Thank you for the opportunity to read this title. Unfortunately, it is not for me. Since I didn't finish it, I will not post a review on Goodreads. Thanks again and best of luck!

A new York fairy tale come true. What a lovely heart warming books. Such a cozy loving reading. Was A funny story laugh out load

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

Definitely a cute and fun read!

I enjoyed the rapport between all the characters!

I thought the plot was well done and it kept me interested.

I received an advanced digital copy of this book from the author, publisher and NetGalley.com. Thanks to all for the opportunity to read and review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Ms. Pinotti's new book is quirky, to be sure, but fails in the end to win the reader over. Details are fantastic to the point that they suspend disbelief. The lead character is so self absorbed and neurotic that this was almost a "Did Not Finish".

1 out of 5 stars. Do not recommend.

This book was given to me by Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I requested for this book last year but couldn't read it .


I was quite fascinated by its cover..

This book just didn’t do it for me. The main character was a hypochondriac and it just got old.
Thank you Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book is the story of a hypchonadriac. There are some funny moments... but some pretty... sad moments in my opinion too. I feel like the book missed some key points/ideas here..

Okay...fair warning here...this review is going to get a little ranty.

The premise for this book sounded good, potentially humorous even. The cover is super cute. I was excited to get started on it. And then I saw the addendum to the title. Really? "A delightful laugh-out-loud romantic comedy" as part of the TITLE? No. That's not okay. As a blurb? Sure. But don't put it in your title. It sounds way too cocky and pretentious. But...I soldiered on and started the book anyway.

First impression? The main character is annoying. She gave ME anxiety with her anxiety. It was all immersive and way too much. Is it accurate for a hypochondriac? Probably. So, points for accuracy. But it still was just hit-you-in-the-face assaulting. I took a few deep breaths and kept reading, despite the heart palpitations it induced.

I settled into the writing a bit more as the story went on and I will admit that Pinotti does have a good style. She is creative and the narrative does move fairly well MOST of the time. There are occasions where the plot just abruptly changes direction and there are times when pieces of the plot dissolve into oblivion. That could use a little work. But when things go in the right direction, the writing is good.

I got this book as an ARC and generally expect that there will be some errors in typography or phrasing (let's be frank, there are doubtless some irritating errors in this very review), but this was way excessive. Sometimes the writing was so jumbled that I had trouble sifting through it. That irritated me. As a reader, I need to know that the author has taken some care with the writing. And some of these errors should have been caught on an initial editing, with ease. When it feels like the author doesn't care about that kind of detail, it makes me care less about the work. A little basic effort goes a long way. I can overlook some punctuation errors here and there or maybe a misspelling and rough transition or two, but this was...to be blunt...an editing disaster. And as much as I should generally ignore these things with ARCs, I just couldn't; because I don't know how much of that is going to get caught prior to publishing.

The storyline at its core was good and I have to assume that there will be/have been some major editing corrections prior to final publication, so I let my rating have a little bit of a bump up. Maybe this is too generous, I don't know.

After fighting the urge on several occasions to DNF and constantly looking at how many pages remained, I did manage to finish the entire book. Was it worth it? Meh. It was okay. There wasn't anything beyond a regular trope and nothing terribly unexpected or marvelous happened. It was pretty predictable. But, with maybe toning down the character in the first third of the book and some careful revision, this could be a decent book that would rate a 3 or 3 1/2 for me. As is, I initially wanted to give it a 1.5. However, I gave that extra credit for the assumed power of the editor and ultimately landed on a 2.

* End Rant *

I was awarded this book on netgalley. This was one of the funniest books I have read in a long time. It took me a little bit to get into the book put once I started chapter 3 I couldn't put it down.

🤒 Can hypochondria have a humorous side? 🤔
3-3.5🌟stars
I will admit, the author's dry, tongue-in-cheek humor in this book was fun. But I did find the story a bit of a slog. I had to keep taking breaks away from Amanda's rambles about yet another suspected dire illness, no matter how amusing her conviction that she's a frail flower on the brink of collapse. I also found malapropisms that made for some confusion as to what the author really wanted to convey.

This read was out of the ordinary and heroine Amanda is off the charts eccentric. With more romance and action from the story's start, I think this could have been a better flowing and more enjoyable read.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.

This is a cute romantic comedy that is well written with a very serious subject matter: hypochondria.

The subject matter is written in a informative/learning way so that if the reader wasn't familiar they might learn while reading.

The story is quite funny and well written.

Thank you Girls Can Books & NetGalley for the ARC of the book!!!

I love the idea of this book, a woman trying to live a normal life while dealing with a mental illness like hyperchondria. There were some great parts, and the writing was fun and lighthearted while also exploring the challenges Amanda faces. But it was a struggle to keep going at times. As much as I wanted to enjoy this, I found Amanda frustrating and the idea of love being the cure to mental health problems just glosses over the real causes of her struggles.

Never judge a book by its cover. The cover was cute, the book was bad. Whoever thought a romcom about hypochondrisis without proper knowledge and sensitivity was a good idea... I cannot stress enough that love is not a cure all for mental illness. The relationships were flat and the main character not compelling enough to carry a novel.
This book wasn't for me, but maybe some will like it .

This book had great potential. I loved the premise. It just fell flat for me. The characters just didn’t hold my interest. Thanks NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you @netgalley for the ARC. I wanted to like this book, but man, it was just not for me. The story line/concept was great, but the writing didn't flow and the main character's thoughts were so scattered and jumbled up. I know she was a hypochondriac but to me, this didn't read like a story as much as reading what was going on in her head. Sadly, not for me.

This was a chore for me to read.
The storyline for me didn’t flow. It felt like it jumped around and it was assembled in a strange order.
It felt like the author had written this very fast and that they didn’t believe in thestory

Such a heartwarming read. I have to thank netgalley and the publishers for this wonderful book!
This story is about a newyork lawyer Amanda and the fact that she has a medical condition which makes her feel apart from other ordinary women of her age. Then when she meet Brian things started to change for her. I loved the connection she had with her family. Mainly her mother. This is a unique love story. I have to say that I haven't read anything quiet like it. It was a fun read for me. Hope you'll enjoy it too.

** Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with the digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review **
La historia es de fácil lectura, totalmente una comedia romántica. La historia fluye, y los detalles hacen que sea fácil ver en nuestra mente las imágenes.
Si bien considero que es un buen enfoque el de la comedia, y no considero que esto sea irrespetuoso con las personas que sufren de hipocondría, es cierto que el enfoque puede parecer irrespetuoso, debería ser tenido en cuenta este detalle antes de comenzar la lectura de este libro.

Thanks to the publisher and #netgalley for the eARC.

This novel follows Amanda, who is a hypochondriac lawyer, as she maneuvers her way around New York and doctor offices/hospital to cure and confirm her own diagnoses and find love.

This was a fun and quick read. If you love rom coms and all the cheesiness that comes with it- this is your book! The only thing I did not like was that about 80% of the book is focused on Amanda and her hypochondriac diagnoses. We don't get too much of her and Brian until then.
