I really thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the suspense it had and the mystery it had. I do think the enemies-to-lovers aspect wasn't very serious for enemies. I do agree with grumyxsunshine trope. I think there was a little bit of insta love in there and I do wish their journey before being together was drawn out a little longer. I did like that there was a good amount of talk about chronic pain. I will be honest I didn't like the way Elijah was in the beginning it was very rude to her space and not very understanding. I did enjoy the way the 2 perspectives were told and how we got to see both sides. I will say some things were unrealistic. This is a spoiler!! I didn't understand why all the time she never went to the police or something about the rose and why it seemed like she got mad he wanted to figure that out. I felt like there were some parts of the relationship also unrealistic. I don't believe a landlord would just let someone move in with someone especially when 1 is a woman and 1 is a man without discussion. Other than I would say give this book a try if you like reverse grumpy sunshine and instalove with a little bit of enemies to lovers.

When I read the synopsis of this book I thought it would be another cute romance book and I was looking forward to it. While it was definitely cute and had a great romance the unexpected suspense and creepiness that simmered below the surface really pulled the story together. At almost every big event there was a layer of creepiness that kind of freaked me out yet kept me on the edge of my seat. This book was a great combination of romance and mystery. The writing was great and I couldn’t find any typo’s which is great since that usually distracts me from the story. In the beginning I did have some trouble getting into it and felt like it was moving a bit slow, but from about a quarter into the story it moved so fast I felt like the events took a few months even though it was only about a month. I’m very glad I read this book.

Ms. Perfectly Fine was more than perfectly fine. It was a good book. The dive into chronic pain could really help someone that suffers from that. I also enjoyed the humor and the dog!

I’m back again with an ARC I recently received, which I have to give a big thank you for. Unfortunately, I have to start by saying this book wasn’t for me. It’s a book that put me in a reading funk, and took me FOREVER to finish. The story follows Autumn, a famous concert pianist. She is trying to make a comeback after a traumatic accident and can’t afford any distractions. Of all the things to go wrong, she didn’t expect her landlord to rent out her ground floor to someone. As days pass, Autumn makes a lot of effort to get him to leave, which makes him want to win her over. And you know where it goes from there.
The story is slow paced, and even though it’s marketed as an enemies to lovers, it didn’t read that way. Elijah never dislikes her. While I enjoyed having a character with chronic pain, and reading with her struggles with that. I didn’t really like the add in of the stalker/mystery. I felt like it was unnecessary, and I could have done without it. Overall, I was not a big fan of this one, and would unfortunately tell you to skip this one. 2.5⭐️s.

I really liked this book!! I loved the writing!!! The two main characters were written perfectly. Im so glad that I got to read this book!!!

Thank you to NetGalley for giving this ARC, and this fluent influence my review. The tropes pulled me in, and this didn’t disappoint! Read it!!!!

This book was a nice and cute story, but there was something holding me back from liking the entire novel itself.
Autumn Alder and Elijah Wells are forced to live together because of a landlord's greediness. Autumn and Elijah both refuse to give up the house and try to work things out.
Their arguments quickly turn to flirtatiousness at an alarming rate.

Dare I say it was almost an insta-love situation between Autumn and Elijah.
I don't mind this trope when it's done well, but unfortunately, the way the characters fell head over heels in love with each other in a short amount of time AFTER constant bickering with one another.

Their fairy tale ending was sweet and fluffy, but it was just too unrealistic for my taste.

A romantic suspense that features a concert pianist and a gaming developer. Autumn was in a tragic accident years ago that left her to manage chronic pain daily. She has retreated from the spotlight since the accident and death of her best friend but now she’s ready to take on a solo performance again. Her routines are interrupted when Elijah moves in to the home she rents. At first the two butt heads and can’t seem to agree on anything. But as time goes on, the pair start to realize maybe they can get along and not only live in peace but also help each other out. Once Elijah finds out about the roses being left for Autumn, his concern for her safety increases. Once the giver is revealed, Autumn’s safety is even more in danger. A good enemy to lovers story with a bit of suspense.

It's actually a nice and sweet story, but i really just can't immersed into it no matter how much I wanted to.

Every girl wants an Elijah in her life. But, more than anything, we need someone to make us remember we don't have to be 'perfectly fine' all the time. That's why I enjoyed this book so much.

I was so so excited about this book based on the synopsis, but I just never quite felt the click with it.

I truly TRULY wished I could love this book, maybe expectations were just too high, but it all felt flat. the dialogue’s a bit clunky and unnatural, I think the easiest way to explain it is that these characters are having like, full sentence conversations with each other all the time - it doesn’t actually mimic speech, which is just something that annoyed me

I didn’t really ship Autumn and Elijah, it felt a bit too forced for me and I couldn’t feel the chemistry. I’m not sure if this is classified romance, but this and the main plot just felt so disjointed, like, Elijah’s just *there*. I didn’t feel like it bought that much to the story.

main plot wise, it’s fun? but felt very anti climatic, especially when the reveal was done. I know this is all fiction and stuff, but it’s just doesn’t feel *real*. like drama for the sake of drama but it adds nothing to the plot. I didn’t feel like autumn had that much character development, I dunno, it just felt off

thanks netgalley for an earc in exchange for an honest review

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an E-ARC in exchange of an honest review.

This book really wasn't for me. The premise was interesting, the characters were alright but they fell in love two soon. It's like they were just forced to live together, became roommates and then immediately feel in love.
The creepy gifts and messages that Autumn received could have been really interesting but it was just too much happening.

Actual rating 2.5⭐️

This book caught me by surprise. I picked it up thinking it would be a very generic rom-com, but it ended up having so much more to the plot. The two main characters had very fun relationship with a rocky start, but a tender and beautiful ending.

I did feel, at times, like the plot progression was clunky. While I appreciated the flashbacks from the fmc, they caught me off guard at times and I felt unsure as I was reading where the plot was headed.

thank you for providing me with an ARC!!!

the book started off very cute and was a lot of fun but I could not really connect with the characters and I am sadly not a fan of insta-love...

This book was cute! I didn't fall in love with the writing style (too much tell vs show) but overall it was a good book

Autumn, a talented pianist and sufferer of chronic pain, is forced to live with Elijah when he rents part of her home, unbeknownst to her. They have to get along with each other, and then make sense of their feelings. In the midst of all of this, Autumn is also receiving creepy gifts and messages to her.

While I ended up enjoying the characters, initially I was turned off by Elijah's intrusiveness and disrespect for her space, belongings, wishes, etc. I also wish there was a little more to the plot explaining what the characters noticed in each other that they liked.

Tropes you'll find: he falls first and harder, forced proximity, enemies to lovers,

Ms. Perfectly Fine

I requested a digital advanced readers copy from NetGalley and Kate Callaghan and providing my opinion voluntarily and unbiased.

My Thoughts: Autumn moved into this house as a way to become independent after a tragic accident left her with chronic pain. She is a famous concert pianist looking to make a big comeback. Unbeknownst to her, her landlord (and friend) rented out half of the house to Elijah Wells. Autumn refuses to move out and Elijah is just as stubborn. This novel has romance, romcom, and even a little suspense sprinkled in. It follows the tropes of forced proximity, enemies to lovers, and grumpy v sunshine. The author does a good job representing chronic pain, I suffer with chronic pain in both of my feet and have had a few surgeries with some relief but still suffer daily.

The story is narrated by both Autumn and Elijah and we get mini flashbacks for Autumn and her tragic accident. Autumn is strong, independent, introverted, and fierce. Elijah is pining head over heels for Autumn, extroverted, and is trying to make something of himself. The author does an amazing job at mental health representation and does it respectfully with grace. The characters were well developed with depth, witty banter, chemistry, and intriguing. The author’s writing style was complex, suspenseful, swoony, twisty, and creatively blended romance with suspense. I thought the pacing and flow was spot on and built the appropriate tension for the suspenseful part of the story.

This was a cute story that keep me glued towards the end with suspense. Overall, this was a great book that I enjoyed. I would highly recommend picking up.

What a great read! I thought it would be some usual story with that same stuff but it wasn't! I literally didn't want it to finish but it had to one day. 🙂

- Romance with some mystery and thriller! Ohhh, it's one of my favourite combinations! It had all I could ask for in a book of this genre.
- Loved the chemistry between the main characters. They felt so realistic. Miss their cute fights!
- Brinkley and Todd have my heart. (and those scenes when they got into the house for the first time 🤣)
- The mystery was good though I predicted it long ago. But some things are still unclear, eg - that phone call from Autumn when Elijah was in his mother's house.
- We got to see the relationship between Elijah and Tim. But why Autumn's parents were only in one episode? (that's too only her mother) I wanted to see her bond with her family, specially her father but we didn't even get to hear from him once.

But my love for this book is way too much that I can easily forget the things I dislike.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a free e-book of the book.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a book I requested based solely on the cover. I’m slowly working through my backlog of ARCs (SORRY AUTHORS 💀) and this was one that has been a long time coming.

Ms Perfectly Fine - also known as Autumn Adler - is a concert pianist with a tragic backstory. After surviving a stage collapse in her youth, she’s coming back to the stage and wanting to prove to everyone that her past is behind her, and that she can still play at the level people expect. Riddled with chronic pain, Autumn gets a rude awakening when Elijah Wells moves into her house. Unexpectedly.

But it’s fineeeee. Right?

Elijah is a game developer and also her landlord’s son. The two of them share a space and learn to work with one another. OBVIOUSLY, feelings happen. You can’t have forced proximity without feelings in my world ;D But the way these two come together, and their banter, GUH. It’s fabulous and I loved it.

There’s also a romantic suspense element because someone is stalking Autumn. I wish that element had been played up a little bit more - it was pretty sporadic - but overall this was a good read for me and I’m happy I finally got around to reading it!
