A sweet romance of the opposites attract trope. I liked both Ian and Rebecca. Ian is an introvert who struggles in his everyday life. Rebecca is a fun person, but feels lonely, her family doesn’t support her dreams. At first, Rebecca and Ian resent each other, but through the fun lessons they get to know each other and slowly fall in love. I really liked how Rebecca made the effort to get to know Ian, because in my experience people easily give up on introverts. The book also demonstrated the struggles trans people face on a daily basis. It also showed that your dreams don’t always work out how you think will do, and it’s okay, because you can have new and different dreams that are more comfortable to you. Overall, this was a great read and I recommend it to everyone.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of the book.

A sweet romance about learning to be yourself and to step out of your comfort zone. There were lots of laugh out loud moments as well as deep introspective moments about doubting and not believing in oneself. This romance is about following your dreams and being your true self. The characters and their experiences felt real … as if I already know them in real life.

Fans of enemies to lovers and hallmark movies will love this book. Spice level: a couple of chaste kisses and fade to black. Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for providing an e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

An enjoyable romantic comedy about two people stuck in their ways. Since leaving college two years ago to pursue a professional singing career, Rebecca has always felt like a disappointment to her family.

Fun Lessons is a touching story about learning to accept yourself and to value others for who they truly are.

This is an opposites attract romance. Rebecca considers herself the black sheep of her very accomplished family. A creative spirit with dyslexia, she's chasing her dreams of a career as a musician, not her parents' ambitions for a profession. Ian is a structured introvert. Off balance because his long-time girlfriend wants to take a break, he feels like he needs to learn how to be outgoing and fun.

When Rebecca learns that participating in a big audition depends on her learning an instrument, she strikes a deal with Ian. In exchange for him teaching her guitar, she will give him lessons in fun. As they move forward with their plan, they challenge and get to know each other.

I loved how Rebecca and Ian learn to value each other and their own unique personalities and skills.

Special thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for an advance copy of this novel.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for my ARC in exchange for my review. I honestly didn’t really know how I would like this one. It wasn’t exactly fake dating troupe but was more enemies to friends troupe. And I honestly felt that was the best for these two unlikely people. There was no heat, chemistry nor steamy scenes. The kissing scenes were lackluster at best. I really wanted to like this book since I liked both of the characters. I believe if you enjoy hallmark movies, you will enjoy this book. I needed more unfortunately.

Amazing book💗 gorgeous 🤩


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

Rebecca wants to be a singer. She signed up for a reality singing show and got in. It's her chance to make it. One problem was that she didn't see that you have to play an instrument for the audition. She doesn't play anything, so she has two months to learn.

Ian is the new uptight coworker. He is in town for weeks and is currently on a break with his girlfriend. Desperate to win her back, they strike a deal. He teaches her how to play the guitar, and she teaches him how to loosen up and have fun.

They just shouldn't fall in love in the process. :)

It's a cute and fun story, but also insanely romantic. :)

Such a unique book, I loved the plot, and oh my god the characters were so amazing!! I definitely will be recommending it!!

I read this book in one sitting! It was so funny, the MC's were likeable and the romance spot on. I connected with Rebecca and rooted for her. Ian was a great MC as well. The storyline was entertaining and engaging from the start. This was the first book I read from this author and I'm definitely going to read her other novels. Can't wait.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you NetGalley for gifting me a copy of this book.

Wow. This book was incredible! I absolutely LOVED Rebecca. Her personality and confidence was everything. And the fun lessons with Ian? So cute and funny at the same time.

It was easy to read, incredibly lovely and funny and I couldn’t recommend it more!

"Fun Lessons" is a rom-com written by Leanne Treese.

The story follows Rebecca Champman, a singer by passion, employed as a social media consultant in her aunt's frozen fish factory. Deeply devoted to her craft, her dream is to become a professional. Growing up in a family of doctors and lawyers, all brilliant graduates, unfortunately she never felt appreciated for her talent, but rather belittled. When Rebecca is selected to audition for a new music reality show, she is over the moon: this is her chance to prove that she can make it in the music world. All she has to do is pass the audition. The only problem? The requirements include being able to play a musical instrument. And she can't play anything. Which means she needs to learn to play something within eight weeks, or kiss her chance goodbye. It is in this situation that Ian Ledger appears, a sensitivity trainer dispatched for consulting at the company where Rebecca works. An extremely serious and introverted man, fixated on rules and decorum, definitely the opposite of Rebecca. The two dislike each other from the start, poking at mutually. At least until, after a series of setbacks, Ian ends up becoming her neighbor. It is at this point that he discovers that she needs guitar lessons and she discovers that he is skilled at playing the guitar. Ian is willing to teach her, but there is a catch. He wants to win back his longtime girlfriend, who has decided to put their relationship on hold because she considers it too serious and boring, at his sister's wedding. And he wants Rebecca to help him by giving him "fun" lessons. That sounds like the perfect solution. Rebecca will get the music lessons she needs to secure a place on the show, and Ian will win back the girl destined to be his bride. Done deal. Easy peasy. However, during the absurd "fun" lessons and hours of arduous music practice, something begins to change in their relationship, leading to unexpected developments.

I loved this rom-com so much! I found it to be a fun, light, sweet and cute read, able to make me emotional and laugh a lot.

The author's writing seemed to me to be sparkling and crackling, full of cheerfulness and liveliness. The rapid pace, accompanied by the presence of short chapters, kept me glued to the pages, inviting me to continue. It took me half a day to finish the book, just to let you know how much it absorbed me! I couldn't tear myself away!

I loved Rebecca and Ian, protagonists with both of their respective first-person povs! Rebecca is a singer by passion, working as a social media consultant for her aunt's frozen fish factory. Deeply dedicated to her art, her dream is to become a professional singer. Unfortunately, she has never had much support in this regard. Especially not from her family. Successful professionals, brilliant graduates, they never understood or appreciated her talent, trying to belittle her and force her to do something else. Rebecca is now used to, not to say resigned to, considering herself the black sheep of the family, with no college degree, no driver's license, no blazing career, feeling almost a failure in their presence, an inferior person. Her audition to participate in a famous singing reality show, besides launching her into the world of music, could also be an opportunity to redeem her in the eyes of her family members. I loved Rebecca! She is a cheerful, witty and talkative person, inclined to act on instinct and help others. A true ray of sunshine, whose brightness is sometimes obscured by clouds. Under the armor of her sarcasm, Rebecca is in fact often insecure and anxious, prone to underestimate herself and fall prey to discouragement. I really appreciated her characterization, her evolution throughout the book. In addition, I liked the way her conflicted relationship with her family is shown, as well as her great passion for singing.

Ian, on the other hand, is the exact opposite of Rebecca. A sensitivity trainer for a consulting company, he is a serious, introverted man who is fixated on rules and decorum. Engaged for a long time now with what he considers the woman of his life, at the moment their relationship is on a pause, imposed by her, because she considers him too rigid and boring. Ian is a character I really liked and in whom I found myself a lot. He detests interacting with people, crowded places, and the heat, and his ideal evening consists of sitting at home, alone, reading or minding his own business. Apparently arrogant and standoffish, he actually hides an extremely sensitive and generous heart. Ian has difficulty relating, struggles to be spontaneous, and this puts a lot of stress on him. However, for people he cares about, for people who have the patience to stop and look beyond the surface, he proves to be an incredible support. Poorly skilled with words, he makes up for it with his being a great listener, his attention to detail, and his small, thoughtful gestures. I appreciated too much his relationship with his family, which, unlike Rebecca's, is wonderful.

The romance that develops between Rebecca and Ian is something too cute and sweet! It is an enemies-to friends-to lovers that takes its time, leading to the two getting to know each other and talking seriously. Rebecca and Ian are different yes, but at the same time they are similar, stuck in complex situations, in conflict with themselves. Their mutual closeness leads them to help and support each other, to confide in and accept each other as they are. There is no spicy, the scenes are all fade to back.

The book features LGBTQ+ secondary characters with an intense story, which I enjoyed so much.

All in all, I found it a beautiful romance, very sweet, light and fun!

Thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange of an honest review.

Fun Lessons was a super cute; fun, endearing love story. The characters are well developed, the storyline completely entertaining and it was enjoyable to read.

Rebecca is a singer who needs to learn to play an instrutment for the music reality show. Ian, her co-worker, offers to teach her to play guitar if she helps him win his ex-gf back.

Love Rebecca and Ian together. Great characters. Both are great separately but perfect together. Very many funny scenes. Enjoyed it a lot.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

This was one of the cutest romcoms I've read in a long time. I found myself actually laughing at loud at some points. I also really loved that this contained characters who felt realistic and were dealing with real life circumstances. The characters were well thought out, complex, and likable. I recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, as well as goofy/cute humor.

While this is the first book I've read by this author, Leanne Treese is probably going to become an auto-buy romance author for me. I loved this book so much-I cannot wait to read other books from her.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

An amazing sweet and funny book . Ian and Rebecca are two strangers who meet first time in a bus and they end up sitting side by side . They both have the worst impression for the other . The next day they realise that they have to work together . Rebecca is auditioning for a singing show but she must play an instrument . Her only person who can help her is Ian who knows how to play guitar . So for the next eight week he teach her and she will make him be more ''fun'' because that is the reason he is in break with his girlfriend . What will happen when she falls for him ? And will he still want to be with his girlfriend after enjoying every moment he spent with Rebecca ?
