Quick, easy, and fast to read. The writing didn't pull me in. I felt like there was a lot of narrative distance that actively pushed me out and didn't need to be there. For example, all the thoughts are italicized, but then some are followed up with "she thought" ... I hope the proofreader catches for her before release.

5 stars - self-publishing is hard.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kate Callaghan for the ARC.

I have given this book 3 stars as I don’t feel like I can give it a good or bad rating as I have DNF’d for now sadly.

Will I go back to it at some point? I’d like to, but I got about 40% of the way through and had to put it down. I just could not cope with how rude and out of line the male main character is! I’m supposed to fall for this guy by the end of the book? Not with entitled behaviour like that… that’s not for me sadly. The female main was treated like shit and gaslighted from the off and it didn’t sit well with me.

But thank you to NetGalley and the author for a copy of this eBook for review, I wish I could have carried on, but life is too short for book characters that make you angry!

I am not going to lie I wasnt a fan of this book! I just thought too much happened and I was lost half the time. This wont deter me from reading more of Kate's books so look forward to seeing whats next.

This was a perfectly enjoyable romance with a little bit of spice and a little bit of mystery. I enjoyed the read but it was quite a predictable plot- not necessarily a bad thing but I prefer to be kept completely guessing or to have a plot twist. Don't tell me what's going to happen by dropping hints please!!

Overall an enjoyable read with some good didability representation.

i started reading this, but didn’t get quite all the way through… i’m not huge on suspense and mystery books so that’s probably why. but i do think that if you were into romantic suspense/mystery books this would be a great option!

It was a pretty cute read, I loved the characters and the story, but I found the pacing a bit too slow. Also, I'm not a fan of long internal monologues and in my opinion there were quite too much here.

I recommend the book to whom wants to read a cute and funny love story, but not if you want to read something quick and addicting.

It’s fine. It’s cute and a quick read. The writing could use a good sweep by an actual editor as there were many grammatical and continuity errors that were distracting at certain points. The dialogue feels forced and unnatural but I think my biggest complaint is the pacing. I wouldn’t say it’s a perfectly fine read, it’s just fine.

This was very difficult to get into, and did not keep my attention the way I had hoped that it would. The internal monologue for the main character read like an essay, it was just too wordy for me.

It was a very cute concept, and the cover is gorgeous, but it was just not my type of book.

I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this book. I say this because even I was infuriated on behalf of the FMC regarding the events that led up to the forced proximity scenario.

That being said, I found myself devouring the book and couldn't believe the plot twist! This book was a lovely balance of romance, comedy and thriller/mystery!

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!!

I really enjoyed reading this book.
I read it over a few days, and couldn't wait till I got free time to read it more.

This gave me cozy and light vibes making this a perfect read if you need a quick pick me up. Although not as steamy as a lot of romances, this story focuses on its characters and their growths,

Autumn is a famous concert pianist and she is making her comeback after a tragic accident. She has to stay focused, but an unexpected roommate does the opposite. Autumn's landlord rents out the ground floor of her home to Elijah. Both of them stubbornly refuse to move out. As they spend more time together, their feelings start to grow. Autumn starts to receive mysterious gifts from someone from her past. Can they solve the mystery before it's too late?

I really liked reading Ms. Perfectly Fine. It is a cute romance with a little bit of mystery that you don't expect. The forced proximity made it an interesting enemies to lovers story. I liked how there was chronic pain representation. I haven't read a lot of books that have the main character living with chronic pain. The author did a good job of showing this. I was able to understand what Autumn's daily life was like without it overwhelming the story.

If you like a good enemies to lovers romance with a mystery twist, this book is definitely for you!

Thank you NetGalley and CallaghanWriter for a copy of this book in exchange for my review.

I throughly enjoyed this one. This is one that I’ll admit I was drawn in by the cover and the title but the book it shelf was delightful. Both characters were well fleshed out and the plot immediately drew me in. Would definitely recommend

As much as I thought this book was an solid 3 star read, I've got to hand it to the author for her absolutely incredible representation. I think it may have been my favorite thing about this entire book.

Regarding the romance in this book itself, it was enjoyable and easy to read. Despite being your typical romance, it was a good book with mildly intriguing characters.

I quick and easy read that left me with a feeling that I was missing something. BUT even though I didn’t love the book I did love the fact that there was representation in dealing with topics of chronic pain, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. I also really enjoyed the enemies to lovers and the forced proximity trope (one of my all-time favorites).

Generally this was sweet, cute and fun book and I would like to read more from this author.

is a breath of fresh air, especially for its authentic portrayal of chronic pain, a topic that's rarely explored with such depth in literature. As someone living with fibromyalgia, I found the depiction of the condition in the book not just accurate but profoundly relatable. Callaghan’s representation of the daily battles and the external misunderstandings surrounding chronic pain is spot-on, making me feel seen and understood.

The story of Autumn and Elijah, evolving from reluctant housemates to something more, captures the complexity of managing a chronic illness while navigating personal relationships. Their slow-burn romance, amidst the backdrop of Autumn's struggle with fibromyalgia and their shared journey towards acceptance and understanding, adds a rich layer of depth to the narrative.

Beyond the romance, the book weaves in elements of suspense that keep you guessing, with a well-constructed plot twist that feels earned rather than forced. Callaghan’s approach to integrating chronic pain into a story of resilience, love, and unexpected companionship is both commendable and necessary.

In short, "Ms. Perfectly Fine" resonated with me deeply, making it a must-read. Its portrayal of chronic pain is not only necessary but executed in a way that brings both awareness and empathy to the forefront. I’m eagerly looking forward to diving into more of Kate Callaghan’s work.

I started reading this book a long time ago and only read the first few chapters. I didn’t really get interested in the book right away and have read many more in between then so I don’t think I will get back to this one.

I never read the entire thing so it could be a great story!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc!
