a brilliant book. a bit of fire. a bit of sass. and then the deeper stuff too. all the good things you want and need in a romance. i whizzed through this one. and could happily read more from this author and shall be googling her as soon as ive written this.
the push me pull me was great. but also the deeper,kinder and more tender moments. you really got the sense of the feeling between these two. ad i was definitely needing them to be together.

I really enjoyed A Little Too Forward, by Melissa Williams. I enjoyed getting to know Sabrina and Max, but I agree with Sadie G whose review said "The book is a quick, lightheaded read, but I do wish it had been longer. I think it could have benefited from diving deeper into the characters' pasts, especially their family dynamics. Since Sabrina and Max were childhood friends, there was definitely potential to explore more of their shared history and how their families influenced their bond. A longer book might have allowed the author to explore that a bit more, which would have added even more depth to their relationship." What you get with this book is so very good, but giving us more would have taken it from a 4 star read to a 5 star read. Just saying, there was missed potential. I still recommend it, just not all I think it could have been. Thank you NetGalley and Melissa Williams for an advanced copy.

A Little Too Forward is a fun, light-hearted romance about Sabrina and Max, two childhood friends who reconnect after years apart. Max helps Sabrina with her career, and she takes care of him when he gets injured, leading to a balanced and easygoing relationship where both characters give as much as they take.

As for the conflict that caused them to stop being friends in the first place, it felt like an overreaction on their part. But since they were teenagers at the time, I can see why it happened and it kinda made sense for their age and the stage of life they were in.

Overall, A Little Too Forward is a sweet, easy romance with great characters and a nice balance between the couple. It’s definitely worth reading if you’re in the mood for something light and enjoyable.

I loved this. The romance is fiery but deeply emotional, filled with delicious push and pull, and the writing is sharp, electric, and brimming with chemistry. This is the kind of sports romance that doesn’t just skate by on tropes, it owns them, making every moment between Max and Sabrina feel fresh, real, and impossible to put down.

Cute story of a childhood friends, a sports reporter and a professional hockey player. Their friendship ended when he signed a contract with a team and moved away and they haven't spent time together in years even though he's always had a thing for her. They're thrown together when she quits her job and he requests her to interview him for a documentary. I thought this was a cute story but it seemed short -- hard to tell with no page numbers but definitely more novella length. It would have benefited from being a little more fleshed out I thought. The reasons for the end of their friendship were thrown out quite briefly and then resolved almost just as briefly. Still, I'm a sucker for a hockey romance and this one was cute.
