Thank you, Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with this eARC!

Booked on a Feeling is sweet, bookish, and swoon-worthy!

Very cute friends to lovers romance. I enjoyed the nods to the joys of reading/books and even the subtle critiques of big law firm culture. I slso thought it was interesting to have the man be the one scared of being heartbroken.

Cute book about two bookish best friends falling in love. The premise is every book lover’s dream. The book can be slow and drag a bit sometimes but it’s a good light read

I DNF this book. I just couldn't get into it, even though I really wanted to. I think it has a great premise and I'll try again in a few months. I will update if I can get back into it and finish it.

A fun best friends to lovers story that I felt I could really relate to the main character. Highly recommend. Great representation of anxiety and panic attacks.

Love a cute bookish book about bookish people falling in love. Thank you to St Martins for the gifted ARC my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was fine, I always think I'll enjoy a romance and often end up disappointed by all the cliches.

This was an awesome read. Fast-paced but still well developed. I loved the exploration of an old friend coming back into your life. I have already recommended to friends!

I LOVE THEM!!!
However, the book felt bland and didn't really expand on details that I would have liked. It was just cute and there wasn't any good banter and this was a slow.... slow... burn. I don't think I would read it again but I would reccomend to a mom book club in the nicest way possible.

I expected more from this book. While it was a fun read, I had more on my mind when reading this. Maybe it could have been expanded more. I did enjoy the characters though, they were delightful to read!

Lizzy is an upcoming attorney, she's itching for partener in her firm. But is it really her dream? Or her mothers? After a public panic attack and huge win, lizzy decides that she needs to take a break. She heads to her best friend, Jack, hometown for a vacation and finds answers to questions she didn't know she had.

I usually perfer an enemies to lovers type story but this friends to lovers trope was very cute! I really enjoyed the setting of Weldon, small town - everyone knows each other - prolific family business with her best friends family. I also enjoyed the asian family inspiration although, I feel like it was only a scratch on the surface. I would have liked to know more about both of the lead characters families and how it inspired their life choices. A lot of this felt really surface level, but I definitely enjoyed my time. The writing was easy and enjoyable to read, I felt like I could read start to finish with no problem.

Overall, I would have liked to get a little deeper but it was a sweet romance. I would love to continue to learn about Lizzy and Jack's love story and hopefully get to know their families and traditions a little more.

I think that this was a sweet book & it was more of a lighter read. I was expecting a bit more but overall it was a great read .

I think some parts were very dragged out that I found myself getting distracted. But it can be that I was having a shorter attention span due to exams.

I need to read the rest of the series but this was a good read & i would recommend it for someone who is in this type of mood.

It's a fantastic book! I was drawn in by the gorgeous cover and highly recommend reading! A very sweet story and a light read for summer.

Loved this friends to lovers story about two childhood friends, both dreaming of a relationship with the other - but separately.

Lizzie, and overachieving soon-to-be promoted lawyer, is not content in her successful career. Her only solitude is her local bookstore. Jack, who helps handle the family's brewery, feels like he should be further along in his career, especially to impress his childhood friend. When Lizzie decides to take a short vacation to visit Jack, hoping it will ease her burnout they discover that they true key to both of their happiness is the other.

Booked on a Feeling by Jayci Lee. Pub Date: July 26, 2022. Rating: 3 stars. Following the theme of friends to lovers, this is a sweet and heartwarming story that is a slow burn. Small town setting with coziness throughout the story makes this a cute, fun book to read. I found this book to be slow, but overall sweet. The multicultural representation was an added bonus. I think everyone can relate to the main theme of this book about taking a chance on a friendship in hopes it turns into a romance and not losing that friendship. Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review. #netgalley

I read this book based on the cover and it having to do with books, as well as it being like the rom com type books I liked. Added bonus, the book starts with the main character as an attorney (what I used to want to be). This was fast paced with some good romance parts and a good overall story. The characters could be slightly annoying, but it may just be because some parts felt very repetitive and dragged out. Overall I enjoyed the book.

Thank you netgalley and publisher for opportunity to read and review this arc honestly.

I really wanted to love "Booked on a Feeling" because I loved everything about the premises. However, I found it really difficult to keep myself reading the book. The prose didn't seem to flow as well to me and I felt like the stakes weren't strong enough. I pushed through to the end and overall it was an okay book, but I didn't feel any super strong feelings towards the characters or for the romance this time around. There were moments when I thought it was getting better and that I could really cheer for the characters, but then it would go back to being just 'okay' and I was left a little disappointed.

Overall, just not the best book by Jayci Lee even though I love childhood friends-to-lovers trope.

I love a good friends-to-lovers trope! The drawback is that it sometimes feels slow and the will-they-won't-they can get annoying. I did appreciate the culture and fluffy nature!
Thank you to Jayci Lee, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!!

I enjoyed how easy this book was to read. I finished it pretty quickly, I enjoyed the journey the main characters went through in this story. I loved the fact that this story had books involved within the story (you know what I mean). Lizzy has the majority of her life planned out until she takes a spontaneous trip to Weldon where she sees her childhood best friend, Jack Park. I really enjoyed how their relationship developed, definitely will be re-reading in the spring/summertime. I recommend to any rom-com lover! This book is more from than com.

Sweet, lighthearted & fluffy childhood-friends-to-lovers read with great food and a bookish smalltown vibe! Overall, this unfortunately fell flat for me, but I do appreciate the Asian American representation and the main setting being a bookstore lol. I may consider reading the first two books in this series and hope that they work better for me than this one did!
