As a fan of Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries series and all of her adult books, her new book No Judgments did not disappoint. This story is a fun, lighthearted and engaging read, with some emotional pain the main character Bree is both fleeing from and will eventually have to face moving the plot along. Loved the setting in the Florida Keys.

This was a fun, frothy read. It was not as entertaining or well-written as Meg Cabot's Heather Wells mystery series, however. I read this to see if it would be appropriate for our middle school library. I look forward more of Cabot's YA novels in the future. Our kids still love Teen Idol!

I loved the fact that I can relate to what is going on in the start of this book as I live in Florida and know the plight of hurricanes. As always I love anything written by Meg Cabot and this book is no exception, enjoyed it thoroughly from beginning to end.

Another enjoyable book by Meg Cabot. She’s one of my favorites. I like the characters and plot. Well done again!

Never read a Meg Cabot book. Tried something new. Not a flat out regret, but it wasn’t very good. Bad writing. Straight up. I’d like to say it was innocuous but it wasn’t. Serious stuff was dealt with too lightly, and the characters were like wood.

Cute and classic romantic comedy. "No Judgements" is an entertaining heartfelt read about a young woman Bree, fleeing from the loss of her father and difficult circumstances to a little island in the Florida Keys, called Little Bridge Keys. After settling, Bree finds herself faced with a category 5 hurricane. Should she stay or should she go? Bree stays and with the storm comes something unexpected. Love.
This is a cute and classic romantic comedy. that is highly entertaining. The storyline and characters will hold your interested with ease. A culmination of loss, love, animals, and romance there is much to admire about this book. Meg Cabot does what she does best, again.

I want to preface this by saying that I have loved Meg Cabot books since I was a teen and so it saddens me to give anything she writes two stars.

Bree Beckham moves from New York to Florida after her beloved father dies and she is sexually assaulted by someone she trusts. While living in Florida for a couple of months, a category five bears down on the little island and Bree is unprepared to put it mildly. Her mom and everyone she knows--including her ex--pleads with her to leave Florida but she refuses to and instead she hunkers down with the locals (one of them just so happens to be the romantic interest Drew).

The premise is simple. A little too simple if you ask me. I kept waiting for something else to happen other than a storm preparation. It seemed like the storm was the main character since so much book time was spent on describing everything to do with the hurricane. The romance was bland. We really don't get to know Drew and Bree or what attracts one to the other, other than the fact that we're told they like each other. I wanted some sort of tension or anything that would have made it more exciting between the two. Bree reads like a teenager and not an adult woman. Her descriptions at being aroused felt juvenile and kind of cheesy. Cabot also tended to describe everything--I mean everything--about side characters and again not enough on Drew and Bree. There wasn't enough story/romance to keep me engaged throughout which is unfortunate since there was so much to go on.

I have, and always will, love Meg Cabot. No Judgements is a fun little jaunt into what small town island life is like. There is a very real portrayal of what it's like to prep for a massive hurricane and what its aftermath means. The love story itself between the main characters is light and fluffy, and you can't help but root for them to get together. This is a fun beach read.

This is my first adult romance by the author and I really enjoyed it a storm is a brewing and the main character is going to Florida and it has love and weddings and Florida I’m here for it all Florida and romance and weddings I love it all

Bree fled New York after a series of horrible things happened - her dad died of cancer, she was assaulted and everyone told her to suck it up because the guy who did it is an alcoholic, she dropped out of school because she couldn't go back. She doesn't want to leave the island where she's been feeling safe even though something dangerous is coming (if you know nothing about hurricane prep or what hurricanes can do in terms of damage, you will learn a lot). In the storm's aftermath, both her ex and her mother are going to show up to shake up her safe space.

The first half of the book is leading up to the storm, and the second half is the aftermath. The aftermath is when Bree starts to acknowledge that maybe she might feel more than attraction for Drew. This is a big deal because of her slimy ex and his horrible best friend, who assaulted her. Her mom and her ex treat it as no big deal because she got away before he could rape her but it IS a big deal. She has been struggling to sleep properly since and avoiding men.

The setting of Little Bridge Island is basically another character in this book and made me want to go there despite the requirement of constant sunscreen and bug spray. The community is such a big part of everything throughout the book - planning/leaving because of the storm, the hurricane parties, post-storm clean-up, getting the pet info for Bree.

Drew has his own reasons for staying behind for the hurricane on his own with his dogs, even as it scares his family members that he won't stay with them. Bree has her own cat, Gary, who is simply adorable and I would 100% follow that Instagram account if it were real. The intensity of the hurricane really brings out the best and worst in people so it's a great way for the reader to see those traits in a short time period. Bree winds up looking after a bunch of animals after the only bridge to the island is taken out, and pet owners who weren't able to take their pets with them during evacuation realize they're not going to make it back in time to care for them (no pets die during this book).

I found myself impatient for the storm to just get here, already, because the back cover blurb had me assuming that most of the book took place post hurricane but it's pretty evenly split and the reasons for that become more clear (in establishing characters) upon reflection. Bree's journey takes its time as she has a lot to deal with in terms of her past and deciding to get out of her holding pattern for the future. No Judgments is a good novel for those looking for a unique setting with a hopeful ending.

Fun story with some drama, romance, and action.
Bree is a flawed character who doesn't know what to do with her life. Running away to a small FL island after a breakup, she slowly finds her way. An interesting cast of characters help her through as they all prepare for and then survive a hurricane.

Bree, or Sabrina, has fled to Little Bridge, her childhood vacation spot. She's wants to fit in with the locals so when she learns that a hurricane is approaching, she decides not to evacuate. Big mistake. The bridge to Little Bridge is washed away leaving her to face her feelings for Drew, her boss's son.

I have to preface this with the fact that I LOVE Meg Cabot's work. The book was funny, interesting, and I liked the characterization and the overall feel of the book. However, there were a few moments that were out of place and the plot was predictable. If you want a fun read that you don't have to think too hard about, this is a good choice.

Contrary to a few of the reviews, I enjoyed the book. Yes, it perturbed me a bit to see that no one took her (for no spoilers) issue seriously, but I also recognise that it’s a very real thing. Other than that, I thought it was a light hearted read and was great for the holiday weekend!

I have read more of the author's young adult and middle grade novels than her adult books. I thought it was a good contemporary story with a cute romance. I especially liked the parts about the pet rescues. The main couple got a happy ending. Since this appears to be the first in a series, I hope the other books focus on new couples. The characters can make guest appearances, but I don't like when stories are dragged out.

A category 5 storm being deemed a "storm of the century" is headed right towards Little Bridge Island in the Florida Keys. Bree (short for Sabrina) is determined to ride the storm out with the locals, against the advice of her domineering mother and other family and friends. Bree is slowly rebuilding her life, away from her family and abusive ex and is reluctant to leave. She can't abandon her cat Gary and there's also handsome local heart breaker Drew Hartwell who will be riding out the storm as well.
As a long time fan of Cabot's novels, I enjoyed this fun charming story. I loved the awareness it brought towards natural disasters and specifically the impact these have on animals, something that can often be overlooked amid the other destructive consequences of storms. The sense of community and people coming together was endearing. Watching Bree fall in love and become a champion for animals in need, all during the aftermath of a destructive storm was an interesting concept and made for lots of laughter and swoon worthy moments. While I enjoyed Bree's journey of growth and self discovery, I do wish there was more of a focus on the romance at times and more character growth for Drew as well. At times I felt the story was only skimming the surface of it's potential. Overall I think the timing of the release is perfect, as it is a great read for summer vacation.

Thank you, Harper Collins and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review No Judgements. As a resident of South Florida, June 1st is the dreaded day, the first day of Hurricane season. No Judgements created that apprehension a little earlier for me this year. Meg Cabot has created a sweet, hot, romantic love story set in the Florida Keys that takes place during one of the worst Hurricanes in history to ever to approach the Keyes.

This was the first Meg Cabot book I ever read. I know! On the upside I can now go and read everything in her back catalog. Great characters, delightful animals...you can't go wrong.

No Judgements is a book full of quirky and lovable characters who you wouldn't mind meeting in real life. Meg Cabot paints a picture of a Island town that is preparing for and then surviving what is expected to be a brutal hurricane. The main character Sabrina has just dropped out of law school after her father's death and is trying to build a life away from her famous mom ,Judge Justine, as well as her ex-boyfriend Caleb. Bree is also recovering from a sexual assault by her ex's best friend Kyle. The family's party line is that nothing really happened because she was able to save herself and they seem to belittle the real emotional issues she is facing. As the storm progresses, Bree gets involved with a swoon worthy local named Drew who she doesn't want to like but eventually falls for as they work to help the Island's animals. It sounds like this would be a "heavy" read but it is actually a fairly light and humorous read with characters you want to learn more about!

received an ARC from netgalley for honest review.

I loved this story! It was so much fun! The characters are a hoot and I really love the animal aspect to it. Gary the cat is my favorite and all the dogs named Bob. If you are looking for a quick, fun read give this a go. Meg Cabot is one of my favorite all time authors, and this story just makes her better. I see it's going to be a series, so I'll be happy to read more about these characters and their adventures on the island.

She has done it once again!!! Meg Cabot is such a fantastic author!

No Judgements centers around Bree and Drew and all of the inhabitants of Little Bridge Island, Florida as they brace for a major hurricane. Many evacuated, but some stayed and Bree and Drew were two that decided to ride out the storm on the island. They knew each other...barely. But as fate would have it they will get to know each other very, VERY well!!! It was from that point in the novel that I was 100% all in!

It always blows my mind that after all of the novels Meg Cabot has written over the years that her writing is still so stinking good! No Judgements is a light hearted rom-com that I truly never wanted to end. I felt Meg did a great job with developing Bree and Drew’s friendship/relationship naturally and organically. There wasn’t any parts of this book that lagged for me, hence the reason I flew through this book! I also want to mention that I found Bree and Drew’s love and dedication to animals completely endearing!! I honestly cannot think of one person who wouldn’t enjoy No Judgements- definitely check it out!
