4.3⭐️

Juliana never fails to write the sweetest stories! Calla and Nathan were absolutely perfect! They had everything! Friends to lovers, they’re roommates!! And pen pals but they don’t it’s each other! Brothers best friend so it’s a little forbidden (but is it?? Cause Luke is the coolest cucumber in the world!!). I loved them and their sweet story!

I LOVED Nathan. He is the sweetest, most awkward, goofiest guy ever. It was painful watching him be so awkward around Calla, but in the BEST way. He was enamored by her from the second they met! And it was so endearing!! The poor guy was such a people pleaser, and he couldn’t stop saying no. And I LOVED that Calla was the one to finally stand up for him and be on his side. It was exactly what he needed!! I love a soft sunshine boy!

Calla and Nathan were a little bit of a slow burn?! The tension was fantastic! They didn’t want to cross any lines. Calla finally had somewhere stable to be, and Nathan didn’t want Luke to be upset. And they were both just trying to figure things out in general. But once they moved in together their friendship grew into something so special for them and that was so important for them! And then when they decided to give it a chance, they were ALL IN. Especially once they realized they’ve actually been friends for ten year and already have such a strong connection!!

I can’t wait to see what’s in story for the rest of the Wells’ siblings!!

Thank you to Juliana Smith, Netgalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!!

This book was very quirky for lack of a better word. It is a brother's best friend romance, which I usually like. I feel that the plot twist was anticlimactic and I wish it would have given more drama considering what it meant to both of them, it felt rushed. Also, you can tell Nathan was written by a woman but like not in a good way. It was almost too many feminine touches to his personality for me. I think it was a very cute romance but it wasn't my cup of tea personally. Thank you to Netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review!

I was so excited to get an early copy of Signed, Sealed, Delivered after reading Per My Last Email. I absolutely loved how the books connected together after loving the characters in the prior book. I also loved the penpal aspect and seeing their relationship evolve over time.

signed, sealed, delivered arc review.

release date- September 23rd 2023

“What’s your favorite thing about romance books and movies?” “The way the characters fit together so perfectly, even if they don’t see it right away.”

First off my rating is 5/5 stars!! I was in a slump for the past couple months but this was the perfect cure, Juliana wrote the most lovable characters (specifically nathan👀🤭)! I absolutely love the roommate/brothers best friend tropes and the mix of penpal trope! This book was everything I wanted and more, I know i’d love this book but I loved it more than I thought I would!!

“It hit me then. Spending my night in a dimly lit parking lot with Nathan Huxley, laughing so hard my cheeks hurt and stuffing my face full of Philly cheesesteaks, had become one of my favorite pastimes.”

I absolutely loved the writing style and how easy this book was to read! I flew through and didn’t want the book to end! I haven’t read per my last email yet but if you have you’ll see alot of Luke and Layla!! i will for sure be going back and reading their story too!! (you can read them as standalone but i definitely wish i read per my last email first so i got to know all of the characters better beforehand!!) I read baggage claim by her and loved it as well so I’m running to read the rest of her books!🏃🏽‍♀️❣️

"How do you do that?" "Do what?" I shrugged and pulled down the armrest to my right.
"Make everyone fall in love with you." “Doesn’t work with everyone. It took you a while to warm up to me, didn't it?"
"Trust me, it didn't."

this was such a cute cozy story, i was giggling and smiling the whole time, nathan and calla are the perfect book couple and i know you guys will love her book!! trust me, on September 23rd run to get this book.

thank you so much Juliana Smith and Netgalley for the arc and Juliana for writing such a perfect book!

Juliana smith writes some of the best warm, fuzzy rom coms out there. Truly.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered is the perfect follow up to Per My Last Email. It's fun, light, sweet, and most importantly (in my opinion) it's different. I don't know that I've read any rom coms like this one before and I LOVED it. Nathan and Calla are definitely a new favorite of mine,

Thank you to netgalley and Juliana Smith for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is such a cute and funny romance read! It has all the delicious tropes in it such as, brother's best friend, forced proximity, friends to lovers, slow burn. This wonderful romance also has no third act break-up. Calla and Nathan have amazing chemistry and it was making me giddy and giggly. I loved that it was dual POV. This was such a sweet and funny love story and I can't wait to read more by the author.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

Ok, Nathan and Calla. This book was devoured so fast! I love a good closed door romance! Can be read as a stand alone book even though there is another listed with this as a series! I couldn’t get enough of Calla and Nathan though! Thanks for letting me be an ARC reader!

I am not exaggerating when I say, this is one of my top romances of the year! I love Calla and Nathan so so much. Brother's best friend, roommates, friends to lovers, this book had all my favorites! Also, any book with the secret pen pal trope is automatically going to be a favorite! You've Got Mail is my favorite movie of all time, so anything with those vibes is incredible.

I also laughed SO much. I don't think I've ever laughed out loud this much while reading a book. Calla and Nathan are ridiculously delightful and the wit woven throughout the book made it so funny and enjoyable to read.

I also liked seeing Luke and Layla from Per My Last Email (which I also loved)! It was cool to see their story continue and where they have ended up

This was one of those books that I couldn't put down, but also didn't want to end. I'll probably have to reread it soon because I miss the characters already!

Thank you so much to Juliana Smith and Netgalley for the ARC. Signed Sealed Delivered will be out September 23rd so preorder now and while you're waiting read Per My Last Email!

Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC of this book!

This was my first book of Juliana Smith's and I was blown away at how adorable it is. I am a SUCKER for friends to lovers, so I knew I was going to enjoy this. Add in forced proximity and brother's best friend, and I am completely sold. I felt like this could easily be read as a standalone book, but it is the second book in a series (I will definitely be going back to read the first book!)

Calla just graduated from college and is in the job-hunt process when her brother suggests she moves into his old apartment that he shared with his best friend, Nathan. Nathan has had a crush on his best friend's sister since the moment he met her, but has made a fool of himself every time he's been around her. When she moves into his apartment, all bets are off and he desperately fights the chemistry he feels towards Calla to keep his friendship with his best friend, Luke.

This book was so cute and wholesome. I also loved the pen-pal plot line- it was such an adorable component of the story!

I absolutely adored Per My Last Email and have been hanging out to read Nathan and Calla's story in Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

Nathan and Calla both had their own career related issues to work through and while they were falling for each other, they were also writing to their respective email penpals for advice. I loved the sweetness of this book. This type of book is my happy, comfort read. A happy ending, laugh out loud moments, likable main characters with a group of fun supporting characters - you just want to give it a huge hug when you finish! I can't wait to see which couple get their story next.

There is no other way of putting this so here goes...

I absolutely fell in love with this story! Calla and Nathan are both very lovable characters, it seems yet again I've fallen for another Nathan in a romance novel.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered is actually the second book of it's set (which I didn't realise until I was half way through the book), but it doesn't matter. I understood all of the characters and took in the story well as a standalone on it's own.

There was never a dull moment in this story, it's concept is simple and sweet and yet oh so frustrating at times, but this is what made it the great romance book that it is. It is well written and also includes a lot of great humour and film/TV reference which I thought was perfect for these characters.

In all honesty I was expecting some spice in this book, there was a lot of well written built up tension but no spicy scenes, although it really didn't need any as it's a great cozy read.

This story was well rounded up at the end, however that doesn't stop me from wanting more from Calls and Nathan.

I loved this book so much I have every intention of going back to read the first book in this series and I would love to read more from this author.

This book was SO good. I had high hopes going into it because I loved Per My Last Email, and let me tell you it DID NOT disappoint.
This was a slowwww burn which usually I don't love, but I ate this book up. The Emails - SO CUTE. I couldn't wait to start every chapter so I could read the little emails at the beginning. I loved Calla and Nathan. I love a good brothers best friends trope and this one was just too good. With some forced proximity in here too.CHEFS KISS.
I couldn't put this down. It also was very much giving TS invisible string, which made me even more obsessed.

I don't know what Juliana puts into these books, but holy cow! Signed, Sealed, Delivered might justbe my new favorite book! Her books make me want to fall in love WITH love! And she never misses with the friends-to-lovers trope! (I eat it up every time). I genuinely have no bad things to say about this book! I freaking adored Nathan and Calla! (Don't tell anyone, but I think they might just be my new favorite couple).

Nathan is the standard now. The way he noticed the little changes Calla was making to his apartment and didn't even mind?! And the way Nathan feels more at home with Calla there with her little rugs, mugs, and plants?! Stop I might actually cry.

Juliana deserves all the love for thesee books! I don't think an author has made me feel more at home with fictional characters and their stories the way she does!

When I read Per My Last Email this past spring and saw that Nathan and Calla were getting their own story, I said in my review that I was pretty sure I would love their story even more than Luke and Layla’s….and I was right!

Calla is trying to start a new life after moving home after graduating college. She is working for her brother while job hunting, and agrees to move in with his best friend, Nathan, to live in a safe space and save some money on rent. Both think things will be awkward at first. Instead, their hobbies and interests align perfectly, and they become close friends who just may have feelings for one another.

Calla is outgoing, spontaneous, and big hearted, making her easy to cheer on. Nathan can be awkward and bumbling, but he is also incredibly sweet, good with kids, and an incredible friend. The care they show for each other as they establish routines in the apartment and the happiness they feel at seeing the other one happy is what love is all about, and it was a sweet friends to lovers/ forced proximity/ brother’s best friend story.

I loved the moments that were spent on Nathan’s job teaching kids to play music. Juliana must have played at some point or she is just a great writer, because those feelings of the music suddenly clicking and the student knowing how to play were beautifully written. I play piano myself and could totally identify with all the feels when it all comes together and a song just comes out perfectly. And I adored how happy it made Nathan to see those moments in his students and cheer them on, and thought it was a great part of this book!

This friend group is such fun, and I’m curious who we will see next! Crew finally settling down? Liam and Marigold trying for round two? Whoever it is, I’ll be ready to read!

Thank you to NetGalley, Juliana Smith, and Victory Editing Co-op for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The characters in this book were so easy to love, and it included so many fun romcom tropes! I found myself trying to contain my smile so many times in this one.

Calla moves back to her hometown after graduating college and is completely broke while looking for a job. Her brother arranged for her to room with his best friend, and former roommate, while she gets back on her feet. Calla is fun and spicy and such a likable main character! Calla and Nathan have the best chemistry and you feel invested very quickly!

If you’re looking for a fun, warm fuzzy, easy romcom, you 100% want to read this one! I couldn’t put it down and thoroughly enjoyed this novel.

Thank you for the advanced review copy!

Thank God, this ended. I couldn't wait for this to be over. I wanted to dnf this so many times but I held on, and oh what a terrible idea it was. This started out pretty great but about 30 pages in, this book showed its true colors. I don't understand why the author felt the need to add so many animal metaphors. Like I get it, Nathan is like a puppy, you don't need to tell us that on every page. The heroine was our classic 'quirky' FMC - I swear it's like the new "not like other girls"-, who doesn't have a filter, says whatever comes to her mind, eats cheesesteaks (I just felt the need to mention this because of how the author made this one of her personalities), and doesn't like working out, because of course she doesn't, she isn't "like the other pretty girls". She also calls her future employer, Angie (whose name is Angela) during the first phonecall because she's "quirky".

Thank you to Netgalley, Juliana Smith and the publisher for sending me a copy of Signed Sealed and Delivered to read and review!

Let me start this review by saying, who doesn’t love a good brothers best friend romance??
This book had me hooked from the first few chapters and I didn’t not want to put it down!
I love the characters and how cute this story is!!

Calla recently moved back to town, and she needs a place to live and a job to get her on her feet. Her brother offers her a job and also his best friends spare room.

Nathan is not only a total sweetheart you can tell he generally cares for those around him.
I loved watching their friendship and feelings grow through this book, its slow burn with a sweet twist!

I really enjoyed the anon penpals aspect and how each chapter started with an e-mail!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC copy of this book. All of these thoughts and comments are my own.

I think I may like this one better than Per My Last Email and I really loved that one.

This was so cute. Calla and Nathan are absolutely adorable and I was shipping them so hard. I loved their connection and how they acted around one another. I thought the plot was super cute and having them know each other for so long without actually “knowing” each other was so fun to read.

This book is super fast pace and honestly so cute and funny. I can’t wait to read whatever else this author writes because she pulls me in from the start and makes her books so enjoyable.

5 stars!
