OOOf I wanted to love this one, I really did. The synopsis had me hooked and I really thought it would be right up my alley. The writing just didn't flow, and the vibe was off. Ms Perfectly Fine was just...fine. I would read more from this author though.

It was a good book. I loved Autumn as the main character of the story. Totally recommend this one if you’re into forced proximity😍!

Sometimes you just need a cute, quick, fluffy read to lift your spirits, make you feel good, and help you escape from real life for a bit, and this book was exactly that! I'm a fan of Callaghan's writing style and will definitely be checking out her other books!

I did not finish. Not because the book was bad, it just was a little too cheesy for me. I may go back and read it at a later date, but that is unlikely.

3/5 stars...

I liked the characters, but I felt their relationship was rushed. I thought maybe I fell asleep while reading and skipped pages, but I didn't. I felt that Autumn and Elijah were interesting enough, although the mystery component was unnecessary.

The book gets a little steamy. It was what I would call a lounge by the pool read. It's not heavy by any means, but not super light either.

There is a lot going on here, which could be daunting, but the carefully created lead characters help ground the story - I really appreciated the 3rd person POV, as it is woefully underused in modern prose, and it helped me connect more with the story as a whole.The mystery plot was not necessary, but was done well.

Book Review: Ms. Perfectly Fine
Stars: 3 x 5
Author: Kate Callaghan
Publisher: Kate Callaghan

Autumn is a pianist who has been planning a comeback after recovering from an accident. She is very private. One morning she awakes to a perfect stranger moving in. Elijah is her roommate’s brother. Autumn and Elijah clash and become enemies and roommates. Elijah is very charming and he is trying to get is tech company up and running. Elijah also brought is dog, Brinkley with him.
The story is about how Elijah and Autumn are forced together starting out as enemies and slowly becoming friends and then lovers.

It was a sweet book but very predictable. They both find love in the strength of another with an everlasting friendship.

I enjoyed this book! This was a reversed grumpy x sunshine read. You’ll get some suspense too. It’s more like slow-burn book. There was a twist and turn I didn’t see coming at the end. You get Elijah’s Autumn’s POVs.

The only critique I have is the unresolved issue with Autumn’s parents.

This is my first book by this author, and it won't be my last.

Autumn is a concert pianist with chronic pain and a traumatic past, when a new pain in her backside arrives -Elijah.

Elijah is a hot games developer that moves into Autumns house, without her consent. They get closer and closer, and they fall for each other. All the while, there's a secondary part to the plot, the mystery of who keeps trying to remind Autumn of her past.

I didn't guess the ending, however I think this is because the author added red herrings to make you assume it was one of the characters.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading Kates future books.

This was a very cute romcom with a hint of mystery as well! If you love a he falls first, enemies to lovers, forced proximity and a bit of spice book, then this book is the one for you!

Tried to get through the first chapters but it didn't feel believable enough. Premise is great and cover is gorgeous

I do love a short romance book but in this case everything felt rushed. It went from enemies to lovers so fast it almost gave me whiplash. Eli was a golden retriever and I love that he fell first. On the other hand I didn't care for Autumn as a character. In most genres I am fine with not loving the main character but in a romance I need that connection. I feel that a lot of time was being wasted on information that did not add to the book. The suspense subplot was unnecessary. Not every book needs a crazy side plot and this is an example of one that could do without. I think that if the pages wasted on it were put into the enemies to lovers plot line the book would be way stronger because of it.

I like it.
BUT
I don't think Elijah should have just busted into her house and moved her crap out and fought with her about it. That is some nonsense I would have called the cops over.

When I look back and think about my reading experience for this book, i find it comforting. The humour in this book was humouring and that love was so in the air!

Picked this book for the mental health representation and it didn’t disappoint. Ms Perfectly Fine is in fact not perfectly fine. The messiness of it all and the big dark secret reveal tied together with the romance and friendship was perfect.
Spice level not too spicy, which is great for the balance of tension that is written. The spice that is written is done well and tasteful. This book had me running back for more, in a good way, and kept me up well past my bedtime to find out what happens next.

This book hits so many amazing tropes in one neat package. We love a sunshine man who falls first and loves harder than her. Forced proximity always makes the tension sizzle and an element of suspense brings out that protector trope. This has everything I love in one book-perfection!

Cute and engaging. I was most interested in the chronic pain subplot and thought it was executed well. Also, Brinkley was absolutely adorable and obviously should be the main character. A fun one with a bit more depth.

I liked this, but didn't love it as much as I wanted to. I think the fact that it was marketed as grumpy (her) x sunshine (him) had my hopes up, but they were easily let down when I started reading and did not see her & him as grumpy/sunshine. I did like Autumn and Elijah as individuals but for some reason I wasn't super connected to or feeling their romance. It was still a good book with really good chronic illness rep which was nice to see!

Many thanks to Netgalley for giving me this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This book was just okay for me, I didn't really fall in love with any of the characters .Everything felt so rushed and forced with the whole strangers to lovers, the book unlike it's title was just fine.

Thought of Swift every time I picked this book up! Definitely was a fun romance book. I like reading about characters that have jobs you don't see in your immediate circle in the real world. Sometimes you just like the female character so much more!
