Thank you Netgalley for an early read of this football romance. I enjoyed this one but there are parts throughout the story that made me cringe a little. Some of the internal dialogue from Andy didn't sit well with me, like was trying to be macho . I also felt like Harlow overreacted a little more than usual in parts. The meet cute between Andy and Harlow wasn't as much "cute" (but it was definitely a meet cute you don't forget!). I liked the development of the two characters but feel like it was almost too "insta-lovey". Overall, I think it is a cute romance that fans will enjoy!

It absolutely pains me to say that i wasn't the biggest fan of this book. I have loved Sara Ney since the HOW TO DATE A DOUCHEBAG days - I've read everything she has written, but this just wasn't for me. The fact that I love Sara tells me that the issues with this book are purely mine, and I am sure everyone else will love it.

Funny characters like always the neighbor girl reminds me of the teanager from hard pass who used to walk their dog too. I always enjoy the quirky characters

I really liked this book from Sarah Ney. The banter between Harlow and Andy was spot on. I knew Andy was a keeper when he showed up at Harlow’s door and the reaction from her dad made me laugh out loud. Sarah has a way to make her characters come to life and be humorous, while telling their story. A definite five star read for me.

3/5 stars

Didn't love it, but was still an enjoyable romance! I wanted to love this one so badly and the first half was a 5 star, last 3rd really fell a bit flat but you might disagree!

Still a huge fan of Sara and everything she writes

Leí algunas reseñas y tengo que estar de acuerdo en que la historia es un desastre, pero es de esos libros tan absurdos que te hacen reír y pasar un buen rato. No hay drama entre los protagonistas, o si lo hay, se resuelve rápidamente. Es un libro para relajarse, ideal después de leer algo pesado, para cuando quieres despejar la mente. De esos que te dejan una sensación de tranquilidad.

Me dio mucha risa la escena del pollo; Landon pudo haberse ahorrado esa humillación y dolor de estómago, pero no le hizo caso a Harlow.

Espero que se agregue un verdadero epílogo, porque el que tiene es más un adelanto de quién será el próximo protagonista. Necesito saber como es que les va como pareja, si tuvieron hijos y como fue la adaptación de ella con los medios de comunicación.


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

How do you know who would become a new favorite writer for you? when you can't put the book down and each paragraph leaves you with a smile or a different emotion.
.
Sara Ney created two characters so different that when you read each point of view you understand where they come from and how they can be in two very different worlds, but when they cross paths and interact it is pure chemistry and what remains of each exchange is just perfection.
.
Harlow is in New York dealing with important meetings to launch her perfectly curated dating app. But when she see a stranger about to make a serious mistake in Central Park , she put aside her attitude “wherever you are…” and warn him that he is going to make a big mistake and get sick.
.
Of course, when the stranger decides to prove her wrong, she doubles down and tells him that if he doesn't get sick, he can look for her and she will buy him dinner, but if she's right, he's going to pay.
.
What would never have occurred to her is that she would see him again in the big city where she stays just for some days, but fate have other ideas and she see him a few hours later in the lobby of her hotel.
.
mistaken identity is usually a bit tricky but Sara Ney manages to maintain it very well throughout the book. And the secondary characters are so well presented that I simply can't help but think about what awaits them in the next books, I hope there are many books to come
.
If you like sport romance, small towns, opposites that attract, and conversations through chats that are so wholesome, you are going to love this book and you are going to want to read more .
.
Thanks to Sara Ney, her team and Montlake for give me a copy of this beautiful book in exchange for my honest and voluntary opinion

Definitely witty, this book was full of fun, smile inducing banter. I have to admit that I didn’t see the love there- definitely chemistry or the physical kind but deeper emotions did not feel characterized well in my opinion. That said, I adored the back and forth with the snark and amusing dialogue, Harlow and Andy were awesome characters and overall, it was a fun time. Thanks to the publisher, author and NetGalley for an early read!

🍗 not your biggest fan 🍗

If you’re looking for a fun book, this is a good pick.
I had some great laughs with it if I’m honest. It’s a little corny for my tastes but this book has some farts/sh!t jokes and sorry but I found them funny 😂.

Andy and Harlow met in a very unique way - insert some of the farts jokes - he orders chicken food from a street vendor in New York which she advised him not to eat it but he’s stubborn and does it. They made a bet if he don’t get sick or sh!t himself, he comes find her and she’ll buy him dinner. If it’s the otherwise he owns her. He indeed gets sick.
Harlow really thought she wouldn’t she him again but then they run into one another and he invites her dinner and their story begins.

This is a fun book just to hang out so don’t expect deep thoughts and in my humble opinion the drama was unnecessary - I don’t like exes drama involving so that’s on me but yeah the drama was quick and then everyone lives happily ever after.

Did I enjoy it? Yes.

I’d like to thank NetGalley for the Arc.

Not Your Biggest Fan by Sara Ney was a super quick read. It felt like a Novella. I nice little palate cleanser after some of the deeper books I've been lately. THIS BOOK TAKES PLACE OVER a few days! It was quick, good banter - pretty darn cute and Harlow's dad is an adorable menace! Can we get dad's romance story next?

I loved the meet cute in Central Park, I love the day date and their mustaches.

Was this rushed, uncomplicated and wrapped up way to nice and tidy? Probably. But it was just what I needed right now.

If you are wanting a taste of sports romance, this is a good place to start. I'll be picking up more Sara Ney in the future.

Thank you NetGalley for a chance to check out this arc for an honest review!

Good use of dual POV. There is some good banter here but the chemistry seems a little off. Enjoyed the story but it wasn't anything special. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book

I was not a huge fan of this story. I went into this book hoping for a sports romance that was different. I was mistaken when I read the summary of the book because I read "cocky football player" to reading that he knocked on her door when she went back home to her dad and corgi. Therefore, I was expecting a man changed. However, we still got the cocky football player that during his thoughts and actions were a bit hard to read at times. I did really like the female main character. I thought she brought depth into the story and her app Kismet was super interesting. I did enjoy the spice in the book, which is a surprise since Andy's everyday actions were a bit cringe worthy. I did read this book fairly quickly so I would say that the pacing was good. However, I think that after closing the book I did not have that feeling of wow it was more like okay great on to the next book. The authors writing just may not be for me and that is okay. The summary intrigued me, the story did not. I hope that people pick this book up expecting a quick sports romance read that has minimal depth.
2.5 stars!
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me access to reading this ARC.

This was a fun read!

Harlow and Andy were a fun pair to 'watch.' Harlow's humor and personality were fabulous, their meet cute was hilarious, and their story from there made for an entertaining read. It was just a great, lighthearted read all around that I enjoyed and would read again.

Sara Ney is a go to author for the romcom that you can't stop laughing while reading. These two are the polar opposites of each other and it makes you wonder how they will ever work it out, but these two sure do! Their chemistry was off the charts in this one and I love that she thought she was in for a weekend and got so much more. It gave me a refreshing take on a one night stand style romance and I really enjoyed it!

Cute story. With the title in mind I was thinking there would be a little more clash between Harlow and Andy. With her not knowing who he was through most of the book that was not the case. Just the dislike of the game was the issue. I thought Andy was struggling with his next step in his career. With just one meet cute his world would change. I liked that from the beginning of their relationship he was all in. I thought Harlow’s app could’ve been touched up on a little more but maybe there will be a spin off with Dex’s story? Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for this free advanced copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily

Harlow is in New York City for work. She meets Andy at a food truck in Central Park and runs into him again later at her hotel. They spend a steamy night together and go their separate ways after exchanging numbers. The only problem is Harlow doesn’t know Andy is actually an NFL star, so when he shows up at her house in Green Bay, all hell breaks loose.

Overall, this was cute. I liked Harlow and Andy as characters, but I felt like it was a little too insta-love. The texts they sent were borderline cringey. I wish it spanned over a longer time period because it felt really rushed! I did enjoy it for the most part.

Harlow and Andy have an excellent meet cute in Central Park (don't eat the food truck chicken, she says. He does. It ends poorly.), followed by a one night stand. Or so Harlow thinks.

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book. I thought the meet cute was fun, and I enjoyed their texting conversations.

But there a three things that keep me from really liking this one.

1. Pacing. I suddenly realized that it was about 50-60% of the way through the book when there had been barely any conflict, and then they were cementing their relationship after barely any time at all when I didn't feel they'd earned it.
2. Harlow's work. Harlow is an app developer almost ready to launch, and her friends are also her employees/team. And yet it didn't feel like she had any focus on this. I desperately wanted evidence of her competence and commitment to her project.
3. Evil ex. The drama in the book is precipitated by an evil ex who feels 2D and unredeemable. It felt... lazy? Rushed? It just didn't sit right.

I started writing this up thinking I was going to give it three stars, but I've talked myself down to two. What started off as a fun, lighthearted read got bogged down in things that bothered me.

One big plus: It's set substantially in Green Bay, and Harlow's dad following up emergency texts telling Andy to come over with "Are you hungry? I could make something." is just about pitch perfect Wisconsin.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

3.5/5 stars! I love Sara Ney and wanted to love this book. Unfortunately, I am from Wisconsin and have been a Cheesehead since I was old enough to talk. Wisconsin is really a state of small towns, EXCEPT for Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay. Green Bay is not a small town. It's one of our state's largest cities. Granted it's not New York or LA, but it's not a small town. I think authors need to be careful when writing about areas they have never visited or don't understand.

That being said, I loved the banter between the two main characters. Sara does a great job of playing up chemistry. I still enjoyed it despite my personal ugh about location inaccuracies.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review

Trust Sara Ney to write a humorous and witty romance yet again. This book was filled with banter and emotion, which I’ve come to expect with bated breath from Ney now! NYBF is a perfect example of all her skills on display!

This was cuuuuuute! Been a while since I dabbled in sports romance and now I remember why I love it so much.

The food truck meet cute was hilarious. I love how Andy pursued her time and time again even though she was hesitant and unsure. I do wish the hero was a little more unkind to the OW lol which sounds horrible! But she was a horrible person and I didn't love hearing in his POV about how hot she was and fun and how he even missed her a little bit. When it comes to evil exes, I just need the MMC to only share his regrets, I don't want to hear about him missing her!

Other than that, this was your super cute standard sports romance. A bit formulaic, but I have no problems with that. Most of us who read these kinds of books are totally okay knowing what we're getting! Sara Ney did it well and I found myself laughing a lot.
