Thank you Putman and Netgalley for this arc! I love Fallon Ballard! She rights the perfect easy romcom and I can’t get enough and Just My Type was no different. I loved how quick this read was but I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything! Such a good read!

Truly is a reimagining of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and I AM HERE FOR IT! It's all about growing, learning who you are and what you want out of life, and learning how to trust yourself getting there. I loved this story but even more I loved the examination of friedships and work dynamics. Great Story!

4/5 stars!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-arc of this book.

Unfortunately this book was archived before I could read and review it! But I look forward to reading it anyway! The plot sounds just up my alley!

Well, this fell flat for me. It was not a book I really fell in love with. Character Ms needed more for me to love.

I have just not had a good sweet romance book that I really obsess over. This was well written and my first one by Falon, definitely a cute one. Just not my speed.

This book started out incredibly strong. The first few pages had me fully hooked and ready to give it an automatic 5 stars. By around the 50% mark, the story got very repetitive and the female main character, Lana, was just so insufferable and an unbearable asshole that it was hard to push through it.

By the end, it had turned a little back around. I think the book really could’ve benefitted from being dual POV and making Lana not be in such hardcore denial about every single facet of her life.

Absolutely adorable and fast-moving. Cute characters, and some cute tension in the plot. These lovers-to-enemies plots often feel silly — but this felt solid.

The growth! The tension! The journalism!

This second chance, rivals to lovers story was full of competition, intense challenges and lovely self introspection.

Falon Ballard is now an auto-buy author for me!

Definitely pick up this LA-set romantic romp!!

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

Lana Parker has been in one relationship after another pretty much since she was fourteen. So when her boyfriend of four years dumps her on the night she thought he was going to propose, Lana and everyone around her sees it as an opportunity to find herself. Her very single self. Should be easy, right? Enter Seth Carson, Lana’s first love. He’s back in her life and at her workplace, and it’s hard to deny that their past is strictly in their past. As the competition between them heats up, so do their feelings. But both Lana and Seth will have to decide what is more important – their hearts or their careers. It took me all of three pages to know I was going to love Lana. Ballard infuses her with personality right from the very beginning, and that tenacity and emotion carries her through the entire book. As a character, I found Lana to be very easy to understand; she’s a serial dater who hates being single, she feels stuck in her current role at work, and she makes so many nerdy, Marvel references. It’s hard not to like her. But it’s hard not to like her ex, Seth, too. He enters the picture as Enemy #1, the one who broke Lana’s heart all those years ago. But as the competition between them rolls out, it’s hard to ignore the little hints that Seth isn’t the big, bad heartbreaker that Lana pictures. As the plot progresses, it’s hard not to root for them to find love with each other again. I love a good second-chance romance, and this one came across as being especially drama-free compared to other romances I’ve read. Ballard did an excellent job at building the tension and history between Seth and Lana without resorting to big blow ups or public scenes. I loved the quiet competition between them; in order to win, they had to be better than the other but also better than their past selves.

With seemingly opposite end goals – Lana had to learn to not immediately jump headfirst into a new relationship, and Seth had to learn how to put the one night stands behind him and commit – most of their challenges were cause for internal struggle more than anything else. Of course, once we get through the misunderstandings and miscommunication, both main characters do find their happily ever after. I loved the antics both characters got up to, but the action would’ve been nothing without such well done, relatable characters. Seth, with his self-sacrificing love, was the perfect person for Lana, and I loved them both individually and as a unit. Whether fighting or making up, Lana and Seth made Just My Type a fun and entertaining second-chance romance.

I’m not always huge on second chance romances, but I enjoyed this one! There’s plenty of banter and sparks to keep things fun while reading without being overkill. The task lists were delightful and I loved how Lana was able to grow personally and professionally throughout the book.

I loved this book. It was fun and funny and cute and heartbreaking and real and organized. I made friends with the characters and I miss them

A sweet and occasionally spicy second chance romance, great LA setting and "vibes", and good characters. While I've been reading them out of order, this was Falon Ballard's sophomore novel and there's no slump here.

not as good as her debut! I loved Lease on Love, but I found this one lacking. the dynamic between Lana and Seth was not as strong nor as entertaining as I would like. the dialogue and Marvel references felt like too much, and the references cringed me out (and that’s coming from a huge Marvel fan)!

this is also one of the books that illustrate why enemies to lovers doesn’t wholly work in contemporary romances.

just not really for me and not really my taste nowadays!

this book was precious! the perfect amount of romance without being cringey. i loved the banter between the main characters.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with this book to read free of charge. I really enjoyed this story and thought it was similar to a rom-com movie. I feel like this could be a book I could read again.

This book was such a cute romantic comedy book! I enjoyed it and felt like I was on the ride with the characters! I would definitely recommend this book!

I'm typically in to second-chance romance, for some reason I struggled with this one. It was hard to connect to the main characters and the conflict was almost hard to believe. I do with we knew more about Lana and Seth's relationship prior to the current time. Like, why is she still hung up on him after all these years? I think we needed to be able to root for their relationship more by having more backstory. Still, it was a good book and I would recommend it.

I really love this author! Lease on Love was one of my favorite books (which I ended up loving just a bit more than this). This felt like Devil Wears Prada meets The Bold Type meets How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days all in one crossover event. It was a great combination of humor while having a true plot. I loved the dynamic between all the friends who really felt core to the story which is a little different than usual. Tons of tropes in this one - enemies to lovers, second chance romance, and workplace rivalry.

I love a second chance romance, but this one wasn’t for me. It was too slow, and I didn’t get enough of a hook from the characters.
