This was a great romance, please don't hesitate to pick it up when it's released, I read it in one sitting!! This book was so fun but it is an emotional read! I loved Elijah and Autumn and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters were perfect for one another, I was smiling through the whole thing. I loved the depiction of living with chronic pain (I relate to this and I thought it was executed very well), you do get an insight into how it truly is. I want to read more from this author and I hope this book gets the hype it deserves!

I’m not really sure how to feel about this book yet.
It was intense but also a bit boring, but it also had good parts?
The two main characters are incredible. I absolutely loved both of them. I think my main issue was how their relationship felt a bit rushed. They start as enemies but about 4 chapters after there is always feelins arising for both…
Then the main focus of the book was pretty much dragged throughout the chapters and then the twist happens and it gets “solved” in about 2/3 chapters. It would’ve been nice to get it more developed as the story went on and then end it the way it did.
However, they’re adorable and I really liked the topics spoken in the books.

I did enjoy this intriguing story about Autumn and Elijah. Autumn’s experience with chronic pain serves to flesh out her character and motivations as the story develops. Elijah is a honey with a less complicated backstory and he is quickly entranced by Autumn. There’s a lot going on, and with so few characters I’m not sure how effective the suspense angle is, but it does drive the plot and the relationship forward.

Looking forward to reading more from Kate Callaghan!

Thanks so much to NetGalley for the ARC

Rating: 4.5 Stars

Kate Callaghan's Ms. Perfectly Fine was a very enjoyable book that I read all in one sitting. I loved the main characters Autumn and Elijah. It was refreshing to see something like chronic pain talked about in a romance story in a realistic, non-pitying way, and I thought it was cute how Elijah was the one with plants and his dog. This was just such a great book to curl up with.

I would have like to see a bit more about Elijah's backstory to balance out everything we learn about Autumn's throughout the book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. I will be looking for more of Ms. Callaghan's books in the future.

I don’t know how I missed that it was a romantic suspense story, but I was not the least bit upset by it.

Also: Elijah. Oh my god. I love him.

I’m a sucker for a story where the guy falls first and falls harder. It never misses.

I feel like a lot of romantic suspense stories either lean more towards one side than the other, but this one was juuuuust right.

The topic of chronic pain was treated with love and care by the author, which was so refreshing to see.

This is the first book I've read by this author, but the description sounded interesting, so I gave it a try.
I was pleasantly surprised by this story, there was a mystery, passion, and some true laugh out loud moments.
Autumn is a concert pianist who suffers from chronic pain due to a horrific tragedy in her teens.
Returning to the stage has Autumn nervous but excited, and she's doing her best to get through each day. She lives in a beautiful townhouse, perhaps a bit isolated, but that's how she survives.
One morning Autumn finds her world turned upside down when a stranger is moving into her home. It seems her landlord is providing a temporary home for Elijah, and Autumn understandably freaks out.
The chemistry between them is obvious, but they each have secrets they don't want to share.
Autumn finds herself drawn to Elijah, especially when he witnesses some odd things happening to her.

As the story unraveled, I found myself cheering for Autumn, she is a great character.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an advanced copy of the book.

Ms Perfectly Fine by Kate Callaghan is a captivating and heartwarming romance novel that will sweep readers off their feet. The story follows Autumn Adler, a talented concert pianist, who is determined to make a successful comeback after a tragic accident. However, her plans are thrown off balance when her landlord rents out the ground floor of her home to Elijah Wells, a charming and persistent game designer.

As Autumn and Elijah clash over the ownership of the house, their chemistry sizzles, and their banter is filled with witty comebacks and undeniable attraction. But beneath the surface, there is a dark secret that threatens to unravel everything. Callaghan masterfully weaves together a tale of love, determination, and mystery, keeping readers guessing until the end.

The characters are well-developed and relatable, with Autumn and Elijah stealing the show with their undeniable chemistry and captivating personalities. The pacing is perfect, and the plot is filled with twists and turns that keep readers engaged from start to finish.

Ms Perfectly Fine is a beautifully written romance novel that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you with a smile on your face. It's a delightful read for fans of contemporary romance, filled with memorable characters, sizzling romance, and an intriguing mystery. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a heartwarming and captivating love story.

The characters were perfect for one another, I was smiling ear to ear through the whole thing, every time they interacted I was giggling like a kid.

As soon as I downloaded the book, I started reading it. The cover, the description, the tropes, everything seemed perfect... and it was!

I absolutely loved this book, from the easy banter between Autumn and Elijah to their explored attraction, to her strength in dealing with her pain... it had everything, and it was done beautifully!
The stalker bit was, in my opinion, redundant, especially since Autumn was so dismissive of it! It was the only instance where I thought she was stupid and naive, not behaving like a normal person would.
Despite this, it was delightful to read, and the two protagonists were terrific.


Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
