Although not a book I would purchase in my professional role, it is one that I will be recommending in my personal life! Thank you so much for allowing me to have access to the digital arc!

I had high hopes for this one but was sadly underwhelmed.
This sounded like a cute romance- I usually enjoy small town, cozy vibes but ugh..
I couldn't deal with the strong miscommunication theme because one of the characters can’t just speak!!
This was just okay for me.

This was such a lovely book!
The Rebound by Catherine Walsh is a childhood-friends-to-lovers romance that had me swooning. This was so well done for a trope I always end up picking apart. While there weren't flashbacks to rely on a set friendship, the tone between the characters sets a perfect scene. It was on the realistic side of a romance book which I loved to see. This book was such an ease to read, and I can't wait to pick up more from this author. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Abby Reynolds has just walked out of her perfect life in Manhattan and returned home to Ireland. She has found herself unemployed, homeless, and absolutely 100% single. All of these facts she is hiding from her family.

When she touches down in Ireland she rekindles the friendship with her old best friend, Luke, but now he is definitely a changed man.

When Liv’s lies m catch up with her will she be able to admit her feelings to Luke without losing everything?

I read this book in one sitting it was just so good.

This slow burn romance honestly had me swooning, its beautifully written and pulled me right into the characters relationship. Their relationship is sweet, with funny moments and the flirting was amazing. I've never read from this author before but I'm for sure going to check out their other book, can't wait to read more from them in the future as well!

This was such a wonderful fast paced book. The romance was so sweet and feel good. I’d definitely recommend for someone looking for an easy romance.

I really enjoyed this one! I loved getting to know the characters and the setting! It was well written and a fast read. I liked the plot too! It was great!

"The Rebound": 3 ⭐

This story was so easy to follow, a beautiful and simple writing, easy to understand even for those who don't speak the language.
The main characters were super sweet and lovely and I read this book in one sitting.
Abby and Luke are head over heels for each other and I loved the whole cute plot the author brought to us. It was exactly de book I needed to bring me up.

This was one of the cutest romance books I have read in a long time. This book follows Abby who is from a small town, but she made her life's mission to get out and be successful in the city. She has to go back to that small town and she catches up with Luke (small town boy) who she used to be childhood friends with. The sarcastic back and forth banter between these two characters made this book so much fun. It was your classic slow burn cute romance. If you do not like the miscommunication Trope, you will NOT like this book. Half of this book would have been avoided if Abby just communicated with her family and Luke the entire book.

I really really liked this book.
I read it during my exam week and I think it's perfect, it is a light read and a page-turner.
I liked Abby's personality a lot, I mean, she knew what she wanted and she got it. Queen.
And Luke was so freaking cute, it hurts.

This is the second book I read from this author and, let me say, I loved both. Very romantic, very funny, very complete.

The sister's plot was definitely a plus in this book, 5/5.

Abby left her hometown of Clonard for the bright lights and non stop work in New York without giving it a second thought. Now, she has no job, no fiance and has returned home to live with the sister she has never gotten along with. When she finally gets over the shock of what her life has become, Abby starts to realise that being back home has some benefits and one of them is Luke, her former childhood neighbour. Just as she is starting to find her groove, her ex and a great job opportunity arrive. Will Abby give in to temptation and return to her fancy lifestyle or will renewed relationships in Clonard be what she wants? A great story.

Similar to the good girl complex, I knew that the Rebound by Catherine Walsh would be a book I‘d enjoy.

I liked Abby because she is sooo relatable. It was easy to understand why she acts the way she does.
Luke is such a cutie too, I love the grumpy but very cute puppy attitude he got going on.
The side characters were soooo loveable too and Ireland served wonderfully as charming romcom setting.

It‘s always hard to write a review for a book you really enjoyed, that‘s why this one is so short.

If you‘re looking for a romcom feel-good book without too much drama and a smalltown setting, the rebound is certainly the book for you.

lovely book! read it and one sitting could not put it down for one second. will definitely recommend it to people who love books like this.

I really enjoyed this book. It was such a sweet romantic read, easy to read and left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling!

When Abby Reynolds loses her fiancé, job and apartment in New York in a few short weeks she decides to move back to Clonard Ireland with her sister. Who she doesn't have the best relationship with and that doesn't know about how bad her life has become. Stranded at the bus stop she meets a handsome stranger Luke who offers to take her home and Abby realises he's the perfect person to take her mind off the terrible things happening in her life. Until Abby realises who he is, her next door neighbour who she used to spend every waking moment with as children. But Luke already knew who she was. Is Abby ready to admit to everyone back home how bad her life is or is she going to keep her lies going?

This was so good watching Abby and Louise's relationship grow and become stronger. The friendships in here were perfect. Luke and Abby's relationship was so good the way it slowly burned. The fact there were really issues regarding fertility and climate problems also added to the story. I really enjoyed this every character was so well fleshed out from main characters to side characters. I'd definitely read more from this author again.

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for my copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Yes, please! I really enjoyed this read. It was well written, easy to get I to and read, and the cover is cute.

I enjoyed reading this book. This was an adorable rom com, I couldn’t put it down and I finished in one sitting!!!

I enjoyed reading this book. It was a cute rom com and I read it in one sitting. It didn't wow me or blow my mind, but it was a okay.
3 stars read.

This was a very enjoyable rom com that was easy to read and had fun characters and a simple yet interesting storyline. It's not one I''d rave about but I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to others

This was my second Catherine Walsh book and it was just as cute as the first. The Rebound was a cute and light book about starting over, going back to your roots, falling in love and reconnecting with family. I enjoyed that it wasn't just about the romance element. I loved how Walsh focused on family relationships and I think she portrayed them beautifully. The Irish description of the Irish countryside was beautiful as well. I would give it 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4.
