Everly is obsessed with Monterran royals, especially with Queen Katerina “Kat.” She looks up to Kat and thinks, “What would Kat do?”.

Everly and Max hit it off instantly and had great chemistry between them, which resulted in a strong friendship. The royal theme of the book was enjoyable. I appreciated Everly’s character growth throughout the story. Although the romantic development between Everly and Max was slow, it was still satisfying. However, the standout character for me was Vella, Everly’s best friend and roommate. Vella is the best thing that happens in the book; she is funny and straightforward.

Everly struggles with insecurities and often speaks negatively to herself, leading to an overwhelming inner monologue. It’s frustrating that she allowed Adrian to treat her poorly, but she wouldn’t believe that Max has genuine feelings for her. The plot felt dragged out due to excessive descriptions. Additionally, the epilogue didn’t feel convincing enough.

I would have enjoyed this book if Everly wasn’t so insufferable.

This was such a super sweet story. The main couple is adorable but the highlight is the best friend/roommate. Definitely pick up when you want a pick-me-up.

I received an ARC from Netgalley and the publisher.

I really wanted to enjoy this book, but unfortunately, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The story didn't seem to start at the right point, which made it feel slow and uneventful. Additionally, the main character, Everly, is extremely insecure and lacks any real depth, making it difficult to understand why Max would fall for her. Furthermore, the characters in the book felt very unrealistic and hard to relate to, which detracted from my overall enjoyment of the story.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for the eARC

I WILL READ ANYTHING SARIAH WILSON WRITES.

I loved this book, it kind of reminded of an another book I read and I also absolutely loved that book. If you like to read a light fluffy, books similar to Lynn painter and Sarah Adams. Then you have to read this book.

Party Favors was a quick light read following a party planner with a certain adoration for the royals.
This had its charming moments and was a sweet happily ever after. Read to swoon!
Thank you NetGalley!

I was initially drawn to read this book due to the cute cover and synopsis, but unfortunately I’m DNFing at 32% in. The storyline just seems too unfocused. Between the crush on the boss who overworks her, the new love interest, and planning a big event to prove that the main character is worthy of promotion, I feel like it’s taking too long for things to move in any direction. I’m having trouble connecting and caring to continue to read on. I may revisit it at a future date but for now I’ve lost interest.

Party Favors was definitely not my favorite book by Sariah Wilson - but it was still a cute read. I thought that the story of Max and Everly was romantic and I'm a sucker for a HEA, but I didn't like the choices that either of them made throughout the book. I felt like yelling at the all the stupid stuff they did. While I enjoyed the story, the ending wasn't that great and seemed unrealistic. 3.5 stars for me.

I tried my best to enjoy this book, but unfortunately, it failed to capture my interest. The plot was not compelling enough to make me want to continue reading beyond the first 25% of the book, and I struggled to connect with the characters, except for Vella Everly's roommate who was the only highlight of my reading experience. Additionally, I found Adrian, Everly's boss, to be childish. The whole Monterran prince theme was weird. I only just met Nic so can't give my full impression of his character. While there were no issues with the author's writing style, the story and characters just weren't to my liking. Of course, not every book can be loved by every reader.

I will not be leaving any reviews on this book on any other platform.

This is a very sweet story and I liked the arc of the main character. Her development was something that I was praying would happen since I was annoyed at how she let other people treat her, however the end result was very satisfactory.
I Love that Max is a gentleman and that he has a dog, extra points for that.
Both of them are really funny and it’s great that they have a good sense of humor. The chemistry between them was instant but thankfully, it didn’t feel insta love. I honestly thought that the most I was going to get was a chaste kiss, and while nothing was too graphic, they do have passion and it was fire.
The self awareness of their psychological issues is not something that I see very often in books and I appreciate it. Considering that this was on the table already, their changes made more sense in the story.
My favorite character: probably Vella, she is the funniest one. Also, their friendship is highly moving as both show the depths of it. Love to see female friendships.
The only down part I found was him messing with her fears. I understand that she managed to get through it but it would be a deal breaker for me. No questions asked.
The revelation of the mystery was not what I thought it was going to be, and I’m not going to lie, I was a bit let down by it. But overall, I liked the story.

Everly is a doormat in love with her boss. But when a chance meeting with gorgeous Monterran Nick at a bar, her life is suddenly all change. I must say, although April as a character does improve as this book progresses, I overall couldn't stand her. Half the time I just wanted to shake her! A rare miss from Sariah Wilson.

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

Sariah Wilson books will always make you smile and feel good and party favors was no exception.

I really love how with her books there's this cozy element where the romance gives you warm and fuzzy feels. you will always feel happy after reading a book by her. This book and romance was just so sweet. It has the friends to lovers element with delightful characters and side characters that are funny and hilarious to the plot. I also liked the royal element to the story, I thought it added a little more to the story. Everly and ,Max were easy characters to root for and he's just such a swoony character. I loved how in detail you see how well they work together and their chemistry. The book is perfect for fans that love a good clean romance that is sweet and adorable and will make you feel happy inside afterwards. I highly recommend this sweet romance!

I liked the idea for this sorry but the plot fell flat. Because it was such an are we friends or aren’t we it made the book seem longer than it needed to be. The story was relatable and cute but just slow on the uptake

When I’m in the mood for light hearted, sweet romance with just enough drama and emotions to keep me hooked without being overly dramatic, Sariah Wilson is one of my go to authors. This was no different. The meet cute was great, instantly loved the MCs.

Party Favors is a delightful romance! When aspiring party planner Everley meets Max, sparks immediately fly! Insta-lust is one of my least fav tropes, but the author gets past the initial attraction and allows their relationship to deepen pretty quickly. I'm always a fan of witty banter, and between Everley, Max, and Everley's roommate Vella, there's plenty of it! I was a little frustrated that the characters didn't communicate their true feelings sooner, but overall this was a great read!

thank you to Sariah and the publishers for letting me review this wonderful Rom-Com

I read one other book by Sariah and i really enjoyed it ,
i love romance and the story did not disappoint i loved the plot very much i thought the story overall was very well paced. I felt such cosy happy vibes with the story just what i needed .

the characters were all so wonderful , most of all the Max hello Max swoon !!! he was charming just perfect to me . he can come with all the other characters that live rent free in my brain .

you love a cosy romance this one is for you its not out for a while so that why not given too much away ,but i tell you Rom-Com queens like me you will enjoy this very much more than you know wink wink .

I'm giving this swoon loving book 5 stars

such a cute story with a lot of fairy tale elements, the plot did feel a little empty and the dialogue wasn't as great as i would have loved from this author.

Sariah does it again!! I swear she is the funniest author that I have ever read. And not only that, her books are amazing! The plot is great, the characters adorable, and she nails swoonworthy just as well as humor. This one got dangerously close to the "too sexy" line, but she respectfully kept it clean. I loved it. I'm a huge sariah fan and this just fueled my fire (maybe I'll set someone's hair on fire...)

I love the royals trope that Sariah always seems to write. I think it's definitely a breath of fresh air to read about fake royals and their love lives. This book was perfect!

Party Favors by Sariah Wilson is an absolute delight! With its charming characters and witty dialogue, this book kept me hooked from start to finish. The anuthor expertly weaves together romance, humor, and a touch of drama, making it the perfect read for any occasion. Highly recommend!

I loved this book!! It was fabulous and well done. The characters were on point and I thought the plot was well developed. I would recommend this book to others.
