an extremely light, thoroughly engaging, bookish rom com that takes place at an authors/books/literary conference/festival.

No Words was cute, fresh, and fun! The characters were just the right amount of quirky and loveable. The setting of a book festival on an island seemed like a dream getaway for a reader or an author. I would have liked a little more romance earlier in the story. The build-up wasn't quite enough to make the relationship seem real when Jo and Will finally acknowledged their feelings.

There was nothing wrong with this book, and there was nothing right with this book. It is a book to take to the beach over the summer and half-read with a pina colada in hand.

I finished it nary an hour ago and the only name I remember is Chloe’s, the sister of the male lead, and Garrett, the horrid jerk who got his comeuppance. Cabot tried to play the lead as an independent feminist, but then the lead went crazy just seeing the male lead, even thinking about the male lead, and totally lost her head. His negative comments put her in a funk a year ago, and his affirmations of her are what inspire her and get her out of her funk in present time. Her actions are directed by him and his opinions, which is not a great message…

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC.

Absolutely delightful! This book is a perfect beach read. I hadn't read the first two books in the series, but that was not necessary to follow the story. It's an enemies-to-lovers, closed-door romance, so maybe not for every fan, but it should definitely resonate with everyone who has been a fan of children's/YA authors.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I hadn't read the first two books in the series yet when I requested this title. However, I've since read the first two books and disliked both. I've been putting this one off since I doubt I'll like it more, and it's time to let it go. If I ever come back to it I'll update this review!

I fully admit that I added Meg Cabot to my list of authors to auto-buy books from a long, long time ago, but that is only because they are SO GOOD. No Words is one of my favorite titles of hers in recent years.

About the Book: Welcome to Little Bridge, one of the smallest, most beautiful islands in the Florida Keys. Jo Wright always swore she’d never step foot on Little Bridge Island—not as long as her nemesis, bestselling author Will Price, is living there. Then Jo’s given an offer she can’t refuse: an all-expense paid trip to speak and sign at the island’s first ever book festival.

Readers, of course Will is at the festival. Not a spoiler, I promise. I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure to the Florida Keys and seeing the author side of book festivals. Fans of Meg Cabot will enjoy spending more time on Little Bridge Island, but you do not have to have read the previous books to enjoy this title. This sunny romance will have you shaking off your winter blues in no time.

Meg Cabot's NO WORDS is a quick, fun, and light adult romance that will be a fun read for anyone who loved her YA books. The Florida setting takes center stage in this book and the others in this series, which sets the mood for this beach read. This is a sweet and fast read.

I have been a fan of Meg for years and this was such an easy read. I would read every Little Bridge Island book she wants to give us. The setting, the characters, the storyline were all winners. I wanted a little more drama in this one, but overall so much fun.

No Words follows two rival authors- Jo and Will. The two are united at Little Bridge's newest book festival, where Jo learns that perhaps Will is not the man that she initially thought that he was. He seems genuinely remorseful for his past actions and wants to make them right by Jo.

I had a lot of fun with the setting of this novel. Little Bridge Island is a fantastic place to read about, and I loved the book festival being at the heart of the story. I also did genuinely enjoy the dynamic between Jo and Will. However, there was a lot of immature behavior from Jo. Oftentimes she was downright annoying, and it was something that made the book immensely less enjoyable. Overall, I had fun, but there were a lot of elements of the story that I could have done without and that would have made it a more pleasant reading experience.

I have been reading Meg Cabot for years. And every book I have gone through has been a great reading experience.

No Words was a fun new story. And I truly enjoyed it. But there is just always something about one of her books that makes me nostalgic for the way I felt when I was a teenager reading. My tastes have obviously changed. And I probably couldn't go back to a lot of books I read as a teen. My cynical adult brain just wouldn't read them the same.

But having such a familiar author lets me still have all the warm and fuzzies, but from a much different perspective.

Jo and Will were great characters too. You go into it wanting to hate this man. But slowly you don't know how to feel. This book was very reminiscent to a good Hallmark movie. And I could have totally seen myself watching this curled up on a screen.

Thank you for still keeping that reading crazy teen loving books, and being able to grow along with the stories

I liked cute, funny & adorable. . Hard not to enjoy. Nice characters. Very enjoyable. If something can go wrong it usually does. Fast read.

I read every single Meg Cabot book as a teenager, and still to this day thoroughly enjoy any and all of her books. I appreciate her candidness, but I guess as I've gotten older, I don't appreciate her writing as much. It seems a little young or maybe I'm just getting old!

“Then again, to be a published author, you had to have more than a little confidence in yourself. Otherwise you’d never have the courage to share your writing with the world, much less continue trying to do so after the inevitable rejections and bad reviews.”

I thought that this had parts of it that I found to be fun, but other parts that bordered on a little bit too quirky for me to fully like. There is just something about a grown women sort of un-ironically replacing phrases with cat phrases that was a little weird for me. I also felt like her ability to hold a grudge extended beyond like a normal response to being something that was a bit immature. Individually I liked the characters but felt like this story had a little too many characters and moving parts for me to fully feel immersed. Overall it gave me similar vibes and themes of beach read so I think it was fun to read something similar, but I wasnt in love with the story unfortunately.

I'm a die hard Cabot fan, and I love the world she has created! I feel like I am back with friends and with a community I love.

A cute, light-hearted story that maybe had a little too much cheese-factor for me. I loved the island setting and the idea of rival authors at a book event. However, I never really got invested in the characters or the plot. Too many cliche conversations for my liking.

But if you like romantic comedy that is sugary sweet, this series could be for you!

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

The story is interesting and cute, characters are good as well. It was a little bit predictable but overall good

This Little Bridge Island series is soooo good! I think this one may be my favorite though. The sparks between Jo and Will fly immediately and the romantic tension is thrilling to read. I totally dig her version of the enemies-to-lovers trope and think she handles it so well in this book. Also, I always like her side support characters as they add greater dimension to the books and make them so much more entertaining.

Great reading from beginning to end and so hard to put down. Action packed, emotional roller-coaster filled with witty and engaging charters, dangerous twists and heart racing turns. Really enjoyed this adventure.

A perfect little book from an author who knows her core. An author in need of a quick payday. A book festival in a wonderful cocoon of a setting. A look at the backstabbing that book festivals can produce, and a repentant book critic . It’s a marvelous way to spend a warm afternoon in the world of words.
