This was such a fun and sweet romantic comedy!

This is my first book by the author, Amy Lea, so going in I didn‘t have any expectations. After reading this, I can tell why so many people love her books. Her writing style is so engaging that it made the book go by so quickly!

I loved the premise and it was executed so well.

This was such a fun romance set in NYC!

This was my first book by Alex Aster, so going into it I had no set expectations. I was pleasantly impressed!

Immediately, I was drawn in by the author‘s writing style. It was easy, effortless, and genuinely funny.

As for the two main characters, Elle and Parker, I liked Parker way more than I liked Elle.

I think I'm going to have to reread this one to settle on my opinion! It didn't really follow the tropes of fake dating as I expected it to, and I love those tropes dearly, but I ALSO loved Pet and Matthias and their more tentative journey toward one another, so I really can't complain. #romanticcomedy #contemporaryromance

I was very excited to read this book because I love the premise. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations.

My main critique is that the book is too long. The book is roughly 370 pages, but could have been whittled down to around 300. The book is very light on events that drive the plot forward.

This was such a simple and sweet story!

I loved the premise of the story. I enjoyed learning more about Indian culture, especially their wedding customs. I also liked that the book explored being “white-washed” and how it can make people feel disconnected towards their culture.

This book explores the history of romantic comedies. Each chapter is dedicated to a different movie, with an essay in between exploring different rom-com actors.

The selection of movies and actors were a good mix. I liked that it discussed non-white rom-coms (Waiting To Exhale) and rom-coms about older women (Something‘s Gotta Give).
