmm. While it is a classic enemies to lovers trope, I think I would have liked it even more if Kara would have been left as a powerhouse not tied to any men.

Loved this so much!!!

Interesting characters, but none of Kara and Ryan's relationship development hit the right beats for me. Everything needed a little more depth. #romcom #contemporaryromance

On #netgalley to request. Looks like a good read.
