Forgot I had an eARC from NetGalley, and I signed up to ARC read book 2… oops! Better late than never!

This book was easy to read, but the story didn’t really work for me. I didn’t really find the characters believable; there’s jealousy and insecurity, after the breakdown of a long relationship that is understandable. But I didn’t enjoy the stream-of-consciousness style of the story.

Thank you Netgalley for this book in exchange for a review! I enjoyed this book, I absolutely love second chance romance trope so I was super excited to pick this book up! There is a lot of spice, but not enough chemistry between the characters in my opinion. I didn’t feel super connected with the characters, but overall I still enjoyed this read and I was excited to jump in and give a review!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

"The Seven Month Itch" by Tanvier Peart offers an interesting premise, but it struggled to maintain my interest. While the characters are well-crafted and the dialogue is engaging, the plot felt predictable and lacked the tension needed to keep me invested. The story overall did not captivate me, leading to a two-star rating.

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da ich es aufgrund relativ kurzer Ausleihdauer (ohne Verlängerung) nicht lesen konnte.

I don't usually LOVE second chance romances but The Seven Month Itch was a banger. Fun, fast, and angsty this was the perfect romance novel!

This was a great book. I connected with the characters. I felt engrossed with the plot. I would read another book by this author.

Loved it! This was a really interesting story! I really related to the main character!! Can’t wait to read more of the authors work

This book did not draw me in.

I thought the characters fell flat. The main character was hard to like. She had a habit of jumping to conclusions.

There was SO mist going on that I really didn’t know what the plot was.

Terence and justice are college sweethearts who got married and are now having a hard time. They don’t address their problems. The FMC runs away real quick when things get hard.

They made it hard to root for them because there just wasn’t enough story for me to be invested in them.

Second chance romance is my favorite trope. But this fell flat all around.

I was not a fan of this story. The miscommunication troupe is not my favorite and the fact that this couple has been together for.so long and still has petty squabbles rubbed me the wrong way. It seemed the friends were more invested in the relationship rather then the couple the story is about. The whole thing felt very juvenile.


Thanks to meatballs for the ARC

I thought this was a good read, with real feeling characters and although it took me a little bit to get into it, it was a good read!

thanks NetGalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for a review! full disclosure, i did end up DNF'ing this title a little under halfway through the book. I thought the dialogue between the characters felt immature for their age and their previously established relationship. I loved the premise of this book and would be open to try another book from this author should they write another, but unfortunately this one was not for me. congrats to the author for publishing a book; that is something I will always commend!

I started this one a few times but the book did not hold my attention at all. I heard many people loved this book so probably only I have a problem with it :(

Oh, man! Terrence might need to be my book husband. Good Lord! Every time he spoke I felt his sexy timber running through me. Between that and the physical descriptions, I was dying! 🥵 I wanted to be mad at him for all the ways he failed Justice before their separation, but there are just too many redeeming moments. I loved every bit of this novel: gorgeous winter setting with a touch of Hallmark Christmas ✔️ sassy, take-no-sh*t FMC ✔️ devoted sex-positive bestie ✔️ ride-or-die friend group ✔️ serious sexual chemistry ✔️ and a love story that survives the darkest times ✔️. Truth be told, I was tearing up just reading the quote at the beginning: “You’re never too much for the one who can’t get enough.” 🥺 Trust when I tell you I went through ALL THE EMOTIONS with this one several times over. Tanviert Peart is going to my auto buy list.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

I'm waiting for this to be a hallmark movie! Her best friend takes her into a singles retreat and who shows up, her estranged husband. Who she does still love! I adored this second chance romance!

Thank you NetGalley for the read in exchange for an honest review. I really tried to enjoy this book but I just don’t think it was for me. I am not a fan of the miscommunication trope. Personally, I don’t understand how a couple that’s been in a relationship for as long as Justice and Terrance were in would have zero communication skills. Every single character bothered me. This is supposed to be a romance, maybe a rom-com, but it had so much spice that it didn’t feel as romantic. Justice and Terrance were either having sex or fighting… over and over again. The characters are all 30+ years old so it was really weird to me when there were characters talking and acting like teenagers. When I got to the epilogue and there was a jump in time, I was excited to see where all the characters were in the future (hoping for lots of growth) and it just had to be thrown in there but there’s Justice and Terrance going at it at their friends’ wedding. The amount of times I read about pop culture references or about Hallmark movies made me feel like that was the entire inspiration - unfortunately I don’t like Hallmark movies. I’m glad everyone had a happy ending at least. I’m also grateful to have been given the opportunity to read this author’s first work.

Hmmmmmmmmm... well I am a long time hater of the miscommunication trope. Liked the premise, but did not execute well for me. I was hoping for a cute second chance romance, but ended up hating the characters.

The spice was SPICY. The plot- brilliant. The writing style- incredible. The ending- we love to see it. I felt like the characters were very relatable and the situation with their relationship is something that could easily exist in real life. The conflict stressed me out in the best way, and I had a hard time putting it down. What a great read.

I feel like the book started out with potential, but I actually did not finish it. The mechanics & storyline were solid, it just wasn't the right fit for me. That doesn't mean it won't be the right fit for someone else :)
