Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group for a chance to read the sneak Peak of this book.

It was a great book so far. I loved it from the very first scene and the protagonist is someone you can relate to. I can't wait to read it when it comes out on April 7. I am looking forward to this book! Highly recommended.

Happy reading!

*This review is for the excerpt, not the full book!*

This sneak peek of the Best Laid Plans was fun, light and comical! Aimed at a more mature YA audience, the book’s title and first six chapters all focus on dating/relationships/sex in high school. I’d be interested to see how Keely fares in the full book, but the plot feels a little predictable. I think this book would be good for fans of the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before series.

This was a great section of teaser chapters! I think this book sounds like a great and more mature YA. From just the first selection of pages I'm already excited to read more and see how this friends to lovers trope works out. There seems to be plenty of fodder for good and sincere discussions and growing up in a small town.

Can't wait for more!

I am so hooked on this already just from the Sneak Peek! I cannot wait until it comes out to find out the rest of Keely’s story.

This is a review for an excerpt not the full book!!!

This story had my engaged from the moment I started it. A group of high school seniors trying to navigate high school before all their different departures for college. It starts off with everyone at Andrews house for a birthday party for that main gal of the story, Keely, who after developing a crush of her own turns to Andrew to help her navigate all the new things of wanting to date and all that comes with being in a relationship. Will they turn this friendship into lovers? Who knows but I can’t wait to read the rest of the story!

This sneak peak of The Best Laid Plans was honestly really good. It gave me enough to get attached to the story—although the first few lines had already hooked me!

The writing is cute and the characters reminded me of myself and my friends while we were in High School. I too was an eighteen year old virgin who’s friends all lost theirs before me, so the story really hit home. I can’t wait until this book is released. I will definitely be buying and giving this book a proper review!

Really enjoyed the excerpt! Love the humor and the characters. There have a been a couple eye-roll moments but my guess is that those are on purpose and some of the characters have some learning and growing up to do. I can’t wait to read the full book. Thanks NetGalley, author, and publisher for this sneak peek!

Okay so the little sneak peek that we got was actually really good. I like our main character Keely, and honestly could see myself shipping her and Dean together as they work at the same place later on in the book.. I only read six chapters, but I could already tell the tone is lighthearted and should be incredibly fun to read. Plus, the humor is just right up my alley! Looking forward to finding myself a copy.

Before reading this excerpt, I had seen the cover and instantly, became interested to know what it was about. So I got excited to see that a sneak peak was available in netgalley. From the first línes, I was hooked but also intrigued because I was expecting the first chapter to end up in a cliche situation, but wasn’t like that at all so I became even more hooked. Keely, the main character, reminds me so much of what I used to be like in high school, so i got reminded of a lot of topics that were running through my mind back then. From what I read, I like that the characters are so complex, and relatable. The last part of the excerpt left me wanting more, not a cliffhanger (obviously, it’s only chapter 3) but definitely wanna know what happens next.

This book comes out in April 7th

I've been heavy into rom-com like books recently, and this sounded so good til i hit the part where she wants to basically "use" her long time friend so she can hook up with some hot guy.... yuck. i hate people who act like it's okay to friend zone these guys but then still do that kind of shit. ugh.

This sounds like it will be super cute! I'm a sucker for rom-coms if they're done well, so hopefully this can deliver. Will definitely check it out down the road.

I was super excited to read this sneak peek.
Ive been into rom coms lately and I can already tell I will love this one!

Keely is adorable and so relatable. I look forward to reading more about all the characters.

I can’t wait for this to be released.

I absolutely loved this except. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read this one but this sneak peek was just thing I needed to show me that I absolutely need this book in my life.

Keely is so relatable. I also would prefer a 10 hour Netflix binge to a house party and I loved her knowledge of all things Hitchcock.

I’m so ready for it to be April 7th so I can continue with the story. Unless someone wants to send me a full galley **wink wink**.

I thought this sneak peek was adorable, and I can't wait to read the rest! The main character, Keely, is such a fun, sympathetic character and I want to know what happens next.

Thanks to NetGalley for the Sneak Peek ARC. All opinions are my own.

Thank you to Netgalley and Razorbill for sharing this sampler in exchange for my honest review.

I was so excited when I saw this sampler listed! The Best Laid Plans is a sweet spring rom-com that I've had my eye on for a while, and I can't wait to finish it upon its release in April. Keely is a great main character, full of personality even in the first 60 pages or so. Coming out April 7th!

I've only read the excerpt of this so, only the first six chapters. Let me just tell you I'm already hooked. It's so cute, it has small town vibes, realistic characters, and a nice writing tone. I cannot wait for this book to be released so i can finish it!

In this sneak peek I only got to read the first 6 chapters of The Best Laid Plans, but I’m already planning to pick this one up when it publishes. Keely as a lead character has so much potential even in just the first chapters. She’s seemingly naive and inexperienced, but she also has that spark and sass that is just right there edging it’s way out. The “coming of age” is pouring out of this one. The banter between all of the characters is fun. The other characters themselves are interesting enough to make me want to read along, and know more about them. I think it really says something when an author can make you love the mains and the additional characters just as much. Honestly, this book just seems like a promising YA romance read, with a coming of age plot breaking down the pedestal that our society places on virginity. Can’t wait to read more!

From the vibrantly fun cover to the first few chapters, Best Laid Plans is offering everything I need to gain and KEEP my attention. I knew that this was a book I wanted to read to completion after the first paragraph - it might eve have been the first sentence that sucked me in. I’m excited to see how this possible friends-to-lovers setup plays out, as well as to dive in further into what seems to be a wildly entertaining coming of age story.
