An intriguing start to what feels like a great book. Meet Cute starts with a - surprise, surprise - cute meet cute. I'll definitely check out the entire story.

Kailyn Flowers had a massive teenage crush on the cute teen actor Daxton Hughes, and when she (literally) runs into him in law school, she fangirls all over again. But then they form somewhat of a friendship in their law classes, until Dax betrays her. Now, 5 years later, he needs her help navigating his new and shocking guardianship of his teenage sister. While weary of being hurt again, Kailyn finds it in her to help him and rebuild a friendship.

This excerpt was really fun and cute. I enjoy romances with substance, and this one seems like it will deliver on some multi-dimensional characters, witty humor, and raw emotion. At the beginning, Kailyn seems a little weak or silly, but she definitely might be a powerhouse to stand her ground against Daxton. I'm excited to read the whole book and see how their friendship (and more?) comes back to life.

This was an excerpt for Meet Cute by Helena Hunting. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the advance copy excerpt in exchange for an honest review.

All I can say is Wow. I am so heart broken that I haven't picked up the book yet. This is too dang perfect. Story is great. Writing is wonderful and story line is absolute perfection. I love the few interactions we see between Daxton and Kailyn. I like the secondary character teases. I feel the sadness as if it is my own.

This was a 38 page preview which I think was enough to get a good idea of the story. It opens with the traditional romcom meet cute between the typical slightly quirky clumsy heroine and the sweet but slightly jerkish hero. Based on the preview I have a pretty good idea where the main story and subplots are going to go but I think it will be a pleasant nearly indulgent read.

Although this was only a brief clip of the complete book, Meet Cute immediately drew me in! I could tell that the enemy-to-lovers trope in this contemporary romance was going to be strong, and a good enemy-to-lovers story is a good palate cleanser for me. Now I want to read the entire book!!!!

Review- I really enjoyed how quickly the story started! Literally falling into someone’s arms once is awkward but twice in the same day- that’s adorable! I need to find the rest of this book to know how it turns out!!!! But it was great From the preview.

So far so good! I'm so sad this is only a preview but it was enough to make me want to hunt down the book and read it! Two stars since I haven't read it all yet!

I love everything HH writes and this book was amazingly beautiful with a perfect balance of angst, laugh out loud moments and romance overall.
I’ll post my review everywhere where applicable and on my blog pages.
Thanks for the opportunity to read and review it.

I enjoyed the excerpt of this book that I read. I was really entertained by how much of a mess Kailyn is, it created a nice light character, which was then easily added more depth to by the drama that happens at the end of the excerpt. Although this seemed a bit sudden, it drew me in, and kept me intrigued towards the end of this section.
These first 38 pages really intrigued me and I'd probably read the rest of the book to find out what happened.

A great “meet cute” is one of my favorite parts of a romance novel. If you’re not familiar with the term, a “meet cute” is the sweet or humorous way in which two main characters first meet. This book has a fun yet awkward meet cute, as well as a really charming story.

Kailyn is smart and singularly focused on making partner at her law firm. I love how professional and level-headed she normally is, but she also has this dorky fangirl side. Former child TV star Dax is Kailyn’s old crush/rival.

Dax won me over with his kind heart and selflessness. The way in which Dax struggles to balance being both a loving brother and a responsible guardian to his emotional teenage sister is touching. I found Kailyn’s support of Dax and her growing relationship with Emme to be incredibly endearing. Kailyn’s romance with Dax is quite tender as well.

Although I really enjoyed the chemistry between the characters as well as the overall plot, the book is not without flaws. Some elements of the story just don’t ring true. Kailyn’s grudge against Dax is overemphasized and rather childish. Dax also has an incredibly annoying friend who pops up occasionally and shows zero character growth. I seriously have no idea why Dax is friends with him.

Ultimately, it is the emotional side of this romantic comedy that won me over. If you’re looking for an easy read with some feels, check out Meet Cute.

I am not interested in reading the whole book after the preview.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

I loved this book. This is exactly the kind of fun romance that I love to read. The dialogue is quick and snappy. There is an adorable meet-cute and I love the angst between Kailyn and Daxton. I liked that the story developed Daxton into a character who is embarrassed by his past child star status and that Kailyn is obsessed with it. I immediately downloaded the book to read the rest!

Oh my goodness, Meet Cute is cuteness overload! I LOVED it! What a tease this sneak preview was. I am definitely going to be getting my hands on this book this week as I have to know how this pans out.

I loved the banter between Kailyn and Dax. I can tell even with just the preview that the author's witty writing style is going to have me captivated the entire book. As if that wasn't enough, that cover is adorable. The only problem with previews are that now I am bummed I don't have the book right here with me to finish. I have a distinct feeling I am going to love this one!

This book is a fun easy read that will leave you swooning over Dax and Kailyn 'meet cute'.

Throughout the whole book I think my favorite part was the fact that Kailyn was still a fangirl of Dax. No matter what was in their past she still crushed on him hard. The dynamic between the two characters is interesting and well thought out. While there seems to be some issues with moral dilemmas.... like Kaylin being a guardian of Dax's sister while trying to have a relationship, I don't think that it detracts from the story.

If you are looking for a quick read that has all the good qualities of a romcom, this is it.

Very cute characters, but I really couldn't get into the story given that this was just a part of the book.

Meet Cute's extended preview had me hooked from the first few pages. Kailyn is bright, funny and sweet. I liked her immediately and actually laughed at the title of her first chapter "Fangirl Down". I was also immediately interested in Daxton and enjoyed their chemistry and banter.

I will be picking up a finished copy of this book because I HAVE to read more.

Great start to the story and definitely whetted my appetite to want to continue on and read the story as a whole.
