This book is impossible to read. The pov/active character changes each chapter but you’ve no indication who it is now until part way through the chapter, which then throws you and you then have to go back and reread it in the voice of the character it’s supposed to be. This was a DNF for me due to the poor writing style, which could be easily fixed had the author just written the characters name at the the side of the chapter no

A story about an love doctor with her own history and the man who flips her world upside down. At the beginning I got confused when the chapters switched points of view and didn't know it switched until further in the chapter. Really cute story and loved the message it shares.

I could not get into this one, I could not stand the writing/narrative style. I tried to get it more of a chance, but I could not do it. I've never read anything else by this author before, so I am not sure if it is them or just the way they were writing the character. But I was not able to keep reading it.

The premise of this book sounded great but I just couldn't get into it and ended up giving up on it. The writing style is confusing with the POV changing without making it obvious which character it is. I am also over every character with PCOS making out that an eating disorder and working out constantly is a cure and that anyone who doesn't has failed. They also make out that she was hideous when she was "fat & hairy". I wasn't a massive fan of Lily's character in general and her chapters just felt like a therapy session.

Unfortunately, this book wasn't for me. I often don't understand the humor in British rom coms, and that was the case here. I had trouble following whose POV the scenes were in. The overall voice was darker than I expect from a rom com. DNF.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I receive. This is my honest and voluntary review.

This book wasn't for me. I didn't like the writing style. The book was a bit of a struggle to read, mainly because it was unclear from which point of view it was written. It was hard to figure out who was talking. The plot was more serious than I thought it would be. It felt like a therapy session.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved Lily and Jay, but I absolutely adored Kevin and Dan. I would absolutely read their love story over and over again. The ending brought tears to my eyes. Lily finally pulled her head out of her ass, and Jay was exactly what we came to expect from him.. considerate, loving, and understanding.

An enjoyable read with a nice love story but almost better is the really warm and loving thread re friendship flowing through it.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I think I would have thoroughly enjoyed this book however I felt that it was quite a bit
Too adult for my taste and I couldn’t bring myself to finish it .However I think people from an older and less conservative audience would enjoy it more.

This is a funny and adorable book. When two people meet that have vowed not to have a serious relationship with anyone, sparks fly and they try to keep things at bay. As you can guess, lots of scenarios force them to be together. There is a ton of comedy in their situations to help alleviate some of the more serious aspects of their lives. It is a bit long with a lot of chapters spent on their self analysis, which I didn’t find necessary but overall it was a fun book. The drag scene added some exceptional humour and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at some parts. If you are looking for a rom/com than this is the one for you.

This book had promise and a really great premise, but it fell flat. I was confused from the minute the book started. I didn’t know who’s POV I was in and who these characters were. The jumping back and forth with no explanation really threw me. It was hard to stay invested and to actually want to finish this book.

Thank you to NetGallery, Harper Collins UK and One More Chapter for this eARC.

I loved the premise of this book and was instantly intrigued. This was a great love story that had me hooked.

I was so looking forward to this one and feel a bit let down by it.

I am hoping in the final version, they give a better description of who's POV we are in for each chapter. It was hard to keep up wiht that and figuring out who's head I was in was distracting and at times frustrating.

The story was cute, at times a bit slow, but overall a cute read.

I gave this book 3/5 stars.
One of the first thing that bothered me, but maybe it's just a problem in the ARC and it will be corrected when published, is that at first some chapters are a bit confusing because the different pov are not specified and i often had to read almost an entire page before understanding if that was Lily's or Jay's pov.
The story felt a bit slow at the beginning and then too fast in the second half, i'm not really a fan of insta-love.
I loved the first interactions between the two main characters, the sauna scenes were really funny and overall i liked all the characters.
The story between Kevin and Dan was so cute and i'm happy they were given so much space in the book.
Bonus points for talking about therapy, sexuality and pcos.

Thank you Harper Collins, One more chapter for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I really wanted to love this book but I didn’t work for me unfortunately. I liked that Lily, the female main character, is a sex and relationship psychologist. I love the fact that she is very independent and a hard working women.

Unfortunately the style of writing was a no go for me. I found the sudden switches in the point of views very confusing. I would have liked the story better when these switches where marked at the chapter title for example. The lack of this makes the book very difficult to read.

Also I found some topics in this book quite heavy. Personally I don’t have a really big problem with that but, I think the book has a wrong description. The book is introduced as a book for fans of Ali hazelwood and Emily Henry. I don’t think this book suits this genre. I think the book would suit better if there is a little less therapy in it.

In conclusion I think this book would have more potential if the point of view changes were more clear and there were a little less therapy topics in it. For now it wasn’t my cup of tea.

I'm sorry but as someone who lives with PCOS I do hope the author actually has it and is not writting what she thinks it's like. Couldn't get through it once I saw the "fat and hairy" comments. I do hope she's aware that exercising yourself to death doesn't magically repair PCOS induced weight.

Unfortunately, this book is rather confusingly written, with a barrage of characters making their appearance at once, which, combined with the chapters being told from different points of view, made reading this book a struggle rather than a pleasure.
Surely others will like it because it is not superficial and deals with rather important issues as well, but personally I couldn't wait to finish it.

Purtroppo questo libro é scritto in modo piuttosto confuso, con una marea di personaggi che fanno la loro comparsa contemporaneamente e che, uniti ai capitoli raccontati da diversi punti di vista, hanno reso la lettura di questo libro una battaglia piuttosto che un piacevole divertimento.
Sicuramente ad altri piacerá perché non é superficiale e tratta temi anche piuttosto importanti, ma personalmente non vedevo l'ora di finirlo.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

this was such a cute and fun read! it was very fast paced and i was able to finish it quickly! i absolutely loved these characters so much!!! lily and jay had such incredible chemistry and i loved seeing that tension and how it escalated throughout the whole book! and the other characters like cassie, kevin, and dan were EVERYTHING!! they definitely added so much to this story and i loved every second of it!! definitely will be reading more from this author!!💗

This was such an enjoyable and sweet read. The pace is nice and the story is easy to follow.
I really liked both the MC’s, but the cherry on top were the side characters as well.

The Love-experiment is a sweet contemporary romance but it doesn’t stop there. It touches on serious subjects as well, such as PCOS, infertility, coming out and abusive relationships. These subjects are all handled with care and it is well written.

Lily is the "love doctor” our relationship expert. Althoug, she hooks up, she is afraid of commitment. She has PCOS and knows having a family in the future will be very challenging, and that’s a reason for the fear of commitment. Jay, a great guy, who truly wants to find the one, but every date leaves him disappointed, no one lives up to his expectations. Jay dreams of starting a family and having children one day. However, after many disappointments and helping his sister, Jay decides to take a break and be chaste for six months. We all know what that means.
"He can’t date, she doesn’t date…but what happens when they fall in love?"

Once again this book brought up serious issues throughout the storyline, which can be heavy. It was a lot for a summer read romance, but it was done very well so I enjoyed it. If the subject matter may trigger you or you may not like it. Then this book isn’t for you. Other than that this was a cute read that I liked. It leaves you not only with a romance book but it leaves you with some food for thought.

*I would have loved an epilogue
