This was cute, and light, and while it handled some more serious topics like self-confidence and self-worth, it did so in a way that managed to stay mostly upbeat and bright. It was a delightful British palate-cleanser of a book with an entire ensemble cast of people who are terrible at reading other people’s feelings even when they are outright told them! Because we are all prickly little hedgehogs.

Clara and Hannah have so much in common and Teddy and Henry do too, in spite of their obliviousness to it. But they’re all different enough that they balance each other out perfectly. You just know Clara and Hannah are besties now and don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing in front of each other. Now that they’ve been locked down, their men can chill for once 😂

4.5 beautiful stars for Fundamentals in Flirting by L. Chalice, published by Harper Collins UK/ One More Chapter.
A witty and fun read, hilarious, a beautiful rom/com, flirtily gives it all the feels.

I seriously jumped at the chance to get this and was SO EXCITED to get approved. Lucy Chalice is the next Ali Hazelwood, but I gotta say that Lucy writes more intriguing MMCs. I have absolutely adored both Henry and Ted and I need a million more of these, stat!

Hannah is freaking hilarious and I absolutely love how completely oblivious she is.

As soon as I was sent the invitation to join the ARC team for this book I ran as fast as I could!

Teddy took the "He Falls First" and said: "Hold my beer and let me show how it's done."
Wow, just wow! The warm and fuzzy feelings I felt while reading this adorable and fantastic love story of second chances will be hard to forget.
At the beginning, Hannah wasn't my favorite, there was something about her almost being on the cusp of going back to her ex that sat wrong with me, but she redeemed herself beautifully.
She was also a bit blind, I can't understand how someone who spent so much time around Teddy couldn't see how much he loved and yearned for her.
Their relationship was wonderfully developed, and it didn't bore me one bit, I was engaged from the first to the last page.

I can't wait to find out what Lucy will write next!

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