I enjoyed this new Rowell's book so much! In some ways it is exactly what I was expecting and in other ways it totally surprised me. I believe that if we look at this book as a romance, then it definitely stands out, both in its portrayal of what a loving and communicating couple is and in its array of themes that touch upon the most diverse topics. I truly feel like this book in an experience, a slow and elegant one, that the readers get to enjoy because it's the characters who let them in into their world and into their story. For me it totally was the right book at the right time and I really do recommend it if you're looking for a powerful romance and story....more
This is the second story in the Uptown companion series, so you can totally read this as a standalone and totally get what is going on. I appreciate This is the second story in the Uptown companion series, so you can totally read this as a standalone and totally get what is going on. I appreciate the fact that Ruby Lang tried to give readers something new, a community garden and real estate business are not what you usually find in romance books, it was a nice change. The chemistry between Ty and Magda worked and it was well developed even though this book is actually a novella. If you're looking for a quick and cute romance, you might want to check this out!

What a lovely conclusion to much beloved series this book was! I didn't know what to expect from Nova and Charlie and color me surprised whe4.5/5 Stars
What a lovely conclusion to much beloved series this book was! I didn't know what to expect from Nova and Charlie and color me surprised when I literally fell head over heels for the two of them and their dynamics. I personally think their story truly has an organic evolution and everything that happens between the two just feels right.
Before writing this review I was pondering about this book and why I enjoyed it so much and do you know what I realized? Obviously it's thanks to these two amazing main characters, but I also believe my enjoyment is due to the lack of what I like to call an unnecessary moment in romance books and that is the third-act break up. You will not find it here because these characters actually talk to each other and realize things and feelings and that's just how I like my romance books, thank you very much.
Also, I have to give a special mention to Charlie's nickname for Nova..... you guys, every time he said "Nova girl" I wanted to giggle, it's not even funny, it was the most charming thing ever, if you've read the book you know!
Business Casual is definitely a new favorite in the series and I'm very looking forward to seeing what this author comes up with next!...more
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with this book, but I honestly found it so uninteresting that it kinda put me in a reading slump. The premise was There's nothing intrinsically wrong with this book, but I honestly found it so uninteresting that it kinda put me in a reading slump. The premise was interesting in theory, but not realistic in the slightest since we all have our phones why would people feel the need to use work accounts for personal use?? It didn't really make sense to me in this day and age and it got more absurd the more we got into the story. The characters were okay, but I really could not care for them and the ending was quite predictable from the get-go. This was definitely not my cup of tea...more

I was very looking forward to reading Casey McQuiston's new book and I'm so glad I got the chance to do so in advance. Theo and Kit's story is told through the different stops of their European food and wine tour, which was honestly such a joy to read about. Every city and town is described with its own specific vibe and I so appreciated the food/wine elements included since they added a lot to the book, were perfectly interwoven into the storyline and were just great to read if you're a foodie.
The growth these main characters went through was palpable from the pages and it truly transpired in the events described in the book. I especially appreciated how both Theo and Kit made an effort to actually communicate and talked through things that abruptly happened in the past and were never resolved before.
I would describe this as a great Summer read that features a second-chance romance with actual build-up (and teasing), accurate food elements and beautiful sightseeing moments and if you're into those you should definitely pick this up!...more

This novel is marketed as a midThis was such a tender story about grief and it truly left me in awe to read how everything was portrayed on the page. This novel is marketed as a middle grade because of the age of Coyote, the main character who’s only a young teenager. However I do believe that this might be a story for everyone and that one might find in it different things depending on which point they are in life. Overall it was truly a gorgeous story with meaningful messages and I wholeheartedly suggest you give it a try. ...more

You guys, this was such a cute read! It's the perfect book if you're looking for a young romance in a period setting with lots of banter among the characters. I did have a soft spot for Arthur because of his sense of humor, but I must say that all the characters really stood out on their own and each one had their moment to shine, such a beautiful array of people! I had some minor issues with the pacing in some parts, but from the second half the story definitely picked itself up and there were lots of things happening and not a moment to dwell. I totally recommend this one!...more
