This book is laugh out loud funny, sharp, and absolutely adorable! I can’t wait for more from Kelsey!

It was a cute read. Not you’ve got mail cute but cute. Idk I think it’s because enemies to lovers isn’t my favorite trope that this wasn’t more for me. It was weird how Madeline was the only one hell bent on saving a family business. Like everyone else just appeasing her. Ehh maybe I’m just too old for this one.

Thanks NetGalley for the preview!

This book was cute but I almost gave up multiple times. I felt like the internal monologue of Madeline got redundant. The prank war was a lot of the same. I did enjoy the variety of characters. They had a happy ending but their relationship wasn’t really believable to go from bad to fixed so quickly.

An absolute delight and a surprise one-sitting read for me! An enemies-to-lovers romance featuring booksellers at rival bookstores, an actual book influencer, all the nerding out that comes with fandom, it was all here and I ate it up.

I wasn't as sold on the absent mother storyline -- I was more than happy to escape in a YA romcom! -- and the third act break-up wasn't my favorite (though these are 17-year-olds, drama's the name of the game), but overall, I was so pleasantly surprised by this one and truly enjoyed it to the point where I set aside the other book I was already halfway through because I was so engrossed in this one!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a free advanced copy of this book to read and review.

This was such a cute little book. I really enjoyed getting to meet each of the characters and loved the tricks that each one played in the other. The banter between the characters was great.

To me as a reader this was You’ve Got mail for teens. Two rival book stores. Madeline is determined to save her families bookstore. She doesn’t want to like Jasper. So ensue two teens and the bookstore battle that follows adds aspects of Romeo and Juliet without all the death. And gives the reader a humorous teen rom com.

This was delightfully adorable.

The bookish prank battle was truly epic, and the protagonists' emotional journey was very believable and realistic.

It was not really my cup of tea for a romance, but I read this one for my high school library, and I can definitely think of some students that would enjoy this one.

It took me a while to get into this book but once I did my heart and brain were fully invested. I have never read such a hard yet eventually heartwarming YA. The family topics were rough but well written. I can’t wait to read what the author writes next.

I thought this was going to be a cute story like Tweet Cute but sadly this just wasn't that. This was a all red flags romance that I ended up DNFing about 75 or so pages in.

I will always, ALWAYS read a retelling of You've Got Mail. Always. And this didn't disappoint, especially written from a YA perspective for a YA audience! I found this absolutely delightful and cozy and fun.

This was a really cute premise.. think "you've got mail".. but the main character was so annoying it fell a little flat. There were some heartwarming and funny moments. I would have given more stars, but the main character was really just too obnoxious for my taste.

I really wanted to like this one because of its cute cover, enemies-to-romance trope, and bookstore setting. Really, it seemed like an adorable YA version on You've Got Mail. However, the language is too much for me. In all honesty, I didn't read a single page, but opened to the middle out of curiosity and the language pretty much assaulted me on that one page alone. A quick skim proved the language was pretty heavy throughout the book and therefore, not for me.

I started reading this book and found that it was not for me. I didn't want to review a book that I didn't finish.

As a librarian, this title warmed my little bookish heart. I'm a sucker for a good romance, and one that revolves around books is just like my own personal dreamscape. It was adorable and could be a cheesy Hallmark movie (who doesn't love those??)

I was excited to dig in to this enemies-to-lovers YA romance about employees at rival book stores. It sounded as if it was inspired by You've Got Mail! But unfortunately, I could not connect with this book. I found the main character very irritating, and the plot never seemed to solidify in a way that kept me wanting to turn the page. The enemies-to-lovers trope was was one-sided, since Madeline was pretty oblivious that Jasper was into her, and the potential chemistry fizzled pretty quickly. Unfortunately, this book just wasn't for me.

This was an absolutely adorable story and a future Hallmark movie for sure. I'm a sucker for a romance that has anything to do with a book store and this was certainly no exception.
