Enjoyed the funeral home setting and the supporting characters but I didn’t connect at all with Kat. The family aspect was very well done, showing how you don’t just date a person but their entire family. Kat’s business acumen was also a nice contrast to her dating mishaps but I just found her to be flighty and unlikable, making it difficult to get through this story.

I had really high hopes for this book!
It was an ok read, I went in thinking this would be a fun romcom because of the cover but halfway through I found myself just trying to force my way through it. Mick I love you! Kat you make me want to scream. I'm sad that that's all I have to say for this book.
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC

Too Wrong to Be Right is a sweet romcom featuring a recently single florist with big dreams of owning her own flower shop and a man running his family’s funeral home with his two siblings. After meeting literary on someone’s dead body, Kat and Mick immediately form a friendship that will last forever. It’s not all roses though, with denial of feelings and Mr. perfect being Mick’s brother. Kat and Mick’s story is a sweet love story that grows from strangers to friends to lovers. I liked how determined Kat was to follow her dreams and Mick’s development in learning how to stick up for himself with working for a family business. My only real issue with this book was sometimes the side plots seemed unnecessary and not super important to the main plot.

thank you Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review

first of all can we talk about how gorgeous this cover is? it’s so pretty.

i know i’m quite late on this review but everyone that follows me on twitter knows that these past few months were hard and i barely had the time to read anything so i’m sorry for this late review.

unfortunately this book just wasnt for me. im not a huge fan of pursuing someone else while theres an obvious choice so this book really didnt work out for me. it was a fun read at first but it just became too much after awhile

i would give it between 2 and 2.5 stars

This was an okay contemporary romance and was easy to read. After Kat gets dumped, she decides to swear off what she deems as the wrong type of guy. She then immediately (like same day) meets cute and charming Mick. They have chemistry and he's interested in her, but Kat decides he seems too similar to her exes and goes for Mick's boring older brother instead. Why? They have nothing in common, not much attraction, but he's responsible and I guess that's what she thinks she needs?

Kat wasn't my favorite character. She's insecure about her relationships, both romantic and platonic, and seems to make poor decisions like going after a guy she doesn't like. She also does that thing I hate, where the woman tells the man to leave, but when he does she gets mad because he should have fought for her. He respected your boundaries and you're angry? Maybe say what you mean then.

Mick is great and I felt bad for him that he had to watch Kat try to hook up with his brother. I probably would've just moved on and I think he's the one that deserved a big gesture, not her.

I did like Seamus, the talking parrot, as well as Kat's grandma. They were cute side characters and added a bit of fun.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book. All opinions are my own. Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the copy

This was a cute book, entertaining, and the characters were realistic. I do feel as though this dragged a touch, otherwise, I will definitely take a look at the first book to learn a little bit more about the world!

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's press for this ARC!

Thank you to St. Martins Press for the review copy of Too Wrong to be Right by Melonie Johnson. The very first line had be wondering how much I might laugh and enjoy the edgy funny vibe this ode to romcoms/romance tropes has to offer and indeed I had fun with the story and characters, the strong friendship themes as well as the connection to favorite romance movie tropes and plot points.

It wasn't my most favorite read though despite the fun, I think I just didn't really feel that Kat was a character I wanted to know, to cheer on, and hope for... Maybe it was just her, maybe some of the context was a little too silly to draw me in? There was flare and style in places but overall this wasn't a complete miss but it also felt at times I was pushed away as much as I wanted to be drawn in.

3.9 stars from me !
I liked: this was an easy going read, and held my attention pretty well. I enjoyed reading about Kat and Mick as they got to know each other as well as the fact that it was in dual pov. I’m a sucker for a HEA so that was a nice finish.

I didn’t like : Sometimes the main character Kat seemed to be a pick me and kinda got on my nerves at times. Plus, I dont mind when I book is predictable if the journey leading up to the end result is good. However, I found for me that there were times (since it was written in dual POV) where both characters were being completely oblivious to what was going and I was just like “seriously?”. I also feel that there was nothing that really stood out to me about either characters that really made me love them..

Overall, a pretty good to be expected romance.

Hedgehogs, Cockatoos, and Kolackies, what more can one expect in the moving and wonderful love story Too Wrong to Be Right by Melonie Johnson, book two in her Sometimes in Love series. This story was the perfect combination of sweet, smexy, and laugh-out-loud moments. This story is a whirlwind of emotions, love, loss, and family. Adding in a little bit of spice, it makes for a great story that drew me in, holding me hostage until I reached the end of the story, wanting more.

Kat Kowalski, an aspiring flower shop owner, has been dumped once again, and of her two best friends and their new relationships, she creates a list of qualities she hopes to find in a potential Mr. Right. On the same day her relationship ends, she acquires a pet hedgehog and meets Mick O'Sullivan, a lovable weirdo who is trying to fit in as he works with his siblings at the family's funeral business. Following their unconventional meet-cute over a dead body, these two quickly become friends. Kat was immediately attracted to Mick, but he’s so much like her past boyfriends, that she decides his brother Joe would be a better fit for her future. Mick will do whatever he thinks will make Kat happy, even if that means stepping aside. Mick was adorable and so sweet, with his Irish roots and mismatched socks. His laidback vibe, wanting the best for both Kat and his brother, was sad and heart breaking as he stood on the sidelines hoping this would make Kat happy.

Ms. Johnson wrote a cute, fun read that had me smiling and laughing pretty much from the first page. This must read story was very entertaining, with characters that were easy to fall in love with, sizzling chemistry, and secondary characters who were just as interesting as the main characters. With so many fun moments that included Jojo the hedgehog, the colorful vocabulary of Seamus the cockatoo, and the grandmothers of Kat and Mick, adding a colorful and amusing depth to the story. I highly recommend Too Wrong to Be Right to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

My biggest issue with this one was that one of the main characters works in a funeral home. That is a bug of a mood killer for a romcom, I found the book to be repetitive and a struggle to get through.

So many warm fuzzies from this book! I was surprised I liked a book that involved so much of the time at a funeral home but honestly it was really cute and fun! Kat is so precious and I love her (and Mick too!). I definitely recommend!

I thought the concept for this story was great. But the execution was lacking for me.

It felt disjointed for most of the novel. Skipping time but not in a way that flowed, as if it needed to hit certain marks to make sense.

The main character was self-centred and lacked emotional intelligence. It was difficult to read about her complaining about her life and her jealousy over her friends. I liked Mick as a character, and he showed growth, but the end of the novel was cruel to him. He was stuck apologizing for something when he did nothing wrong.

An ARC was provided by NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute romance and all the side characters, especially Seamus made it a fun read. The friendship and romance between Kat and Mick made sense and how it grew over the story worked. While it was a good read it also felt that something was missing in parts of the story and how it progressed. In the end I like how they both realized their emotions.
I would probably rate this books between a 3.5 and a 4 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing the ARC.

Cute premise for a book, but I wanted more from the story than I got.

Kat felt willfully obtuse, so focused on not having a repeat of past relationship failures that she completely misses that Mick was a complete catch the whole time. And not gonna lie, I felt like she pinned a lot of her hangups on Mick and that didn't really sit well with me.

Mick was wonderful - loving, open (for the kost part), funny, charming, that I couldn't believe that Kat decided that his brother was her Mr. Right. And while I can understand a woman needing someone to fight for her, I feel like Kat treated Mick unfairly during their big blow up. He didn't do anything wrong, and it was her issues that caused the row.

Not only that, but I just wanted more. It felt like the book took too long to ramp up so when we got to the conflict, it felt super rushed and unfulfilling. I wish the author worked to spread it out a bit more.

2.5 stars overall. Not really a bad read, but not the best.

This book was cute. Parts dragged on, parts were SO frustrating. The characters and their decisions definitely annoyed me through the majority of that book. However, I could not stop reading it. I could not put it down. I thought the story was adorable, the relationships adorable and their interactions actually made me laugh out loud. I just found many parts of the book to drag on and could have easily been skipped. Overall, if you are looking for a cute rom-com, definitely try it. A great escape from reality!

After many bad relationships, Kat creates a list of qualities for her Mr. Right, and won't date until she finds a guy who checks them off. When sparks fly after meeting Mick, she is determined to just be his friend. But as time goes on, she begins to wonder if they should be more than friends...

Thank you Netgalley for my advanced reader copy.

Alright, I think the best part of this book was the hedgehog and the cockatoo… Don’t get me wrong, the story was cute and had all the good rom-com aspects, but I never really fell in love with the characters, well, one character mostly, Kat.

Kat is understandably hesitant about getting involved with someone after a break up, but I just couldn’t help but feel Mick deserved better. He was a quirky, fun, sweetheart and deserved better. I also loved the idea of a florist and funeral home director/worker becoming a couple! I don’t know why but it just makes so much sense to me! I loved Mick’s family and how involved the side characters were.

My biggest negative, aside from Kat being ridiculously stubborn, is that I’m not here for miscommunication or love triangles. Pretty much an immediate lower rating for me.

However, I think that overall this is a cute read and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a quick romcom with a bit of spice.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the complimentary copy of this e-ARC. All opinions are my own.

This was an easy, light read. I enjoyed the story and the chemistry between Mick and Kat. It was a bit slow for me and repetitive, but overall, it kept me hooked enough to finish it in one sitting. I really connected with Mick and how he was willing to give up his own happiness to allow Kat to be happy. I loved watching him stand up for himself and realize his worth. I think I enjoyed the side characters more than anything because they all had me entertained and laughing. Overall, I enjoyed this book and am very grateful for NetGalley for giving me a chance to review it.

One star off for her I’m-too-hot pity party and pretending this cinnamon role is an asshole. Despite a few flaws in the story, I actually loved this book! I enjoyed every character, well, maybe save Joe, and appreciated how they each fit into Kay’s story, I will read more from this author.

Oh this book was a breath of fresh air! A string of bad relationships, a list of “right guy” qualities, and friends to help along the way. The characters were all so well developed, as well as the relationships between them. Not one brother but the other? Oh the dilemma! I enjoyed this book and read it very quickly!

This is the epitome of a meet disaster. Mick and Kat were quite cute but I did want to shake them the whole time and just make them kiss. Like she was adamant to keep Mick a friend even though he was perfect and for no legitimate reason really. When a main character frustrates me it's a huge turn off. I still finished this book and found myself smiling more often than not. I would defiantly recommend this to most readers.
