Solid debut, a feel-good story about a single mom of three, who is still on her journey through grief, yet life goes on and to make ends she agrees to host a student from the US, who turns out to be actually a grown-up, attractive man.

Not everything worked for me in this book – I expect the heroes of my age to be more mature and capable of communication among them, therefore, the third act breakup felt a bit flat, and I’m not sure Dan earned the right to be with Cath, I think he should have worked harder, not just grace everybody with his appearance at a certain moment. Still, I found Cath and her life very relatable and honestly depicted, especially the mom part, and though sometimes she was annoying, a bit judgemental and stubborn little cow, I fell in love with her as much as her adorable children.

Writing is great, grabs attention from the first page, there were some pacing issues in the middle of the story, but in general, I had a really good time reading it. So if you are into self-deprecating humor, socially-awkward, geeky characters, opposites attract and forced proximity tropes, you should give it a chance.

Thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for the eARC in exchange of an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and One More Chapter (HarperCollins UK) for the advance reader copy.

I thoroughly enjoyed the accident prone, awkward life of Cath, her family and her new lodger.

This was an easy read with a a good amount of struggles that come with adult life.
The side characters are great and fleshed out enough that you don’t feel rushed with their parts in the story.

Overall a fun book which also touches on family dynamics and losing those you love.
I would recommend for romance readers.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed reading the accidental housemate. The author writes very well, truly engaging characters and writes from a new and fresh perspective of life, grief, and love after loss.

Thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to review this wonderful book.

Review:

This was a funny, pacey romantic comedy. Easy to read and fill of laugh out loud moments.

The perfect strangers to friends to lovers trope. Full of funny banter, great female characters and a great storyline

A fantastic read

Absolutely fantastic plot! Could not put the book down once I began reading it. Cannot wait for it to be released. Will recommend it to everyone I know!

I knew immediately just by looking at the cover I wanted to acquire this for our location. I will be sharing full thoughts and a review soon, but from the first page I was laughing out loud and I’m not even a mother yet. The dialogue was so fresh, funny, and relatable. I also love the unique concept as well. I think we will definitely having this as a book club pick at our location.
