This is such an interesting premise and something different from the usual romcoms. The magazine quiz bringing two strangers together was quite interesting.

I liked the characters and their perspectives to bring the story together. Was a light fun read that was enjoyable.

Thank you 8th Note Press and NetGalley for this e-arc in exchange of my unbiased review.

I had high hopes for 37 Questions given the truly captivating and unique premise. Unfortunately, the book did not live up to those hopes for me. 37 Questions involves two strangers discussing personal questions found in a magazine, which inherently makes the dialogue between characters vital to the story. The reason the book fell flat for me was because the (oh so vital) dialogue was somewhat blunt and unbelievable. It felt like reading a bullet-point summary of a conversation instead of two people actually having a conversation. Similarly, instead of showing a relationship being formed, the book was filled with “I’m feeling close to this person” type commentary, as if trying to convince the audience without sufficient proof. This all may sound a bit harsh and the truth is that I still read every word, the book just missed the mark for me overall.

Thank you to NetGalley and 8th Note Press for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I initially requested this book based on the aesthetic cover and premise which sounded great.

Unfortunately, I couldn't finish this book and ended my reading at 35%.

My main issue with this book was the dialogue. It was stilted, clunky, and didn't flow, which is rather difficult considering the majority of what I read was all dialogue. I also had issues with how the male lead spoke, it was inconsistent, flipping between formal, regency style to modern slang. I found him to be a combination of English stereotypes and cliches which, for me, was grating.

I'm sure someone would love this book, unfortunately, it wasn't for me.

The story of Nora and Aiden. I liked at it was told from both points of view and the pace of the book. I would have liked more of an epilogue though.

37 Questions by June Kaye

Nora is an independent woman who has some deep seated childhood issues she has clearly not fully dealt with. I get it, but if she's been in therapy for so long you'd think maybe she have worked through the abandonment and daddy issues. Anyhow, she was hard to really get warm and fuzzy towards her. So it made the story plod along at a snails pace.
Aiden on the other hand came off as quirky and endearing. Yes he made mistakes, but in response to his interactions I get why he was stalling. Yet, still the connection felt to strong to quickly. But the questions in the article were fun and based on real research, so that was an interesting plot for a book.

This was a good read, overall it did give me everything I thought it was going to give. The ending was a little slow, but it was ok.

First I want to thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.
37 questions was a fun read. While I'm personally giving it a lower rating, that doesn't mean it's a bad book, I just don't believe I was the best target audience for this book. Overall, it was a very typical rom-com type of book & I could see many enjoying it, it just wasn't the right kind of book for me.

cute and fun, i would read more from thhis author thank you netgalley and the publisher for this earc

At the beginning of 37 questions, I was loving it. But then by chapter 15, I couldn’t wait for it to be over. I think I don’t like super long scenes in books and I didn’t know until I read this book. I hope there is a trigger warning in the finish version. Overall, this just wasn’t for me once the meet cute was over. Also, who is building a fire in fireplace when there are near-tornado level winds? That’s how house fires happen.

I loved the premise of this story - 37 questions to fall in love. Lucy's emotional is raw and difficult. There were times I wanted to champion her and others I struggled with her decisions.

Though some of the book felt repetitive and some characters were underdeveloped, the book is a thoughtful read but with room for improvement.

Thanks to NetGalley and 8th Note Press for the ARC! Opinons are my own

First and foremost thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review. All thoughts are my own!

I really enjoyed the premise of this story, there were times I felt a real connection to the characters and other times I really wanted to give them a piece of my mind. Lol There were times I felt that Nora really needed to take a long hard look in the mirror. Overall this was a vey enjoyable and quick read. I love the idea of really getting to know someone on a deeper level in an era where that does not happen often enough.

This was such a cute story between Nora and Aiden. The story is centered around two strangers meeting by chance and having to take shelter during a tornado warning. Aiden just happens to be a famous actor, but Nora has no idea who he is. What follows is their journey getting to know each other while taking shelter, using a questionnaire from a magazine. These questions are supposed to make you fall in love with your partner who’s answering with you.

Aiden may be an actor, but he’s down to earth and shy, so he relishes the idea that Nora might get to know him as a person instead of his famous persona. Nora, however, has trust issues stemming from some childhood trauma. Their growth as characters allowed us as readers to really get to know them, while they also got to know each other.

This cute love story features a dual POV and almost insta-love. But the authors do a great job of making it feel authentic. Highly recommend this book.

Loved the premise - Aidan is a famous actor taking shelter from a storm which grounds his plane in his childhood friend's tenant Nora who has no idea who he is. To pass the time they answer 37 questions that a magazine article.

For a shortish book I found this book really plodded along slowly. Every time I picked it up I just found myself skimming through and then putting it back down. The big thing for me was the insta-lust gave the game away too early instead of letting them develop the chemistry from being utter strangers. You could tell it was written by a non-British author so Aidan came off as a cliche idea of a British person. The third act drama also felt like it was shoehorned and frankly I just I couldn't buy they fell in love with each other that quickly.

Thanks to 8th Note Press and NetGalley for the ARC.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
This book has a wonderful premise (two strangers forced to shelter from a storm together) that lends itself to rely heavily on dialogue. This may have increased my expectations and picture something along the lines of the Before movie series. Unfortunately, the dialogue rarely felt natural or engaging. There were many references to Disney, Star Wars, & Beatles that took me out of the experience. Also, the attempt at creating depth felt like trauma dumping rather.
However, I can see this being enjoyed by other readers and I look forward to seeing what this author duo bring out in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and 8th Note Press, for an eArc in exchange for an honest review

Unfortunately, this book wasn't for me and I'm so sad because the premise sounded very promising. I ended up DNFing at around 30%.

My main issue has been the straight horniness from both characters from the very beginning. It fell flat, superficial, and difficult to connect with. I expected it to be more of a wholesome read, and where the attraction between the two main characters grew as they started to know each other better from talking and going through the quiz.

Another thing that has bothered me is how stereotypical Aiden is written as an English man - it keeps remarking things that we associate with British people, but it feels forced.

3.5 stars
This is a fun, entertaining read. Aiden and Nora are interesting, complex, wounded, strong, intriguing, entertaining characters. The path to their HEA is not smooth but is entertaining to read. I enjoyed the growth in the characters from where they are at the start of the story to where they end up. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. The story is easy to read and get into.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Not for me. This was too insta-lovey for my taste although I do love a good stormed in forced proximity trope.

I thought I would like the premise because I loved those 37 questions thing when I was younger, but it turns out that’s the only thing I really liked about it. The characters were fine but I couldn’t really connect with them. They didn’t make sense to me as a couple and while they seemed like fine individuals, i didn’t vibe with it. The hidden identity aspect was fine but it just lasted SO LONG and he had so many opportunities to tell her and it bugged me.

This was a good read with so many good messages in it. Loces that there wasn't really any spice. I like spice but there's a time and place for it and this book wasn't it. Written in 3rd person this book follows Nora and Aiden who are stuck in a storm/tornado and to pass the time they are doing a questionnaire from a magazine. It starts out light hearted but quickly dives into deep and personal questions. The point of the questionnaire is to get the participants to fall in love with each other and boy does it work. But Nora quickly finds out that not everything she knows about Aiden was the truth.
Honestly I loved how real this book was. I got annoyed with Nora partway through but her response was reasonable and real. I could see something like this happening in real life. The little messages were my favorite bits. This book kinda made you question some things about life and how you would respond to it.i loved how it was done.

Cute forced proximity, hidden identity rom com with likeable characters who are strangers with some chemistry facing a tornado threat. The calm after the storm isn't so calm since they are no longer strangers, but still have a big secret between them that changes everything. No big surprises, but a fun and enjoyable read.

This book was cute and I loved the magazine questions. This one is very insta-love which is ok with me but the one thing that I didn't like was the fact that Aiden hides his true identity for so long. He had several chances to come clean and he just kept on with the lie and I was so frustrated by that. I really liked Nora's character and thought she was funny and down to earth. Overall this was a fine read but it was nothing extraordinary.
