Rating: 5 stars

Speechless is a debut from this author, and a very beautiful story. It captured me right away.

Lucy and Henry’s meet cute begins on a plane (airport) involving the cutest dog Rowan the service dog. Something about it from the moment these two characters meet, feels so realistic and refreshing. They bond instantly, what’s the catalyst to this? He’s a composer and she’s loved his music for years.

This story isn’t just a typical rom-com; these two have been through so much in life, but I believe the power of music and fate, brings them together. Music after all, can heal a soul that’s broken.

Speechless has layers of depth and I felt the connection between the main characters as well as supporting (HAAAM). It was relatable and the found family it created within the pages were the glue that held it all together.

Speechless has dual perspective (which I love), mutual pining, author/composer, and endometriosis & social anxiety rep (which is so important).

It’s a beautiful slow burn that morphs from strangers-to-friends-to-lovers. And like a magical song that never leaves you, we get to watch it all unfold.

The cover is also amazing!

I loved this book and 100% recommend it. I cannot wait for more wonderful stories from Lindsey.

4⭐️, 1.5🌶️

This is the second Lindsey Lanza book I’ve read and it’s just as cute as I was expecting! This is an arc that’s sat on my kindle for too long but I will say I’m glad I listened to the audiobook over eyeball reading it - I loved Ariel Royce and Bryant Walker as narrators. Some of the accents were a bit off but overall it was a good 4⭐️ book! I enjoyed Lucy and Henry’s characters, and the chronic illness and mental health representation was done with so much sensitivity and respectfulness. It was a really nice friend’s to lovers romance overall.

Thank you NetGalley and Victory Editing for an eARC of Speechless by Lindsey Lanza. This is my honest and unpaid review.

Very nice read for everyone who loves a good romcom. If you’re wondering on what to read by the beach, this is the perfect book.

I LOVED this book! I read this in a couple of hours, I just couldn't put it down. The story was told with such care. I don't normally love a slow build-up, but this one was done just perfectly.

Unfortunately I just did not click with this one.

One thing I did really enjoy is the representation of chronic health and mental health.

Audiobook listen.
Would say physically read and skip the audio-accents and the male narrator imitating the female was very hard to listen to,

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of Speechless by Lindsey Lanza.

Today’s Jewish ✡️ Author Recommendation is the one and only @readwithli !

I picked up her debut, Speechless last week and loved it so much that I had to grab a print copy for my shelf - the kindle version is on #kindleunlimited and the audio is on @hoopladigital if your library participates!

I wasn’t prepared for how much I’d love Lucy & Henry and Lanza’s writing, but I can’t wait to read her latest, A Little Bit of Magic which is a Hanukah retelling and couldn’t be out at a better time!

This was a cute one. I liked it. Will I read it ever again?! Really do not think so. An average 3 stars read for me

The perfect book for lazing by the beach and drinking in the summer. I loved the opportunity to escape to Malibu.

It's rather heavy on the pop culture references, which I feel likely to age it rather quickly.

*NetGalley review*

I've had Speechless for awhile now and I had mixed emotions reading it. Parts of it I really enjoyed and other parts gave me the ick. Sometimes I liked Henry and Lucy together and sometimes I found them so incredibly frustrating. I did like how invisible disabilities were portrayed and how they approached infertility. I think I would be willing to try another book by Lindsey Lanza. It was cute and fluffy, but was just missing something in my opinion. Thank you to NetGalley, Lindsey Lanza, and Victory Editing for the opportunity to read Speechless in exchange for an honest review.

I was actually suprised at how much I enjoyed this book, because after the first bit I wasn't sure I would. The characters are written fantastically and the plot is great, so that probably why I enjoyed it so much. This book isn't just a normal RomCom, it involves a little bit of an emotional journey due to one of the main characters struggling with an illness. It's a quick read, but that isn't a bad thing.

Thank you to Netgalley & Publishers for access to an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The perfect beach read romcom✨💗

Thank you soo much netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced review copy if this book💗

Loved reading this one! Lucy and Henry's chemistry was off the charts. I loved seeing how they both supported each other in the best possible ways. They both had their insecurities and flaws, and the author handled those aspects with a lot of care.
Cannot wait to read more from the author! <3

So fun and spicy! My first Lindsey Lanza book and it did not disappoint! I loved the tension and the just simple moments that were written into this book.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A super fun and great summer read! A great story with a great cast of characters! Loved it from start to finish!

Nothing but glowing love for this book!! Lindsey needs to be snatched up a publisher soon, she has a unique way of writing characters that are absolutely enrapturing and easy to root for, while diving deeper into creating a story with depth outside of the romance and an appropriate level of spice. LOVE. 4.5 stars.

THE GOOD 😀

Henry Henry Henry. What an absolute friggin delight he was. Now don’t get me wrong, I loved the other characters in this book (maybe not all of them, see The Bad section below), however Henry just stood out for me. After a pretty rough start in life, he overcame it and went on to be one of the most successful music composers of his generation. And he was an all round sweetheart and simp for Lucy.

After experiencing an epically shit year, Lucy is moving across the country to live with her friend in LA. When her flight gets delayed, she takes a call from her friend that upends her plans. Enter Henry. Shy and anxious around new people, he immediately feels drawn toward Lucy and can’t help overheating the call with her friend. And this is where it all begins.

I have an epic amount of love for this story. Henry and Lucy were two vulnerable people that were so scared of putting themselves out there, they’d kind of closed themself off to others. One of the things I loved most was the gradual progression of their friendship to so much more. And the found family aspect with the other members of Henry’s band? Phenomenal. Lucy and Graham’s friendship was a thing of pure beauty.

I don’t want to go into too much detail for fear of spoiling this incredible story. What I will say though is go. Read it. Immediately.

THE BAD ☹️

Jack, Sarah and Craig. What a trio of nobheads. Not a fan.

Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of this to read. This is my honest review.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: Absolutely spellbinding story of love, loss and growth
STEAM LEVEL: 🔥🔥🔥
STAR RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a fantastic debuts novel. I liked that the author wasn’t afraid to dive deep into illness or mental health. You could feel her passion and care in her words. Also there was a dog so i was all in right away!

Really enjoyed this book especially the endometriosis representation. Will definitely read more by this author in the future.

This book was good! Fairly easygoing, and quick to read. I loved the growth with both main characters and I absolutely loved the friends/roommates! . From start to finish, it was charming and sweet, surprising and steamy. It made me a little teary at times and my heart bursting with hope.
