While easy to read, I didn’t feel like Signed, Sealed, Delivered actually delivered. There were multiple tropes in this book that should have worked, best friends’ little sister, anonymous pen pals, roommates to lovers, but all of them fell flat for me.

Nathan was a people pleaser who couldn’t say no to anyone, no matter how burned out he was, and that didn’t change throughout this book. Calla was bold and messy, and I did like her, but I didn’t believe her feelings for Nathan at all. There was a lot of internal agonising on Nathan’s part, which seemed for nought, and while there was no third-act break-up, there was a third-act car crash which felt unnecessary since the characters were already on their way to the plot destination.

So, while an easy read, this book didn’t work for me.

wow, 4 hours and a late night and I could t love this book more. I don’t think there wasn’t chapter I wasn’t laughing smiling or shedding a tear. I absolutely loved this book and didn’t want it to end. Calla was my sort of gal struggling but still finding Joy in life. Nathan made me laugh so hard he was so adorable. I loved them both together they were perfect. This was such a sweet happy love story which was amazing I haven’t read a romance book so full of happiness and love in a while would definitely recommend!

This is my third book by this author and I really enjoyed it though it had one of my least fav tropes (roommates to lovers). I felt like it was done well because it had an element of friends to lovers too and that’s a fav for me. I appreciated the deeper elements with anxiety and career path search- this did read more new adult because of the age of the characters but it was closed door (I don’t think it really implied any spice either though …. But it did have steamy kissses which makes me put it a step above "clean” romance). Fun characters, cheesy LOL moments, and another good one from this author- I do think I liked book 1 better but it was more from the tropes than anything. I also felt like the pacing was a little weird a times and I wish the letter writing had been done a little differently- overall I felt like the story could have been developed and refined a little bit, but I still really enjoyed it.

Thank you Net Galley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book!

This is the second book after Per My Last Email and it follows Nathan and Calla. It’s brother’s best friend, forced proximity/roommates, friends to lovers, and pen pals.

I love all of Juliana’s books so much and this was no exception. Calla and Nathan are now some of my favorite characters — the way they bring out the best in each other is just so sweet to read 🥹

This was also just so funny. There were so many times where I was giggling to myself at the witty things both of them would say to each other or think in their internal monologues.

This is also closed door but still has the tension and angst you want in a romcom and I just loved it so much!! I already can’t wait for Juliana’s next book. She is undoubtedly one of my favorite authors and I will read anything she writes!!!

4.5 stars to this adorable brothers best friend book. this has everything I love, dual pov, secret pen pals, forced proximity with being roomates, it was everything. I've waited for this continuation for months after reading the first book and it didn't disappoint. nathan and calla are so sweet together and I loved how they continued to make each other better. i can't wait to read more from juliana. thank you netgalley for the arc.

Could. not. put. it. down. I absolutely adored Layla and Luke but I think Calla and Nathan may be my new favorite couple! I loved the banter, relationships, conversations, just all of it really. Such a good light read and perfect for all readers! Juliana has once again aced another book! Thanks for letting me read it early! :)

just wow!!!! i finished this in 1 sitting and it was the most fun time I've ever had. i was physically smiling probably 6 times and giddy as heck throughout this. i never, and I mean never, have luck with fluffy & light romcoms. this hit all my boxes for a 5 star read. ps; this is a closed door, non-spice romance!

tropes:
- penpals !!!! god I love penpal tropes
- brothers best friend
- forced proximity / roommates
- friends to lovers

HE PLAYS THE PIANO FOR HER!!! HE WATCHED HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS FOR HER!!! Calla and Nathan are precious and their connection is unmatched. everything about this felt so real and authentic.

thank you so much netgalley for the arc!!

Penpals to lovers might be my new favorite trope. Full of Juliana’s signature wit, sugary sweetness, and off-the-charts tension, Signed, Sealed, Delivered is one you won’t want to miss!!

You’ll love SSD if you like:
- brothers best friend
- penpal romance
- practice flirting
- roommates to lovers
- coconut cake
- lots of flirty one liners

You have to check this one out!!
