I just finished reading Some Kind of Blunderful by Livy Hart, and I’m so excited to share my thoughts with you!

This book is an absolute gem—hilarious, heartwarming, and filled with those perfectly imperfect moments that make life so relatable. Livy Hart has a fantastic way of capturing the humor and messiness of real life, and this book is no exception.

One of my favorite scenes is when the protagonist, Autumn Callahan, has a series of hilarious mishaps while trying to impress her new neighbors during a community event. From spilling drinks to accidentally knocking over a table, her blunders are so vividly described that I couldn’t stop laughing. But it’s in these moments of chaos that Autumn’s true character shines through—her determination to make things right and her ability to laugh at herself are so endearing.

What I love most about this book is the genuine warmth and wit in Hart’s writing. Autumn’s journey of self-discovery and growth is both inspiring and relatable, and the supporting characters add so much charm and depth to the story.

If you’re looking for a feel-good read that will keep you smiling from cover to cover, Some Kind of Blunderful is a must-read. Trust me, you’ll fall in love with Autumn and her wonderfully chaotic life!

I really this book. It's a fast paced, hilarious, romcom, romance. And I thought the author did well development of both main characters, she gave us a ton of awkward, laughs and horrible but oh amazing meet cute. I also enjoyed the plot and the way that she had both characters be attach in a loose term with other characters in the book. And I just enjoyed the way these two felt for each other and they're happily ever after.

5/5 ⭐️
3/5 🌶️

Now this is the kind of romcom that needs to be a movie!

What happens when you find out the lousy, but gorgeous, online date you just had turns out to be your dad’s new boss that he can’t stand? Not only that, but your best friends are also dating each other?

I fully enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I fell in love with Mia and Alex right away. I loved the character development of Alex and the way Mia had a big effect on that. Some things you can look forward to are slight enemies to lovers, forced proximity, lots of tension, witty banter, slow burn, and the spice was 🤌🏻 chef’s kiss 🥵

Livy Hart knows what she’s doing. This book had me hooked! Thank you to Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for the arc! All opinions are my own.

Livy Hart’s romances never fail to make me laugh to the point of tears. Some Kind of Blunderful was the romcom of my every dreams. A riotously good romance.

I loved this! I loved both of our main characters and thought their banter was so fun. the tension between them was deeelicious.

Blah I couldn’t do it. Sadly this book was not for me. So sorry. I just couldn’t get into the writing style or storyline.

This was a great weekend read and if you like your romances filled with giggles, laughs, and sighs then this is a romantic comedy that you don't want to miss. I love when a story gives a sense of how an enemies to lovers relationship would work, including the sparks and eye rolls as well as the secret glances and passing touches that I get to follow along with as their story grows and relationship develops. This book had all that and the spice was just right for me. The best friends, for me, were a stand out and made me laugh and cheer with them...total scene stealers. This is definitely a grown up story and the emotions and spice reflected that without being over the top in either category. A quick fun read that will leave you smiling at the end

I Volunteered to read an ARC of this from NetGalley and Entangled Pub

I love a good enemies-to-lovers romance and this one fits the bill perfectly. This story is funny and super sexy with a leading man who is just so nice and charming. It’s hard to believe that Mia would ever hesitate. However, he is technically the enemy.

This was so sweet!!! The story line was so good, the spice was hot and there was a puppy! I enjoyed Mia and Alex a lot! My only gripe was with Mia's dad.. I get where he's coming from but you are older and should be on the verge of retiring! He was so grumpy the entire book I was hoping at the end he'd at least be somewhat happy. Otherwise though I loved this!

Thank you netgalley for the earc in exchange for an honest review

A bad first date off an app turns into a bad second blind date set up by friends turns into “how do we keep running into each other?”
This one was fun, heartfelt, and easy to read. I adore Livy Hart’s writing.

Also some of the best cover art I’ve seen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 rounded up.


Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this! The writing was excellent, it easily played out in my head, with tons of laugh-out-loud, giddily kick your feet, and omg moments.
I thought Mia and Alex's story unfolded in an interesting way, where I was easily captivated to see how everything unfolded. Honestly, I was sad when it was over and have already purchased some of Livy Hart's backlist! Can't wait to read more by this author!
Thank you Entangled Publishing, LLC | Entangled: Embrace for the copy through NetGalley in exchange for a review.

I have come across a few enemies to lovers stories in my time, but this one definitely takes the cake as this is an enemies to lovers story that gets personal.

Some Kind of Blunderful was a great read! It reminded me of my favorite rom-com movies, and I loved this story and the characters so much!

Alex and Mia have an awkward and pretty bad first date after marching on a dating app. Both are relieved to go their sperate ways. However, they find out their lives are connected in other ways, and suddenly they see each other all the time.

I loved the dual POV and getting to see how Alex and Mia's mutual physical attraction slowly developed into more. They had great banter and chemistry, and it was easy to see why they fell for one another despite bad first impressions. I thought the story was well paced and fun to read with relatable and interesting characters, and I can't recommend it enough!

Mia & Alex meet on a dating app and their first date didn't get off on the right foot. But then they learn that their best friends are totally and disgustingly in love, so they're forced to spend time together more often than they'd like....until they're thrilled to see each other.

Where Mia has a wonderful relationship with her family Alex is just the opposite. I could have went without Mia and her father's fight at the end, but I suppose it just shows how protective parents are of their children...especially single father's with deceased wives. But I still didn't like him for a hot summertime Georgia minute there.

Absolutely loved the friendship's between Mia and Josie and Alex and Ezra. So supportive and fun.

Overall, this had some good banter and they had great chemistry. He was a little gung ho at the end there, but I didn't hate it.

I discovered Livy Hart when I got a Netgalley of Talk Flirty to Me and I LOVED it. It made me laugh, it had some spice, it had heart. I was thrilled to get Some Kind of Blunderful.

I will say, not sure I get the title. I get the pun, but don't really feel like there were lots of blunders throughout, but maybe that's just me.

Mia is a ball of sunshine. She takes care of everyone and likes being needed. Ever since her mom died, Mia has been the one to keep an eye on their dad, so she feels lots of feelings on his behalf, even when she only knows his side of the story. Alex was a hot lumberjack in a corporate suit grumpy character. His whole life had been about self preservation and has never been able to depend on anyone so it was nice to see him let his walls down a bit.

It was another fun read by Livy. I think it's safe to say she's an autobuy/read author for me. I have Planes, Trains and All the Feels sitting on my bookshelf and will have to push it up the TBR.

I LOVE a romance that doesn't have a third act break up!!! A third act fight/issue, sure, but an actual break up mostly due to miscommunication or lack of communication? Not here.

Alex and Mia are a great couple that I loved getting to read and learn about. They both have traumas and dramas from their past that bring in their own issues with their relationship but I think they handled everything well.

Honestly, the best part of this story was the number of times Mia and Alex just ended up at random places together and the way the both dealt with it. I laughed out loud more times than I can count.

This is definitely a spicy book and the spicy times were very nice. They didn't feel weird or awkward and sometimes in books, they just feel off but these were good.

I couldn't read this book fast enough. Livy Hart knows how to hook you. From her compelling characters to her immersive writing style, she will have you begging for more.

I went into this expecting a cute, fun read... and don't get me wrong, it was definitely both of those things, but it was so much more!
Mia and Alex's story took tropes we know and love like Mistaken Identity and Enemies to Lovers and gave them a fun spin, and the journey was excellent!
The spice, humor, and perfectly placed tension throughout this book make it a must-read for all rom-com lovers!

LIVY HART - SOME KIND OF BLUNDERFUL

REVIEW:

Our heroine, Mia, had several setbacks and blunders when it comes to relationships. After some egging by her best friend, she decides to give online dating a try and meets Alex. Whose profile, let's just say was more engaging and convincing then he was in person. After a disastrous first date, she hopes to forget their less than stellar date, when the unthinkable happens:
Their paths cross again.
And again.
And again.
This book was full of moments which made me groan and giggle, tender expressions and hot scenes.
Alex was a hard MMC to figure out, but I think Mia and him balanced each other out. They shared great banter, the build up was not conventional in the sense that they had a blunderful meet cute, which set them apart for a great while.
The longing and forbidden aspect of the story was thought-out, and I really enjoyed how whipped Alex became once he realized he's got something/someone to lose!
I think this book falls into the comedic romance category for me. There were parts I wished were more edited, re-considered from a structual standpoint, but I enjoyed Alex and Mia's love story immensely.

Livy Hart's writing sparkles in Some Kind of Blunderful! I really enjoyed Hart's first novel so I was excited to pick this one up to see if I continued to enjoy her work. I find Hart's style to be easily engaging, her plotting is clear, her characters are well developed, and her story is a fun escape and reminds be of watching a romantic comedy. Some Kind of Blunderful is a well paced romances that circles around the humor of dating hell and online profiles, so it feels relevant to today and how a lot of people fall in love. Hart then throws in some forced proximity, humor, tension, and some conflicting feelings to ramp up this entertaining journey to love. This book is a fun and enjoyable read that left me delighted and with a smile on my face! I would definitely recommend this novel to people who love romance's like The Hating Game and are looking for another author to explore!
