Good book but I just could not fully get into the story. It just didn’t hit all the right notes for me. It just wasn't my cup of tea.

My first read by Rebecca Egan author. I thought that this was a solid effort and although I was able to put it down, when I picked it back up I got right back into the story. I would
Give it a 3.5

Wisdom by Rebecca Egan is the story of Tamara and Dom.
What can go wrong (or right) when a drunk induced wedding with the sobering next morning after? This was a cute take on the strangers married in Vegas and the aftermath to a happy ending. Enjoyed their story and hope to read more from this author.

This is an unusual story in many ways, beginning from the name of the main character and ending with a plot development from divorce to friendship and then to the romance. The book contains several of my favorite tropes such as Vegas wedding, from friends to lovers, from divorced strangers to good friends. Moreover, it is a slow burn novel, which I actually enjoy in the last time. While reading, it took me some time to get used to the writing style. However, there were moments where I felt totally disconnected with the story. The main characters are portrayed as direct opposites, an oversharing heroine and a closed off hero. I do understand, what the author wanted to show with it, but extending those qualities to their limits just makes the story feel less real.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is Rebecca Egan's second novel, <u>What He Forgot</u> being her first published novel. I suspect that this author will get better with each new work, given that the second half of this story about this "married in Vegas" got more interesting and flowed more smoothly than the first. Tamara was fun-loving and "chill" whereas Dom was reserved and had difficulty forming real relationships and friendships. I really enjoyed Tamara's efforts to get over Dom and refuse to live in self-delusion when he found he could not break the habit of a lifetime and open up to her, finally admitting his true feelings for him.
Not a bad effort, but the writing would flow more smoothly if the author used less descriptive words when the dialogue makes it obvious that the vendor is irked or smirking. (There was a lot of smirking in this novel.)
Still, an enjoyable read and I suspect this author will only improve and write a fully natural story with a bit more practice. She just has to get out of her own way with overly descriptive words and long, involved sentences. I recommend this one for Married In Vegas trope fans.

This was just ok for me. I didn’t love it and it was a struggle at times. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

I'm going to be honest....I could not finish the book. It was a disappointment for me.

This book got me hooked from the very start until the end. I adore this book very much! I giggled, I smiled, I even cried a little. The plot was amazing! This is not your typical boy meets girl love story. Which is really great!

I love Dom. I don't know why, but I could relate to him more than the other characters. I could understand why he was afraid to admit things. I could understand why he acted that way towards Tamara.

I really loved the story! I love the author's writing style. It was an easy read. While I was reading it, it felt like I was there in the story. And one of the things that made me finish this in one day is because it was really exciting. The author knew how to make you crave for what will happen next. It was fast-paced which I really like when I'm reading a book.

This didn't work for me.
I like a brooding Hero but to me this Hero and the subject seemed childish.
He struggles to open up to people but we have conversations about who us his friend. What is he 5?
The heroine laughs getting drunk and married to a stranger off as though it's one of life's experiences.
I just was expecting more depth.
No intimate scenes with anyone other than.
No cheating.
HEA.
