2.5 stars

Booked on a Feeling has all of the elements in a book friends to lovers and a bookstore. While I really did enjoy seeing Lizzy and Jack get to know each other again and figure out what they really wanted in life, for some reason I just didn't feel invested in these characters. The ending did leave a smile on my face, but maybe things just didn't dive deep enough for me. This was a cute contemporary romance, but it just wasn't my favorite.

*Booked on a Feeling* by Jayci Lee is a warm, charming romance that beautifully balances humor and heart. The chemistry between Maddie and Jake is undeniable, and the bookstore setting adds a cozy, inviting touch. While the story hits all the right emotional beats, the pacing can feel a bit slow at times. Still, it’s an enjoyable read with endearing characters and a feel-good romance.

such a heartwarming book. loved the anxiety representation. lizzy and jack are so lovable and i want their lives!

Jayce lee, make me feel more than I already want to feel. This book was the cutest and sowing the yearning, the love. ugh I love them so much, cannot stop thinking about them. Besides that this book came out on my birthday, it makes it 10000 better, my fav from all times.

Sadly, I went on too many requesting sprees when first starting out on NetGalley and it has tanked my ratio. Now that I’m taking my role as a reviewer more seriously, I’m being more intentional with the books I request and clearing out my shelves of books that I’m no longer interested in.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book. When I finally read it, I will come back and write a review.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for sending me a copy for my honest review!

This had so much potential but fell short for me. To me this read more YA but then had lots of heat, which was fine but read a little off for me.

It was a little strange for me to get behind Lizzy and her choice to just up and leave after winning a career changing case. Someone who worked so hard to get what she wants and just leaves, felt a little off to me.

Again, there was so much potential and I think it's because it read more YA.

Booked on a Feeling by Jayci Lee is such a cute story! The love interests were amazing, and I really enjoyed the chemistry between them however, the lack of communication between the characters did get a little frustrating for me.

I love a book that surrounds my favourite things — books and love! And this book had both and was absolutely adorable! A good read!

As a known friends to lovers critic, this story captured my heart with it's earnestness and sweetness. I am a sucker for a small town setting and even more so for books that happen in a bookish setting. Some of the emotional moments I felt like were cut short or could have been flushed out more. I was close to 4 stars with this one, but feel it truly feels more in the 3.5 range.

I was really looking forward to this book. I really enjoy books about bookstores and readers. However, I wasn’t a huge fan of the romance tropes included in this one.

It was cute but the answer seemed obvious the whole time.

Thank you to Net Gallley for the advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for reading and reviewing.

I love a good story about someone who thinks they have their entire life planned out, only to realize they have been chasing the wrong dream. There is something about adulthood that makes you question every decision you have made so far, and it’s always fun to see a character rewrite their ending!

I am also a sucker for a friends to lover story, especially one with friends who have been friends for decades! How sweet! And the bookstore side story was also a great addition. While I will say this story was lacking something I can’t quite put my finger on to make it a great romance, it was an enjoyable, cute, quick read.

Not my favorite but definitely a good book. Pacing was a bit out of order but nothing too detrimental, it was still a fun read. Love a childhood friends to lovers and especially love a tough female main character.

Unfortunately this one just didn't work for me. I've liked other things by this author, but this one wasn't for me.

There was a lot going on in Jayci Lee's BOOKED ON A FEELING, but personally I found it a really enjoyable read! The "failing bookstore" aspect was also so fun as someone who loves to read books about books -- overall, a solid romance!

I don't know if i liked this book or didnt like this book. maybe i am indifferent. I read the dating dare and gave it one star so maybe i set myself up for not really enjoying this one.

Such a lovely, sweet romance! Loved the characters right from the jump. Feel good reading at its finest. Friends to lovers, small town romance <3

I really enjoyed this book. I love reading romance to break up the thrillers/fantasy I read and this was the perfect book for that. If you’re looking for a quick easy read that’s sure to get you out of a slump, this is it!
