I loved this book, it was really cute. The chemistry between the main characters was great. I'm not big on the college setting books but this one was pretty good.

This was my first time reading Night Shift and it was everything I was hoping for🥹🩷. It’s been a while since I’ve felt so connected to a character. Kendall is witty, clever and a sucker for romance books😉; which in return brings relatable and comedic scenarios.

As for Vincent, what can I 𝘯𝘰𝘵 tell you about this guy?😍🔥. He’s handsome, charismatic and very humorous. He might not be a good poetry analyst but he sure is good at basketball and other things…😉

Annie Crown has a fantastic way of storytelling✨. She really knew how to translate all of those random thoughts that we–romance readers–have. I found myself constantly chuckling with irony because 𝘐 felt like Kendall was 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 reading my mind😂. I was like “wait, I’m not the only one who thinks and does that?”😂. You can say I had a good laugh reading this book.

In conclusion, Night Shift is the perfect book for those in search of reading a cute, funny, spicy and relatable romance🔥❤️

‘A sweet encounter between a bookworm and a basketball player turns steamy in the stacks after hours…’ Beautifully written, lighthearted college romance I’ll definitely be returning to again and again. Characters were relatable and well developed making it an easy read.

I ATE THIS BOOK UP. Read it in one sitting. I could not put it down. It was spicy and entertaining. I love the instant connection the main characters had.

So cute, so fun, so steamy, and overall such an enjoyable read! Really looking forward to reading more from Annie Crown. Thank you so much to WATTPAD Book Group for the advanced e copy in exchange for an honest review!

I received an advanced copy of Night Shift by Annie Crown from the publisher Wattpad via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

What It’s About: While most of her friends like to party over the weekend, Kendall Holiday works the graveyard shift at the library on Friday, and likes it, she doesn’t have too many people to help and she can read her spicy romance novel. But that changes one night when Vincent Knight, the captain of the basketball team, shows up with an injured wrist, bad attitude, and a demand for poetry recommendations. Yet, they have immediate chemistry and Kendall finds herself quickly in her own romance.

My Thoughts: Genuinely, I found this book to be forgettable. There was miscommunication that caused anger, but then discussions, then repeat. I still think this counts as a miscommunication trope because before communicating, there is a conflict. The female main character is a huge book reader and I should have loved it but the ability for her to constantly classify her tropes and her interactions, while meta was tiring. There’s lots of sex and I don’t mean that in a bad way, but this book is smut and if that’s what you’re looking for it could work, but frankly I think there are better examples of book lovers in romance and smut.

Who Should Read It: People who don’t mind a cheesy book and are eager for smut.

Summary: An instalove book that plays into all the tropes

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the main character and how she got in her head about the whole situation. It reminded me so much of me and my ability to overthink everything. The scenes with her and Vincent flirting were great. The last 25% of the book was just not quite what I was wanting from it. It wasn’t bad and I didn’t dislike the ending, but I just wanted more of a deeper conn action written in words alongside the physical connection. I knew it was there, but I wanted more! It was still overall a wonderful book!

This was a fun read. It was cute and a bit spicy and kept me entertained. The premise was simple enough and the book delivered just that - quiet, bookish girl who loves romance novels gets to know the captain of the baseball team and slowly falls in love. She basically lives her very own romance novel.

This is a fun quick read. A simple palate cleanser for me.

Thank you Wattpad WEBTOON book group for the eARC. All thoughts are my own.

The cuteness of this book outweighed just how fast things moved. It did feel a little heavier on the smut, but it was done in a necessary to the plot way. Good light fun read.

This was a fun, light "new adult" story that was enjoyable and easy to read. Kendall a bookworm who loves romace works the night shift at the collage library. Vincent the hot, star basketball player comes in needing some help with poetry. This meet-cute sets off some insta-lust with a make out session the first time that they meet.
From there the miscommunications and misunderstandings don't stop. I thought this was about to be a "She's All That" retelling. But then you just figure out that both MCs won't get out of their own ways to try to build a relationship with each other. I had a real love/hate with the FMC.

But when they are finally together it's cute and sexy. Except, who chats that much while getting it on?! The spicy scenes were hot but also kinda clumsy and cringe. But I knew it was about a college age couple going in, so I guess the awkwardness is kinda legitimate.

Overall it was a fun, light romance that lived up to the Wattpad name. I would probably reccomended it to someone much younger than me though. Lol

Thank you to Wattpad Books and Netgalley for my review copy.

Thank you @wbywattpadbooks @netgalley for the free review copy!

📖 Kendall likes to spend her Friday nights working at her university’s library, reading spicy romance novels. When basketball star, Vincent, comes in one night, Kendall finds herself falling head first in her very own love story.

💭Honestly, this one was not for me. I would have DNF’d it, but I’m doing a reading challenge this month and wanted the points for finishing the book 😂. This is a new adult book, but I found the characters to be very immature. I kept having to remind myself that the characters were adults and not kids 🤦🏻‍♀️. The miscommunication trope is big in this one, which really bugged me. So if you don’t like that, this one won’t be for you either 😂.

This was a really fun read! It was a perfect palate cleanser between two long, intense books. Short and sweet (in a good way), enjoyable and easy to get through. I was really rooting for the main characters and enjoyed their love story lots! I think this book would be good for a wide variety of readers. There was a fair bit of spice!

Thank you NetGalley & Wattpad Books for an ARC of Night Shift in exchange for an honest review.

When I first started reading the book, I found the constant mentioning of the miscommunication trope irritating, especially since that was its main trope. As I kept reading, the mention of other tropes throughout ended up growing on me and I thought it was cute.

This bookworm librarian and basketball captain match up was fun to read about (I've been really enjoying sports romance lately!). Although the MCs were charming, I felt their characters were lacking depth. It was like I didn't really know much about them outside of the surface level introductions we're given at the beginning.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Night Shift and would definitely check out more works from Annie Crown. A solid 3.5 (rounded to 4) stars!

One last thought - damn, I can't escape the mention of T Swift anywhere!

This book had some really good bones but I did get frustrated with our main girl!! She constantly back tracked and her lack of trust really got annoying. And for a character who hated the miscommunication ... there was much of it... it was ridiculous! It was spicy though and the narration was good!

"I don't read romance novels for the realism. I read them because they make me feel seen and heard as a women. They let me explore my desires--both the ones I'm proud of and the ones I clear from my search history--and they've taught me who I am and what I want"

Night Shift is a cute, sweet, fluffy, at times funny, quick romance that serves as a palate cleanser. It's one of those books you don't remember much except the spicy scenes and the feeling it gives of contentment and enjoyment. I just know my sixteen-year-old self would've eaten this one up! As a thirty-year-old, it's still entertaining and perfect for a cozy reading night.

Very sweet coming of age story. Even as an adult I enjoyed this, it gave me a throwback to my teenage years.

This was a cute read that served its purpose in taking me away from the real world. I enjoyed the story and the character building was great.

The chemistry was off the wall, and this was a super cute romance for new adults that I felt would speak to a lot of emerging adults!! I loved the characters so much, and fell in love with them falling in love. I thought this was such a good romance, and it had me swooning chapter after chapter.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A super cute and easy read.

This did read a bit like a typical Wattpad romance novel in some places, but I do think it was super cute. Not to mention easy to get into - it took about 2 hours to read from start to finish. A great way to spend Christmas Eve at the reception desk!

Thank you to NetGalley, Wattpad Books, and the author for allowing me to read an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

“Reading is so much fun, but I’m tired of feeling like all the best parts of my life have been lived inside my own head.”

I love this book because it says the quiet part out loud. The awkward, insecure and unsure movements of your first time—and first love.

It’s a journey from page one to the last about sex, girlhood and finding yourself while also discovering new parts of yourself that you’re unsure of how to exactly master.

As someone who’s felt a lot of these thing, I felt seen.

The insecurity of a first time, the asking questions and not wanting to “fuck it up.” It’s all there on the page, every single awkward conversation and encounter.

Loved this on Wattpad and love it now.

And Vincent if I ever catch you on the streets I’m kidnapping you and duplicating you in a lab because you’re unreal.

Ok bye.
