For some reason I was expecting real photos from relaxing scenes in nature, glorious spas, and cozy fireplaces by which to sit and relax and follow all the advice that this book gives. Instead there were juvenile looking illustrations and a page (or less) of blurb-sounding suggestions for inspiring your every day life. Overall I was a bit bored reading this, and unfortunately not inspired.

I really appreciate the idea of this book. This book itself had some good ideas but overall not super inspiring and not one I would pick up again and again so unfortunately I wouldn’t pay to own it.

I love this so much, it’s full of beautiful watercolor type art and so many ideas on self care. I love everything self care, I love adding ideas to incorporate into my self care regime. This is great for anyone needing new ideas, feeling just burnt out on life in general. Everyone should start romanticizing their life.

To echo what other reviewers have said: This is the perfect coffee table book. I could see this in an Airbnb, the lobby for a business, etc. It would also make a great gift for a friend for their housewarming, a birthday, Galentines or any celebration.

In this book there are 52 different tips to romanticize your life. The way the ideas were presented was done well and the accompanying illustrations were beautiful. I feel like the author accomplished what they set out to do and I’d recommend this for anyone looking to elevate their everyday life.

This is a beautiful book about finding joy and happiness in the little things. I love the message in this book.

You’ve all seen the reels that’s like “romanticize your life” and if you are like me, you’re probably like -” wtf does that mean? Buy myself flowers? Okaaaay” I have a feeling Andrea Kasprzak must have felt that too, because this book solves that problem for you.

Romance the Every day has 52 practical ideas for you to do to romanticize your life, from visiting a cheese shop, taking yourself to a sunday matinee, wake up and dance to a song, read (:)) ,see a live show, write yourself a love note to yourself, and so much more.

I think this book is special because it highlights all of the little things you can do to make you feel big. It’s a nice reminder about the little moments and how much love you can bring into your own life.

I walked into this book thinking it would be a book on how to find romance in everything, but instead it was a book that talked about how to romanticize very specific things in your life. 52 different common aspects or actions in life are discussed as to how they can be romanticized. I really like this approach, I think the specificity will make this book more accessible to people who are starting out on their journey towards romancing their lives.

This book is beautiful, and I loved the illustrations. The idea is one that I try to live by: that each day can be beautiful and romantic if we try to make it that way. The introduction was well written, and I enjoyed reading the author's perspective on the importance of romance in daily life. The suggestions were well written, though I wished there were more of them.

This book applies quite an expansive definition to the word 'romance' and I have to say, I don't hate it! Perfect for those in love with the idea of a little self-care, Romance the Every Day is a cozy little guidebook for ways to treat yourself and put some joy in your life. They had me at "Bakeries" but I love some of the less-predictable suggestions like beautifying your closet or reading a children's picture book. I'm definitely going to make a note of some of these suggestions for those days when my day could use a little more romance!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This book was very aesthetically pleasing and gave good reminders to enjoy the simple things in life and live a little slower.

I enjoyed this book so much that I plan to buy a hardcopy when it is officially released. I have already started incorporating some of the ideas in the book into my day-to-day life. I am a firm believer in not only self-care, but in having a variety of ways to care for yourself. I like how this book provided simple but effective methods for bringing pockets of lovely joy into one's life.

The illustrations were an excellent touch and highlighted the romanticized nature of the book. I also liked how the ideas presented were simplistic enough that it invited modification if you lived in different areas than the author, or had access to different things.

I can say that I am not a romatic person but I want to try. So, this book, Romance the every day, is really helping me with ideas and inspiration for a year of little luxuries.

Just adorable! The perfect gift for yhour favorite independent woman. Romanticizing the little things in life like doing homeowrk or reading in a cafe makes life feel so much sweeter. Very well written little self-care read.

I think this is such a great book in the genre of self-care and romanticizing our lives. I especially love the A-Z approach in the suggestions. As I work with my students, and community members, I always offer weekly self-care tips, and I feel like this book is so important in today's day and age, and it offers a plethora of things to do to to help us enjoy our lives everyday.

Thanks to the author and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A cute Pinterest-worthy pocket book with a plethora of ways to romantic your life and uplift your spirits. I enjoyed all the ideas that were simple in execution and self-explanatory and at the same time, the way the author describe them make me want to try all of them out immediately, I have even made a bucket list for the summer. The illustrations were quite simplistic and not in the way I have enjoyed, I believe this book would have benefited for going in different directions with its illustration, something more Monet or Manet like would be perfect fit for this book.

What a charming book! Taking everyday ideas, decorations and crafts and turning it into so much more meaningful.
Simple tweaks can give a whole new meaning to paintings on the wall, flowers and pictures displayed on a table. This book offers inspiration for anyone looking to add a little extra joy to their day!

This was such a cute book. It gives 52 ideas on how to romanticize your life (one of my favorite things to do!!) Think flower-picking, bubble baths, crafting, used bookstores, and farmer's markets-- with descriptions on how to make each experience more magical. The illustrations were stunning and the book overall had such a cozy, cottage-core vibe. This would make a great table book to flip through as a reference when you need inspiration.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc, in exchange for my honest review. :)

Romance the Every Day is full of gorgeous illustrations and pages with ideas on how to appreciate little moments in life. Such a beautiful reminder to treasure moments even if they happen everyday.

I received an ARC from Chronicle Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Alphabetically organized. Beautiful artwork. This book is encouraging the reader to find the romantic moments of a day and to pamper, splurge, and spoil oneself. I’d never thought about romancing myself, but this books makes sense. It’s full of simple ways to be sweet to yourself. After all, we deserve it! I’m not good with self-care, so this book is a good starting point.
