This book was lovely. The artwork was pretty and the suggestions to put some romantic moments in the everyday were fun and pretty easy to include. I believe in romance in relationships but also for single people who desire luxurious moments on a random Tuesday.

I think this book was okay but I would classify it more as a coffee table book rather than a self help book of sorts. The book was very cute and i loved the intro, but there was nothing of value in here. I would definitely buy this as a decorative gift for a friend that loves girly things.

It's a very whimsical take on a self help book.

Thank you Netgalley for this arc!

What a beautiful and charming book!! I’m already a big believer in romanticizing your life, so this book was just perfection for me. I love the idea of slowing down, incorporating romance, and finding the joy and beauty in the every day. There were tons of ideas, and the watercolor illustrations were sweet and whimsical. Loved it!

This is a lovely coffee table / novelty book for the independent woman in your life. It would be a great galentine's gift or housewarming gift.

Beautiful watercolor pages throughout and then a celebration of living life with what the author terms romance—imagine Audrey Hepburn, Taylor Swift in her "Begin Again" video, or cozy village romance novels. Rose colored glasses, hygge year round, if you will. Anthropologie & Paris vibes.

It’s a good idea. The explanations are cute and they do put a good spin on things that I wouldn’t have given a second thought to.

This book was so nice and cozy and magical. I loved how it was divided into bite-sized ideas of different ways to romanticize the every day and how it covered so many different areas of life. The illustrations were beautiful and charming and the perfect pairing for this book. It will make such a nice, beautiful book to gift to loved ones.

Absolutely adorable. I throughly enjoyed reading through this book and taking in the beautiful artwork.
The author has done such a great job of describing all the senses in details.
I could smell the cake, feel the sun on my skin, taste the flaky pastries…
This book is a reminder that there is romance in every day things. If we can’t find the romance, we can create our own romantic experiences.

Short and lovely ready.

I have always loved the idea of romanticizing the sometimes-mundane moments in life. In ‘Romance the Every Day’, Andrea Kasprzak provides 52 different ways to turn everyday moments into something more magical. What a fun idea for a book! I loved that she really emphasized how subtle and simple romance can be, and how important it is to find romance in things when the news, social media, and everything else can be so full of fear and hopelessness. I found myself audibly saying “yes!” and “love that!” throughout almost the entirety of the introduction. There were so many sentences I wanted to highlight or underline.

As someone who is (or at least feels like she is) still a relatively new mom, so much of my life feels like it’s running from one thing to the next. There are days when it feels like I have no time to take a deep breath, let alone find the magic in the moment. This book was a wonderful reminder to make time for even just a few seconds to pause, readjust, and take in the quiet beauty of whatever I’m doing.

The artwork in this was also so charming! I can see this being the perfect little coffee table book or an addition to a gift basket for a new home. I know that I’ll be taking several of the recommendations from this to heart.

A hopeful manifestation for a romanticized life of little moments. Taking every page of this book and making it a list to live by!

The layout and font selection was beautiful.

I enjoyed that most of the ideas in this book were either relatively cheap or free, because the barrier to access for pleasant activities can be really difficult to navigate. Also the artwork was super cute!

This is adorable. Everyone could romanticize their days a little bit more. This could be the perfect gift for just about anyone! It’s a reminder to slow down and enjoy your days!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc ebook in exchange for an honest review.
