Booked on a Feeling by Jayci Lee is such a cute story! The love interests were amazing, and I really enjoyed the chemistry between them however, the lack of communication between the characters did get a little frustrating for me.
I love a book that surrounds my favourite things — books and love! And this book had both and was absolutely adorable! A good read!
As a known friends to lovers critic, this story captured my heart with it's earnestness and sweetness. I am a sucker for a small town setting and even more so for books that happen in a bookish setting. Some of the emotional moments I felt like were cut short or could have been flushed out more. I was close to 4 stars with this one, but feel it truly feels more in the 3.5 range.
I was really looking forward to this book. I really enjoy books about bookstores and readers. However, I wasn’t a huge fan of the romance tropes included in this one.
It was cute but the answer seemed obvious the whole time.
Thank you to Net Gallley for the advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for reading and reviewing.
I love a good story about someone who thinks they have their entire life planned out, only to realize they have been chasing the wrong dream. There is something about adulthood that makes you question every decision you have made so far, and it’s always fun to see a character rewrite their ending!
I am also a sucker for a friends to lover story, especially one with friends who have been friends for decades! How sweet! And the bookstore side story was also a great addition. While I will say this story was lacking something I can’t quite put my finger on to make it a great romance, it was an enjoyable, cute, quick read.
Not my favorite but definitely a good book. Pacing was a bit out of order but nothing too detrimental, it was still a fun read. Love a childhood friends to lovers and especially love a tough female main character.
Unfortunately this one just didn't work for me. I've liked other things by this author, but this one wasn't for me.
There was a lot going on in Jayci Lee's BOOKED ON A FEELING, but personally I found it a really enjoyable read! The "failing bookstore" aspect was also so fun as someone who loves to read books about books -- overall, a solid romance!
I don't know if i liked this book or didnt like this book. maybe i am indifferent. I read the dating dare and gave it one star so maybe i set myself up for not really enjoying this one.
Such a lovely, sweet romance! Loved the characters right from the jump. Feel good reading at its finest. Friends to lovers, small town romance <3
I really enjoyed this book. I love reading romance to break up the thrillers/fantasy I read and this was the perfect book for that. If you’re looking for a quick easy read that’s sure to get you out of a slump, this is it!
Booked on a Feeling by Jayci Lee seemed like something that I would have really enjoyed when reading the synopsis. I am such a fan of friends to lovers and, obviously, books and reading. Unfortunately, I DNF’ed this book at around 35% in, for a few reasons. One, I could not connect with either of the main characters, especially Lizzy. In fact, as my second point, I would say that Lizzy irritated me to the point where I wasn’t rooting for her. I also got a third of the way through and nothing had really happened yet. Overall, while I don’t think this is a poorly written book, I just don’t think it was for me.
This romance just was not for me. I felt like there was just not that much keeping my eyes glued to the page. Sadly, I had to DNF this one as it just did not capture my attention and my more recent romance reads have been quite duds. I truly wanted to like this one but I also did not want to put myself into a slump.
This was cute and right in the romcom lane. I liked the overall story and the relationship between the mmc and his siblings.
I was really hoping I would love this book cuz of of the bookstore setting but it was a miss for me! Friends to lovers is not usually my fave and this was lacking in the backstory and I didn't like the third person writing b.c it didn't really connect for me. But overall it was a cute, easy and bit predictable read!
I'm a sucker for a second-chance friends-to-lovers romance because my own relationship is an example of one! However, this book unfortunately didn't live up to my expectations.
I am very thankful for a chance to read this book. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters were very likeable, but the sexy scenes were a little cringe. Overall it was a good book and I would definitely recommend it to other readers.
The writing style was good and I flew through the pages.
Still, even if the chemistry between the two MCs was good and their reasoning for not acting on their feelings made sense at time, after a while all the miscommunication (or the lack of it) and “will they or won’t they” agenda started to get on my nerves, and I just wanted them to find the way to each other and be over with
This book is a lighthearted rom-com with the romance trope childhood friends to lovers. It follows Lizzy who is a lawyer and Jack who works at his family's brewery.
I really wanted to read this book because of the cover and title. But I thought that I would enjoy this book more than I actually did. I am not a big fan of third person pov books but I didn't know it was third person until I started reading it. So if you like romance books in third person you should definitely read this.
It started off super slow and I had no idea what was going on in the first chapters because of the law firm stuff. I found myself bored during this book many times and I thought it was a cute read but it was very predictable and it had the potential to be a lot better.
I didn't feel a connection with any of the characters and in Lizzy and Jack's relationship there was no build up or growth at all in it. I feel like I could have connected and related to the characters more if there was more background on their friendship over the years and when they were younger as kids.
Although I did not enjoy this book as much as I thought I would, you could have a very different opinion.
Read this book if you like:
-cute rom-coms
-childhood friends-to-lovers
-3rd person pov
Thank you to Netgalley for sending me an ARC.
