Not my favorite, my I enjoyed it. I don't know that i've read a book about dentists before, but I also don't know that i needed to?

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.

This was the book that made me fall in love with Mazey Eddings after not really enjoying "Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake." I never thought I could enjoy a romance featuring dentists so much!

I like that the author tried to do something different, but I could not get into this story. It felt very juvenile, and I wanted the main character to get some better treatment for her issues, rather than an awkward romance. I rarely DNF a book but reader, I DNF'd this one.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Oh My God one of the steamiest contemporaries I have ever read. Must pick.
What I like: the denstist jokes. I never thought that profession could be humorous or sexy. still don't but the books kinda sets it up nice and I buy it.

I went into this book a little skeptical, but it didn't take long for me to fall in love with Harper, Dan, and the entire cast of characters. This book was written by an author who truly does know the neurodivergent experience, and the way Harper was never portrayed as weak for having anxiety made me cry! I can't wait to read it again.

Boy I didn’t know this book was going to get graphic so everyone is in for a treat! Although Harpers character was kind of hard to like for almost the entire book, I really loved Dan’s character he truly made the book the romance love story I was looking for. Really enjoyed reading this book!

Thanks to netgalley for the early read.

I planned on rating this three stars, but the last 25% of the book had me HOOKED to the point I stayed up until 1am when I had to catch a 6am flight. I read The Plus One first, now I’m going back to read the rest.

Harper and Dan are super cute by all means! Not a huge fan of insta-love tropes, but the morph into a best friend really set it apart. It felt repetitive at times, but Harper’s anxiety felt a little too relatable. I love how much the author champions therapy in her books and de-stigmatizing mental health issues!

Such a cute story! If you like a golden retriever boy and women in STEM, definitely pick this up :)

Unfortunately, I didn’t feel this book was for me and have discovered that fluffy romance may not be my thing, but I do feel that if you like that sort of thing, you will LOVE LOVE LOVE this book :)

This was such a sweet friends to lovers story. Dan and Harper are serious endgame goals. I enjoyed seeing what they each had to go through to eventually come together. This was a great romance and I would definitely recommend it!

cute cute cute cute

Thanks to NetGalley / Edelweiss and the publisher for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for a review.

I did not love this one but considering I could read it despite my extreme dental anxiety is probably a bonus point to the author. I didn't feel like the romance made a lot of sense and the struggles the characters faced just didn't feel enough to capture my interest.

A cute and quirky debut novel! I really appreciated the details that the author included about the struggle of women in a male-dominated career, but I do think it was a little heavy-handed as the conflict. Knowing that this novel is semi-autobiographical makes me feel more favorable to it, but the chemistry was only the barest spark and I wish that more effort was put in to building on it.

This one was cute, but it just missed the mark for me. I think the anxiety representation in this was really great and I enjoyed reading the discussion that it brought up. However, I didn't love the instalove romance and I would have liked a slower burn overall.

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC!

I loved this book when it came out, I read it in one sitting! So cute, can't wait to read more books from Eddings

I was underwhelmed by this, but I'm excited to read more from Mazey as she continues to write. It felt like a book I've read a million times in a setting that was new but not super ... exciting? If that makes sense.

I can see how this debut is so well loved though!

Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the eARC of A Brush With Love! All opinions in this review are my own.

I DNFed the first Mazey Eddings book I tried to read so I went into A Brush With Love with no expectations and I was pleasantly surprised! In the beginning, the characters seemed very immature, but over time, they really grew on me and I like how their relationship evolved. Eddings describes having anxiety really well and I think a lot of readers can connect to this aspect. A Brush With Love makes me want to give Eddings another chance with the third book in the series!

This was such a cute, unique story. I love that it had a dental student as a main character. That’s not something I feel we see too often, and I’m here for it. I also really appreciate the care Mazey Eddings took while writing this. She wrote Harper’s character with an anxiety disorder that I feel is so well done.

This was such a wonderful debut! Perfectly written with dual POV, we follow two dental surgeon students, Dan and Harper. So much great mental health rep in the book. I couldn't put it down and really felt a connection to the characters. Reminds me of Amy Lea where serious topics are written with care, but there is also laughter and big emotions!

I liked it. The hero and heroine have an adorable meet cute and you can feel the chemistry between them right away. I enjoyed their banter. Both of them felt like well-rounded characters. The anxiety representation in this book was so real that it was hard for me to read.

I feel conflicted about how to rate this book because the romance was amazing and Harper's passion for dentistry was wonderful, but the part about her anxiety felt triggering to me, and the family drama that Dan was dealing with felt like a lot. The writing style was nice and the story flowed really well.

Overall, I think it was a solid debut and I would read more by this author.
