I enjoyed this enemies to lovers romance. I particularly liked that the development of the romance felt natural. I also really enjoyed the mystery element of this book too. I feel the mystery element only helped to further showcase the romance and allowed it to develop in the way it did. While I did eventually predict most of the ending I was definitely fooled for the majority of the book!

I also liked that this booked explored autumn’s journey to finding herself while also highlighting the experiences of people with chronic pain conditions.

I felt the balance between all the different aspects in this book were just right!

This may seem tiny to some of you but I know others will agree, I love when the book clearly reveals where the title comes from! Feels like a bit of a eureka moment and this book had that !

And there has to be a mention of Brinkley the dog because who doesn’t love a loyal companion!

This was an enjoyable read which i would definitely recommend to others.

Autumn Adler is a famous concert pianist that is making her comeback to the stage after a tragic accident. Elijah Wells is a game designer who is working on creating his own company. When Elijah moves into Autumn's place unannounced, the world she knew gets flipped upside down & they have to learn how to coexist in the same space. This book sucked me right in! It was such an easy read & you could cut the tension in the room with a knife. Parts of it felt oddly quick & I didn't love the mystery aspect at the end but overall I highly recommend this book. Also the chronic pain rep was so great to see.

Thank you Kate Callaghan & NetGalley for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review!

As someone who has read this authors previous books I went in with some expectations and I was not disappointed. When I saw she had written a romance book I was so excited because I loved how she wrote relationships into her other books. These characters and their personalities were so fun and lovable. They blended so well and I adored them from the first few chapters.
The addition of the suspense/ thriller element just made this plot all the better. It was like comedic relief in sad movies. There was just something refreshing about a romance novel that had substance to the plot apart from just character and relationship development. Although at times it was a little predictable that didn't make it any less enjoyable to see how we got to the ending.
While reading this book I found myself trying to figure out if there were clues in details mentioned early on in the book. The way the author dropped hints for how the plot would develop made the change in plot between romance and suspense a lot smoother.
The insight into the lives of those with chronic pain was also very well done. Showing how although it may not be visible to those around them, it is a constant part of life for those with chronic pain. Especially with how it changes people perception of them and how they are treated.
I wish this book was longer, but I also feel the pacing was perfect. The relationship development felt natural and the suspense of the roses didn't feel dragged out or rushed.
Overall this has become a favourite of mine and I will definitely be looking for more books with this type of suspense plot. I can't wait to read whatever book this author releases next.

⭐️2.5/5 - rounding up to 3

I thought I would really enjoy this book as I felt like it had a lot of potential and I’m all about a grumpy x sunshine & forced proximity trope. 2 of my fave tropes!

This was a cute, fast paced and easy read and I enjoyed the backstories of both MCs.
The banter between Autumn and Elijah felt childish at times and their relationship growth seemed rushed and forced.

The added mystery was interesting but maybe unnecessary? Like, a lot of ideas where thrown in but none of them fully executed to its full potential to give me that “oomph” that I wanted.

I received this book from netgallery and the author in exchange for an honest review

This is the first book by Kate I’ve read, and I definitely think I’ll be reading more in future. Getting plenty of reading done whilst I’m on break from work, so I managed this in about 5 hours 🤯 what a lovely romance story with some suspense thrown in - my kind of book!

You really feel for Autumn, and her journey through a traumatic life event is inspiring. She has a fire inside her - not to forget that Elijah adds fuel to that fire 🔥 at times I did think that the chapters were a little longer than I normally like but it was easy to get through them 📖

Ms. Perfectly fine was exactly what the title said--perfectly fine. Unfortunately, it was just that, fine. It was cute and had good moments but in general I just couldn't get into the groove of reading it and feeling like it was a slam dunk of a book. It was a bit of a struggle to read in general. I honestly thought the premise was so out there-- that her landlord rented out her house without telling her--that it just set the wrong tone for the rest of the book. I thought the characters were generic and just ok. They were likable but I didn't feel the tension or the connection between them.

2.5

Sadly, I didn't love this book:( I really enjoyed the premise, and it started off very good. The characters relationship was very entertaining, but at the end, it felt unnecessarily long and repetitive. The plot twists felt so obvious and weren’t very twisty, and I did not like at all the suspense part of the book nor the revelation at the end.

I absolutely love Kate, but this was not my favorite book by her.

Thanks to Netgalley for the e-arc.

Thank you to Kate Callaghan and NetGalley for the free ARC.
Ms Perfectly Fine is a romance/mystery that follows Autumn Adler, a concert pianist, and Elijah Wells, a video game designer, who meet when they are forced to share a townhome. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and unraveling the mystery. If you’re a fan of grumpy/ sunshine romances, suspense/mystery (not gory or too intense), I would recommend this book.

I thought this to be a very cute read! The story was eaay to get into, and it flowed really well which made me fly through the chapters. The romance was very sweet, and I was rooting for them continuously! However, there was nothing really new for me in this read. I really enjoyed it though, and can definitely recommend it!

I tried 12 times to read this book and I have not been able to get through it. Dnf at 40% and I will not bash it on my socials because it is not fair to the author

TOO FREAKING CUTE! I loved this sweet story and all of these characters! The romance was great and I truly enjoyed the read.

such a cute story, I really enjoyed it!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and netgalley for this review copy.

This was so freaking cute! I really appreciated the dual point of view from the mcs. I liked the mystery feel that it had. I loved the romance, I’m always a fan of enemies to lovers and when he falls first. I think my only complaint is that the climax of the story seemed a little extreme and forced and not realistic. Still great overall. I would recommend!

It was honestly a cute book but I don’t know why, I just didn’t vibe with it. It was super cute though!

Autumn has a tragic past, can she bring herself out of it? Elijah needs a place to live, but will he get too wrapped in old family drama to find a place?

This book was so sweet! I was able to put myself in the characters positions and feel what they felt. It was well written, and I enjoyed the relationship development between the two. With a twist, that I was not expecting, it makes it more interesting. Not just another romance novel! I enjoyed Ms. Perfectly Fine!

I loved this book so much! The banter, the teasing and winding each other up. But also the love and support these two show each other.

Their relationship moves fast (the book takes place over the course of three weeks) but I didn't mind. It was lovely to see them fall in love with each other and to see what each of them was thinking and feeling. The split POV really enriched the story.

Also, the chronic pain rep was amazing and how Elijah handled her flares, how he respected her and didn't pity her was amazing. I wish more people handled it like he did. The speech Autumn gave at the end of the book about how the world isn't built for those with chronic conditions really resonated with me. It made me feel so seen, so thank you Kate for including it.

The secundary storyline about the stalking was a nice touch! I figured it out before Autumn did, but it was very satisfying to learn I was right. And the drama gave the story a nice kick! I never read a book like this, romance/feelgood mixed with mystery but I really liked it and want to read more.

The only minus for me was how their innerthoughts were in cursive. That just doesnt work for my brain. But other than that I absolutely loved it, and I hope Kate will write more in this genre!!

For me, the most interesting part of reading a book is when you found out why the title is what it is. In this book, I found the meaning of the title from the beginning of the book, but that doesn't made my reading experience less enjoyable.
This is a cute palate cleanser after you read heavier book. It has enemy to lovers, reverse grumpy sunshine, forced proximity, and a little bit instalove. I think this book has more romance than another mystery thriller book.
Overall, i like it.

Love this cover😍
Really enjoyed the book!!!!

This was a cute, but not perfect read.

Autumn "Ms perfectly fine", a concert pianist, who had a bad accident, gets confronted with Elijah, a Game Developer who suddenly stands in her home and starts to move her furniture out. After a talk to her landlord, it gets out, that he rented the ground floor to him. He is okay with sharing the house, but Autumn doesn't want any stranger in her home and the haters-to-lovers story is born. But when Autumn and Elijah started to get to know each other better, the tension between them increases...

I enjoyed the book, it was cute, the suspense part was quite good, altough I wasn't suprised who the culprit was.
It felt a little rushed at some parts especially the romance and I wished there had been a bit more character development. My main issue was, that i couldn't fully connect with Autumn altough she is the female lead. That diminished the enjoyment about this book. But after all it was a delightful read and I definetly will pick up another book by the author.

The one, that had me loving the sass

Ms Perfectly Fine by Kate Callaghan ✨

I enjoyed it throughly and i am a dog person so i appreciated how a dog got a main part in having everyone wrapped around its paw 💙 the sideplot of a mini thriller was interesting. Not my usual cup of tea but it felt like it fit the story and it did not overpower the main plot.

Loved that chronic pain is being represented through the main character. I don't deal with her struggle and yet i felt i could relate and appreciated having read it.

A well balanced book with the growing relationship between Autumn and Elijah being in the main stage and loved how they grew to like and love each other.
