i was so excited for this book, but i finished it and just felt disappointment. both lizzy and jack lack depth, which made it extremely hard to connect to them or root for them, and the pacing of the romance was just very off, and made the whole thing feel really rushed. i really wanted to like this book, but i was very disappointed.

I throughly enjoyed this novel. In fact, it’s one of the few lately that has held my attention throughout the entire story. While I could see a few things coming, I never felt like rushing though it. I would definitely recommend it to friends.

Lizzy needs a vacation - yes, she just won her first case as an attorney, but she needs some time off. She rents an apartment above a bookstore and reunites with her best friend, Jack. Jack has always had a thing for her, so now’s his chance.

I took a bit of time between reading and writing this review, and unfortunately it just wasn’t that memorable for me. I liked the connection with the companion books, but I enjoyed those ones much better.

I do love a bookstore setting and the friends to lovers trope, so I still enjoyed reading it - it just didn’t have anything to take it above average for me.

The cover is super cute, and the spice level is deceiving! Expect some on page intimacy with this one.

This wasn’t bad, but it fell a bit flat for me. I think if I had the context of the town and prior books, I might’ve enjoyed it more as I feel like it would’ve been nice to “return” to that world. I wasn’t aware that this was part of a series, which is no fault of the author or publisher, and while I think they can be read alone, I think it would’ve made for a more enjoyable and seamless read if I had known about the other books first.

I really struggled to finish this one. I kept picking it up, reading a few pages and then walking away from it. I felt like it was slow and rushed all at the same time. Maybe I'm not this books key demographic.

Well, this was sweet! Best friends become lovers mixed with small town mixed with bookshop setting: all things I love! The chemistry was wonderful. Didn’t love the breakup reasoning but it all turned out in the end, as we knew it would.

Jack and Lizzy have been friends since childhood. Lizzy grew up to be a high-powered attorney in LA while Jack stayed in their hometown to work at his family’s brewery. When Lizzy begins to reevaluate her career and what she wants out of life, she moves to the small town where Jack is to help run a bookstore. From there, Jack and Lizzy reconnect and explore the potential of becoming more.

This friends-to-lovers story had all the makings of a 5-star read, but it just didn’t get there. The characters lacked depth and the romance felt a bit juvenile. The bookstore setting was fun, and overall the story was cute, but it just wasn’t a home run for me.

I love books about books but this one fell a little flat for me. It was ok. I finished it and it was a fun read but unfortunately it was forgettable.

Heartwarming and sweet. Who doesn’t love a good friends to lovers storyline. Throw in a bookstore for the backdrop and I’m hooked. I enjoyed this book, easy reading and fun. It was the perfect beach read for me.

This was a great story. I liked that both characters were able to find themselves THEN find each other in the end. The bookstore element was a fun nod to those of us who love books and being around them all the time. A fun read for those wanting a diverse romance that also has a lot of heart.

"Even when faced with the knowledge that she didn't know who she was or what she wanted in life, she was certain of one thing. She loved Jack."

THIS WAS THE BEST FRIENDS TO LOVERS TROPE I'VE EVER READ. Tbh, I've always been more of an enemies to lovers trope fan, but this book honestly changed my mindset. Lizzy Chung has spent her whole life doing things that follow her mother's expectations. Becoming a lawyer and working in a firm, and now en route to becoming partner have always been the map of her life. However, after a breakdown in court where her anxiety just couldn't handle it, Lizzy takes time off from work and leaves LA to go visit Weldon. That small town also happens to be the place where Jack Park, Lizzy's childhood best friend lives. Lizzy always saw Jack as a bestie, but unfortunately, Jack has always been in love with Lizzy. Sadly, to prevent the friendship from ever getting ruined and losing Lizzy forever, Jack has always had his feelings hidden. However, will the next few weeks in Weldon not only change Lizzy's mind about Jack, but also her perspective on her life choices? Lizzy's real dream is to open a bookstore, and when she sees a local bookstore needing help, she jumps right into the task. Does she want to go back to LA and her nerve-inducing job, or stay in Weldon where she enjoys her dream career? Jack's also got issues of his own when it comes to his career in accounting, and wanting to branch out of the family business. Meanwhile, the more time Jack and Lizzy spend time together, boundaries are getting broken...A MUST READ Y'ALL.

I tried multiple times, but I just couldn't get into this one unfortunately, but I'm sure it's just not for me.

Couldn't get into it at all. Not quite sure what wasn't working, but I wasn't interested. DNF @ 30%. Thank you to the publisher for the advanced copy!

This book was just okay for me. I don’t know if it’s the bookstore lover/owner theme that seems to have been in so many books I’ve read recently (completely by accident) or if the relationship and obstacles in their way felt so low stakes, but I only somewhat enjoyed the read.

If you like a friends-to-lovers romance with very low stakes this book is for you.

Such a sweet romance to read in one sitting! Booked on a Feeling by Jayci Lee is a cute friends to lovers book that amuses you with sweet banter, some hilarious moments, and sweet convos that you don't want to put down. The series in general is also wonderful!

I loved every second of reading this book, honestly couldn't put it down. It was just the kind of entertaining read I needed

An adorable romance that is heavily set in a bookstore? Sign me up! This book was heartwarming and sweet and the friends to lovers trope is one of my favorites. Lizzy and Jack have been friends for decades but a vacation for Lizzy brings their feelings for each other out into the open. This book has romance, self discovery, living up to the expectations of parents, and new friendships. I loved this book and I will definitely be recommending it to any romance lovers out there.

I really enjoyed this second chance friends to lovers romance, where the big city lawyer Lizzie goes to the small town and realizes she is in love with her lifelong best friend Jack… and then has to figure out what she wants out of life and what will make her happy. Lizzie also has serious anxiety issues so take that as a content warning - although I loved seeing that mental health representation.

The writing style was good and I flew through the pages. Again very boring and just sweet. The sweet romance novels don't really do it for me.

I really enjoyed this book. I found the main character a total girl boss who fell apart under pressure and had to pick herself back up. I enjoyed the story line and the step back she took from her day job while trying to continue making her family proud. I found this book a lot of fun and enjoyable.
