One of my favorite authors, once again hits out of the park, loved this story. A full selection of trust issues, second guesses and finally finding the correct pathway to the anticipated end. I read some other reviews before starting this and wondered if something had changed, but not so, this read is great and JoJo is a wonderful addition to the pet linage included in this series. Grab this and enjoy.
Thank You so much for allowing me to read the ARC of this book .
Some of the highlights for me is that
- UK location
- Dual POV
- friends to lovers
- slow burn
This book gives us lots of self growth with the two characters that I enjoyed reading play out.
Tropes: strangers to lovers and friends to lovers
I was immediately drawn to this book because of its gorgeous cover but unfortunately, I found myself over the characters and the conflict halfway in. When we meet Kat, she has recently been dumped and has sworn off the typical guys she’s dated in hopes of finding Mr. Right. Enter Mick, who Kat meets in a meet cute straight out of a movie. Kat and Mick have instant chemistry but Kat believes that Mick is too her “old” type and instead convinces herself to pursue Mick’s brother which creates such a strange dynamic that I couldn’t get on board with.
The first half of this book was so fun but Kat’s pursuit of Mr. Right quickly became tedious for me. The third act break up felt so abrupt on Kat’s part and by that point I was no longer rooting for Kat and Mick as a couple.
2.5 stars
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this friends to lovers book. It was a quick read for me but a very sweet one. I enjoyed the characters interactions but wished the storyline was a little deeper.
This was my first read from this author!! A fun, quick friends-to-lovers vibe with all the rom-com energy as WELL as a cute little hedgehog and a parrot.
I wish the two main characters were developed a little deeper. I wanted to leave the story a little more invested in the two of them, but the story as a whole was enjoyable with a solid meet cute.
Thank you to NetGalley, Melonie Johnson, and the publisher for a an early copy in exchange for an honest review.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this eARC!
I can eat up a sweet, friends to lovers trope and I thought this book was written well. I liked the humor, the crochet penis in chapter one had me laughing out loud. However, something about the story just felt off to me. The characters, while I enjoyed them, felt a little underwhelming/underdeveloped for my taste and it was harder to stay interested in. That being said, it was still a nice story.
After her boyfriend of 6 months flees the country to pursue his acting career, Kat, finds herself single again as her friends' romantic lives move forward. She makes a floral delivery to a funeral home, where she has a meet cute with Mick, one of the owners. After always being attracted to the wrong guys, Kat friend zones Mick, while striking up a business deal with him and his sister Mary Kate and brother Joe. While determining whether her vibe with Mick is friendly or romantic, Kat also considers a romantic relationship with the safer brother, Joe.
Such a cute rom-com! Mick and Kat have such great chemistry, but this is a slow burn where friends question whether or not there is a romantic spark and if so, if the other friend feels it too. Despite the setting frequently revolving around a funeral home, and thus death, the story has a lot of fun chemistry and banter. Would definitely recommend
- Rom Com
- Friends to Lovers
- Slow burn
Sadly this book just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Isimply found that I couldn't connect to the characters which made it hard to stay involved and interested as the story progressed.
However, they author's writing style was wonderful and I fully enjoyed the humor .
Too Wrong to Be Right is a charming and sweet friends-to-lovers. It will give you all the feels and you will have a great time following Mick and Kat around.
I got about 20% in and had to put it down. It just seemed slow and neither of the main characters seemed to be very interesting to me. I lot of it was too cliche for me.
Melonie Johnson is a MUST read and must buy for me! I've loved her other stories and this was no exception! I had a bit of trouble liking the FMC but I was able to move past that. I love Melonie's writing style and her love stories. I can't wait to keep reading more from this author.
Too Right To be Wrong by Melonie Johnson is the perfect combination of comedy of romance. When Kat gets dumped by her boyfriend, she makes a list of qualities in a guy opposite her type in hopes of finding Mr. Right. Mick helps run the O’Sullivans funeral home and after a chance meeting Kat, enlists her help with a business proposition. It’s attraction at first sight, but Kat knows that he isn’t Mr. Right…or could he be?
I really he enjoyed the dynamic between Kat and Mick. They’re friendship was so enjoyable! The miscommunication trope is always annoying but I see it’s necessity to this story. I do love both character’s grandma’s and pets! The side characters just make for a fun story. Kat is a Rom-com junk in this book and loves romance novels so there’s so many neat references.
The only negative thing I felt was there was some repetitiveness to the story by the end but other than that I was enjoying it the whole way through. It felt like I was reading a Netflix rom-com with the vibe of the movie “The Holidate.” Which is one of my go to Christmas movies, so you can’t go wrong! I believe it’s referenced in this book, too.
A really cute read! If you are looking to read a cute rom-com this is the one for you. 100% one of the best opening lines I have read.
this was a good one from the start. must read and really enjoyed this from page one. I am loving this author more and more. Every book does it for me.
This book had potential but the fmc was too annoying for me. She had a list of reasons as to why she shouldn’t be with Mick but they didn’t make any sense. He was emotionally there for her the whole book so why did she think he only wanted her for her body.
I received an arc through netgalley.
Absolutely loved this book by one of my favorite authors. Kat and Mick are great characters with the added bonus of a pet hedgehog. I highly recommend this one.
Kat and Mick meet at a funeral home owned by his family when she’s delivering flowers for the deceased. After a near disaster is averted she realizes there is immediate chemistry between her and Mick but after many dating disasters she’s decided following her heart never works. She tells Mick she wants to be friends as she searches for Mr. Right and he reluctantly agrees. After they get to know one another Kat realizes that Mick is who she’s looking for but is she willing to risk it and find her one and only?
Rom-Com lovers this one’s for you!
Kat and Mick were a bit of a mess but honestly who isn’t. Overall a very enjoyable read! I have to say though Seamus stole the show and I am 100% here for it!
Kat is done dating jerks after her now ex-boyfriend dumps her. When Kat meets Mick at his family's funeral home in an awkward meet cute situation, Kat keeps Mick at arm's length because she is determined to find a guy that meets her list of what qualifies for a perfect boyfriend.
The premise sounded cute and while there are some cute scenes there were times when Kat annoyed me, and she seemed to set some high standards I did enjoy the scenes between Mick and Kat and seeing their friendship grow closer. I also enjoyed the scenes with the foul-mouthed cockatoo.
This was my first book by Melonie Johnson, so I wasn't sure what to expect from her work, overall, I liked this, but not as much as I was hoping to. Overall, this was a quick, cute read.
This was more of a 4.5 for me. I loved this book! It is a cute rom com, the characters (including the parrot and hedgehog) are so fun and witty. I loved the back and forth between Kat and Mick. I do have to say the beginning was a bit harder for me to get through but by the 3rd chapter I was hooked. I liked that this book had enough to not be the same as all other romance novels with the banter and storyline in it. Would def recommend this book to others. Thanks to St Martins Press and Netgalley for the ARC for my honest opinions
I loved the premise of the book when I read the description and was looking forward to read it .
Overall I’m really confused about it. And it kinda starts to annoy me when so many romance books tend to go for the love triangle and more so, brothers sharing the same woman.
That being said, the fresh elements of their career and the humour saved the day for me.
Did I enjoyed it ? Maybe 50-50 .
Would I recommend it? Yes but not because it was so wow , mostly because it’s a good story and one with many subplots to be discussed, especially if you read it for a book club.
