This was what I expected from a Meg Cabot book- an excellent escape from real life.

No Words is the next book in the Little Bridge Island series. It centers on childrens' book author Jo Wright and her dislike of fellow author Will Price. I will spare you the drawn-out description of events, as you can find that literally anywhere. What I will tell you is that this enemies-to-lovers romance is a delight. It is everything you want from a Meg Cabot book- extremely funny, very sweet, and a delight to read. I hope the author writes more books in this series because Little Bridge Island is practically a character- I know I want to live there!

If you love Meg Cabot be sure to pick this one up. You won't regret it.

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow Paperbacks for an ARC of No Words by Meg Cabot.

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review. I really enjoy the Little Bridge series-I so want to go to an island like this and soak up the magic sunsets! I really loved the dueling author plot of this installment in the series....and while I found it frustrating that the main character obsessed about why her nemesis said what he did and spent so much time not wanting to accept the apology given to her, I could also totally relate to that aspect of her personality, since I know I am also a bit Sicilian when it comes right down to it!

Just tossing this out there, I wasn't aware this was the 3rd book in the series when I requested an ARC, so that's my bad, but thankfully I didn't get lost or confused with the storyline.

No Words follows Jo and Will, two very different authors who have a strong dislike for each other as they both participate in a book festival on Little Bridge Island. It's your standard enemies-to-lovers romcom, which I'm a total sucker, and I really loved watching Jo and Will's relationship evolve.

My only complaint was the amount of cat references Jo made... I love cats, but that was a lot.

No Words is a sweet, fast, fun romance read that you can escape into this fall! Jo is a popular children's author who has had writer's block ever since Will Price made a snarky comment about her books at a book convention. She's been invited to attend another book convention, and under the assumption that Will won't be there, she attends. You know where this is heading-he's definitely there and they are definitely going to butt heads.

There's humor, relatability, misunderstandings, some conflict but not enough to irritate you, parts where you can roll your eyes along with the main character, and a nice little ending that'll make you happy. I stayed up late to finish this and it was well worth my time! If you're into romances, enjoy enemies-to-lovers but get tired of how awful characters can be as enemies, like Meg Cabot, or just want a great book to take on vacation, grab No Words!

Thanks to Netgalley and William Morrow and Custom House for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

First off I have to think NetGalley for providing me a free ARC of No Words, in exchange for an honest review!

I have “no words” for No Words by Meg Cabot (well, maybe a few). This was a truly delightful continuation in the Little Bridge series.

Jo is a precious and quirky children’s author who writes about a super kitty (so cute) and Will Price is a romance author. The two have a rocky past and when Jo finds out Will is in charge of the book festival she is attending, she is dreading the opportunity. This has an enemies to lovers trope as a result of miscommunication, but when you realize how sweet Will truly is it makes your heart warm. This book had a quick ending and I’d love to hear more about Will and Jo, but all in all it was a lovely story!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a story about miscommunications.

This book was cute, and really comedic at points. The setting was unique & a significant part of the story- which is something I always love! The story was sweet & I wouldn’t really call it enemies to lovers? But it was certainly miscommunication to lovers. The most significant piece impacting my enjoyment was the number of cat related puns- I get it, the MC writes a series about cats… but I think I hit my cat character reference limit at around the 25% mark. I think this will be a good fit for romcom fans!

Thank you so much Netgalley and William Morrow books for this eArc!

Humorous book about two authors and their involvement in a book festival. Jo, a children's author, is being paid a lot to attend, which is great as long as she doesn't run into her arch nemesis, Will, a best-selling author. He did something unforgivable to her years ago and she can't stand him. In an enjoyable twist of fate, Will and Jo progress from being enemies to being romantically involved. Cute story. Recommended.

Thank you NetGalley for sending this arc for an honest review.

To begin with if your looking for something to read in the summer this book is the perfect combination of like people we meet on vacation clashed with the hating game. I enjoyed this story so much as to I wish there was more to it. Seeing two writers come together to the same place when they hate each other all to realize they just have miscommunication was just a beautiful think to unfold. In all honesty takes a lot of guts to do the things the ML did. Man white men never fail to amaze me in these books.

Sad honstley but that’s how u know the author is a good writer

I have “No Words'' for how much I enjoyed this book 😆. It’s filled with humorous misunderstandings between a broody romance author and a quirky children’s author that inevitably lead to adorable moments who were destined to be with one another. It pulled me in from the very first moment. The book dropped in sarcastic wit and had me laughing at how unforgiving her attitude was towards Will.

I loved seeing the different authors that were gathered for the convention. Each with their own expertise and different tropes, it was fun to see the mixture of different personalities and how they provided a more well rounded cast. I like the bit of mystery in both the author's book and Will's book and how the author creatively intertwined snippets of Will’s books with her own to help guide the story. And though it was a bit cheesy at times, it was fun to see all the cat puns and lingo that was used throughout the book.

For the romance part of my heart, the book was a little underwhelming. I craved more of that aspect and was hoping to get more scenes with Will and Jo, but their development seemed to be a slow burn with very little build up with a rushed ending. Will and Jo had such great chemistry that I wish the book explored more of. Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for their ARC

I want to thank Harper Collins for granting my wish to read and review “No Words”. I love Meg Cabot and all of her previous works including “No Words”
A children’s book author and a bestselling author have a rocky start. Forgiveness and understanding bring these two together in this romantic comedy.

Like a few others, I didn't realize this was the third in a series, but luckily there was no real relationship to the two previous books (I'm assuming there were overlapping island characters). Overall, I thought this book was "fine." I put off writing a review just because I don't really have much more to say than that. There's no real tension in the plot. It's a boy likes girl after one meeting, boy accidentally insults girl and then makes it up for it. The book never felt like it was building to anything so it was hard to get invested in the story.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC of this book.

No Words is a delightful continuation of the Little Bridge Island series. Meg Cabot perfectly captures what happens when miscommunication takes over someone's life and hilarity ensures on a tiny island in the Florida Keys. The back and forth between the main characters makes for a wonderful "will they won't they" we've come to love with Cabot's storytelling.

If you like an insta-love/lust between two people who don’t really know each other, especially when the woman has a rather justified reason to be angry at the guy, then you’ll enjoy this book.

While I liked the description of the book festival and a behind-the-scenes look at what authors do during one of these, I just couldn’t buy the whole premise. The writing and dialogue was fun and I liked the other authors, but I would have liked more development of the relationship than going from her resentment to long-lasting love over a weekend.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

Super cute book that flew by for me. It was an easy read due to the tone and lightness in the story itself. You get caught up in the characters lives you will lose track of time.

Meg Cabot could write the telephone book and I would be first in line to read it. I have read every single thing she has ever written and No Words is another winner.

I love getting to revisit Little Bridge Island and getting glimpses of the characters from the previous books. The concept of this book with the Book Con and enemy authors is great. The enemies to lovers, will they won't they is well executed. I loved every minute of reading No Words.

A fun read that gives hints to previous characters from this series. I found Jo a little annoying at first and unable to see past her own biases, but was glad she changed at the end. Will is likeable love interest but I wished he was developed a little more.

I couldn’t put this book down and read it in one day. Yes, I was that enraptured. This is my first time reading a book by Meg Cabot, but the fact that she wrote The Princess Diaries (LOVE that movie) and from reading the synopsis, I was intrigued. I now would like to read Meg’s entire backlog of novels. This was so good, I even read in the car (yes, someone else was driving), and you should know, this generally makes me car sick. But I had to know. I had to know how it all turned out.

This story centers around the first annual Little Bridge Book Festival, in Little Bridge Island, Florida. Our heroine, Jo Wright, is a beloved children’s author who refuses to attend the festival as her nemesis and fellow author, William Price live there. You see, Will said some unsavory things about Jo to the press and she has been waiting to exact her revenge. But Jo (who happens have written 26 books in her Kitty Katz: Kitten Sitter series) can’t seem to write book 27. She has the dreaded writer’s block. After confirming with her agent that William will not be attending, Jo attends hoping that a different location and salty sea air will help unlock her writers block. All of that changes once she sees that Will is, in fact, present for the festival.

Jo is determined to keep away from Will and all Will wants to do is apologize. As they days of the festival wear on, Jo realizes that not everything is what it seemed. That perhaps there is more to William Price. This book has the best set of secondary characters that are like a mini community, each author writes a different genre or category, but they jive so well. Absolutely loved this book!

Thank you to Netgalley and William Morrow for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and Williams Morrow for making that happen.

Okay, so I've read all three of the books now in the Little Bridge series and honestly, they are pretty cookie cutter fare. No Words was no different in that regard. The book had pretty straightforward characters and some semblance of a plot, but overall it was just kind of meh.

I felt like the issue between the two main characters was resolved too quickly and not in a way that made sense. If someone had maligned my work in the New York Times, it would be so hard to ever speak to that person, let alone find them attractive in any way. But Will apologizes, calls her beautiful, and Jo Wright just swoons right into his arms. It just doesn't make me believe in their relationship.

There was hardly any tension, and what little was there felt forced. I would have liked to see more anger from Jo, more attempts at reconciliation from Will, just more conflict in general. The book just felt flat.

Overall, it's not the worst book I've read, nor the best. It's very middle of the road.

Author Meg Cabot continues to prove that she is an author intent on delighting her readers one book at a time. In this, her third installment to the Little Bridge Island series, she invites readers to meet veteran children's author Jo Wright. Jo has come to Little Bridge Island in order to present at their first ever book-festival. There is really only one problem, bestselling author Will Price lives on the island. Will Price who made a derogatory off-the-cuff comment about her work that resonates to this day. Who cares if that was a year ago or that she is in the midst of a terrible creative drought? Book-festival or not, Will Price must be hated at all costs, never mind that he's beautiful, British and seems to lose the ability to say intelligent things whenever she is near. Being on Little Bridge Island seems like the worse idea ever, that is, until it isn't. With her signature, laugh-out-loud dialogue and well-written characters, Cabot does not disappoint. In fact, the only negative to this book is coming to the last page only to realize you have to wait months until the next installment arrives.

Probably 3.5 for me. I really enjoyed the continuation of this series and I love Little bridge so much. I enjoyed most of the characters but some just grated my nerves (Garrett and Frannie). I loved the book-ish themes and the festival.
