I thought this was a a really cute book. It was a fast paced read. It was really enjoyable. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book early

Thank you to @netgalley and @stmartinspress for allowing me and ARC copy!

Kat works at a florist shop as a manager and lives above the shop. She wants to have a shop all of her own one day since she was a little girl.

Mick is an O’Sullivan and works at his family Funeral Home. His famoly, specifically his brother, thinks of his as a screwup and that he can’t do anything right. But that changes….

The two of them meet in an uncanny situation while she is putting on a boutonnière on a corpse at the request of his first wife.… and the craziness starts from there on out.

You’ll have to read the book to learn about her list of attributes she is looking for in Mr Right. And then let me know what you think!

I enjoyed reading the story of Kat and Mick and all the things they go through! Stubbornness on both of their parts and having to think through their wants and needs and feelings in their own ways

Friends to Lovers, Family, Meddling Sister and Grandparents in a Good Way, it does touch on nonbinary and being gay (not in the main characters but in coworkers but doesn't go into detail), Grumpy to Sunshine.

Super cute book! Quick read! Grabbed my attention from the first paragraph. Thanks NetGalley for allowing me to read this book early!

Cute story! I enjoyed the characters and dialogue very much. Unique and engaging story line. Enjoyable story!

Thank you to St Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the ARC!

Reading this around Valentine’s Day was so perfect because this book is an adorable romcom! It had humor, romance, and a fun group of characters, and I didn’t want to stop reading! It was a little predictable, but I think that’s expected with the genre and didn’t bother me. Absolutely recommend for a light, easy read!

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

Kat has recently been dumped and has decided to only date guys who are the opposite of her usual type. She meets Mick, who is definitely her type, so she insists on them being just friends.

Along the way, you meet some interesting characters (Ronnie, Laura, Mary-Kate), and we run into some ridiculous funny moments (getting drunk at a wake, Halloween karaoke).

Although this story had tons of sweet and swoon worthy moments, it was hard to get past how unlikable Kat was. On the flipside of that, Mick is this genuinely wonderful person who will do anything for Kat and comes across like a doormat to her. I also don't understand why the hedgehog was needed in this story as it didn't add anything to the story.

Despite my criticisms above, I did enjoy the book, as the writing was fun and light, which resulted in a quick read.

3.5 / 5 (rounded to 4)

After Kat was dumped by her latest boyfriend and inherited a pet hedgehog in the process, she decides to make a list of qualities necessary for her Mr. Right after too many Mr. Wrongs. Feeling a bit left behind by her best friends and their newfound loves, Kat has a spooky meet cute with Mick at his family's funeral home. 

Mick was the perfect guy from the beginning and they had instant chemistry but we weren't sure why Kat quickly put him in the friend zone. She didn’t stop and notice that he is kind and thoughtful with the added benefit of being attracted to him! Mick becomes a great friend to Kat and she helps him find his way in the family business. While Kat was a little bit frustrating and Mick was a bit of a pushover, the overall story was cute and entertaining. We didn't like the fact that Kat thought Joe was a better candidate than Mick just because he was more serious but she found her way eventually.  

What we liked:
▪️New friends to lovers
▪️all the side characters (Mary-Kate, Laura, Ronnie, and the Grandmas plus the pets!)
▪️Dual POV

What we didn’t like:
▪️Kat pursuing Joe (Mick's brother)
▪️Their break up was very abrupt & confusing

I liked this one better than Too Good to be Real! I thought Kat and Mick had way better chemistry, and again the story was written well. I have a feeling it’s going to be a struggle for them to get together? She‘s sees him as a friend and he is very interested in her. And while that’s ALWAYS what happens, I just don’t think I’m going to like however it unfolds. It’s moving a little too slow which is FINE it’s just seemingly isn’t going in the direction I want it to be at this point in the book…

And I was immediately annoyed with her and her friends? The way she was convinced they were leaving her behind because they’re now in relationships and her friends were like ‘yeah kinda’ ???

Again I’m rating it 3 stars only because I don’t actually think it’s a bad book! I just lost interest.

DNF at 40%

Thanks to Netgalley and SMP for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I received this book from NetGalley and the publishers to read and review. All statements above are my true opinions after fully reading this book.

This book is hilarious and had me laughing from the opening line. (cozy cock anyone?) 😅 I loved all of the characters. Our FMC Kat is recently single after her boyfriend leaves her and his pet hedgehog behind to follow his love show hosting dreams in Canada.
Kat decides it time to stop dating Mr. Wrong and sets off with a list of what she wants. Enter into the picture Mitch and his mismatched socks, oh and his foulmouth bird.

The chemistry is there from the start but Kat wants to avoid another Mr Wrong situation, place Mitch into friend-zone city. But as time goes on, connections get stronger and lines get blurred, maybe Mitch O’Sullivan is just want Kat needs after all.

This read is:
funny
engaging
lovable characters
light spice
finding somebody who loves you for you
feel good vibes

Florist Kat is finally ready to settle down with her "Mr. Right" - the opposite of the type she usually goes for. When Kat meets Mick O'Sullivan, she swears to keep things purely platonic and chases after his brother instead...

This romcom has it all: music, family, corpses, an adorable hedgehog, a cursing cockatoo, karaoke, and good food.

I loved this book. I was instantly in love with both Kat and Mick, especially with how much they both love their families and cultures. I loved their friendship and watching them evolve from friends to something more.

Melonie knows exactly how to incorporate pop culture, humor, and bizarre situations (Mick's family owns a funeral home, for goodness sake!)

The ending was a little rushed for me... I wish we had a little more time with them together and to wrap everything up.

Kat and Mick don't have a meet cute, and then keep bumping in to each other. They become friends and he doesn't check all the boxes on her list for Mr Right, but can her prove her wrong?
A great read, looking forward to more books from this author.

Abruptly dumped yet again after her longest ever relationship (of 6 months), Kat is determined to change her ways and find her Mr. Right. Will a guy who seems like the generic Mr. Right be the one for her... or is it his brother, who seems all wrong?

Even though most book romances are insta, I still want the "happily ever after for now" to feel somewhat plausible, if given some time. That wasn't the case here. Kat shouldn't be pursuing a therapist, she should be IN therapy to resolve her issues and figure herself out. This character's misguided thinking was just too much and this wasn't the book for me.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for gifting me with an ARC to review!

After her most recent boyfriend breaks up with her, Kat decides she needs to change the type of guy she dates. She makes this decision the same day she meets Mick, when she's delivering flowers to a local funeral home. Mick is the kind of guy she would date, but she becomes friends with him instead. Mick likes Kat but she explains that the guys she dates end up being bad for her and he's willing to wait it out. Kat's two best friends are moving ahead of Kat in their relationships and Kat is jealous. I found Kat's being aware of her feelings regarding her friends more enlightened than her dealing with her feelings for Mick. Regardless that Mick has shown her he's not like other guys, she denies her feelings and tries to force a relationship with Mick's brother, Joe, who fits her "new" criteria. Good read!

Too Wrong To Be Right is a fabulous romantic comedy .
The only consistent factor in Kat’s life is her weekly get together a with her best friends and visiting her grandmother . Just when she feels like life is great her boyfriend breaks up with her for a chance to go on a reality dating show and leaves her with a pet hedgehog .
Just as Kat swears she isn’t going to fall for a certain type of guy she meets Mick while working and as much as she tries she can’t help being drawn to him .
This is a cute quirky story that will have you laughing all the way until the end . Thanks Netgalley and Publisher for a copy for my honest opinion.

So, so fun! Kat is feeling defeated by continually attracting the wrong men in her life. Now with a list of perfect qualities to look for, she's ready to finally meet her Mr. Right.

The hilarious meet-cute was the perfect icebreaker into this romance. Kat being a florist and Mick the co-owner of a funeral home, it was such a clever mesh of two careers.

I adored Mick O'Sullivan, with his Irish roots and mismatched socks. His laidback vibe, willing to sit in the friend zone purely to see Kat happy, was too precious.

There's a bit of a love triangle. Mr. Right vs Mr. Wrong, you could say. And I loved it. It's one of those situations where I can acknowledge how frustrating Kat is at times; I wanted to scream at her to simply see how wonderful Mick is. But the chemistry and slow, slow burning tension made it all worthwhile. There's a great snowed-in scene, too!

The touches of friendship, family, and a salty cockatoo were the cherry on top.

I received this book as an ARC on Netgalley.

The story of Mick and Kat was a very cute one. I found the it was a little slow to start with but ended up being a very good book. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves a cute love story.

In the spirit of Valentine’s day, I’m kicking off the month of love with a review for Melonie Johnson’s new romance! ‘Too Wrong to Be Right’ follows Kat, a florist who is trying to change her fate in relationships. Making a list of qualities for her perfect “Mr. Right,” Kat sets off on a new journey toward love… until she meets Mick.

‘Too Wrong to Be Right’ is truly rom-com perfection. Kat and Mick’s meet-cute is superb, and their banter was hysterical. The side characters in Johnson’s story also lended a perfect hand and great humor to the romance. Although, my favorite characters may have been Jojo and Seamus, the pets!

I really enjoyed the Irish traditions and moments with Mick’s family and also Kat navigating her relationships with her friends when they’re all at different places in their lives. ‘Too Wrong to Be Right’ is a perfect novel to add to your romance TBR this spring, pub day is 2/28!

Thank you to @netgalley and @stmartinspress for this ARC!
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This book was okay! It wasn't my favourite. The beginning immediately through me off and I couldn't really relate to the MCs or get on with their voice. It was a cute read, but not one I will be gravitating to again.

sadly after about half way through this book I DNF it. It was just too slow moving for me and not enough character development was happening.
