This one was not a hit for me. I liked the characters generally and felt they were real and adult in a way that was relatable. But the plot such as it was just moved too fast.

You’re So Vine was a simple, easy read. It follows Ava and Cam, an opposites-attract pair as they navigate being together through life events and family drama.

I liked that the main characters were seasoned adults and had atypical personalities from the romance genre. Cam is a simple man who doesn’t need much and is dealing with his past, while Ava comes from a wealthy family and has always been able to follow her passions.

I was slightly disappointed in the plot, though. It happened very quickly yet wasn’t very clear. It does not have much of a beginning, middle, and end- just a continuation of the same until the whole story changed the last ten percent of the book. I do think that the foundation of it has lots of potential and will definitely follow this author to see what else they come out with in the future.

The novel is a breezy, feel-good romantic comedy that takes place in the enchanting world of a vineyard, which immediately sets a picturesque and romantic backdrop for the story. The characters chemistry is palpable and their evolving relationship is filled with moments that are both tender and hilariously awkward. The witty banter and comedic situations were a highlight for me, making the pages practically turn themselves. It is a perfect pick for anyone looking for a romantic escape filled with laughter, love, and a dash of adventure.

I am sorry to say I really struggled with this book. I loved the premise of the book and the cover looks so fun. However I could not finish it. I got 40% of the way and found I could not bring myself to continue. The first chapter featured a huge about of name, info and character dumping that It was so hard to keep up with who is who. I found the inner monologue of Ava very pessimistic and too sarcastic. I can see what the author was trying to achieve with a quirky inner monologue who cracked jokes but it became really hard to continue with after a while. I did not feel that much of a connection the main characters and struggled to root for them to get together.
I found the writing style too conversational and did not have much depth to which made it an easy read but not as enjoyable as anticipated for me.
Apologies!

Well, I believe the entirety of Romeo and Juliet took place over 5 days and I so maybe I have to suspend belief in the same way for this novel. Shakespeare it is not, and maybe this will be a relief for some. So you will see by now my big gripe was the way time sped up in all areas of this novel. It wasn’t unenjoyable but this irked me somewhat.

3.5/5 - I really enjoyed this story. Cam and Ava are really sweet. I’d have given this extra stars but felt the story was rushed at times and I was left wanting more. Would definitely read more by this author!

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The first book of this series was a cute romance, with not much development, but overall a nice time.. This one on the other hand, felt so forced.

An entire book about discovering if she was sick or not was just not ok.

I'm not even commenting that the story of the first and second book have basically the same outline... so this is not getting a 1 star purely because I'm stubborn.

We didn't dive deep into Cam's life story or even what made Ava the way she is, the romance was forced, and to be honest they're not my favorite couple.

Starting at a wedding is so fun and I really liked Ava and Cam together! Cam is such a handyman in the best way *wink**wink*

You’re So Vine was not for me. I do try to be as open as I can about the types of rom-coms I read, but I never have been able to get into fastburns. That is really my one issue with the book. This is entirely to my personal preferences because there is nothing wrong with You’re So Vine. I would be interested in reading other works by Catherine Robertson because based on her writing and excellent music taste, I imagine she has something I would enjoy reading, but this one just isn’t it for me. I will leave this one for those who want a more fast-paced romance.

In "You’re So Vine," Catherine Robertson delivers a delightful and heartwarming romance that will leave you swooning. From the moment Ava Durant sets eyes on Cam Hollander at her brother's wedding, she knows he's the man of her dreams. The only problem? Cam is the epitome of the "strong, silent type," and getting more than a few words out of him at a time is a challenge.

But when Ava's health takes a hit, it's Cam who steps in to nurse her back to health, and the dynamic between them is forever changed. Despite their differences—Ava's impatience and Cam's steady nature—there's an undeniable spark between them that quickly ignites into something more.

Robertson crafts a charming and witty tale filled with humor, heart, and plenty of sizzling chemistry. Ava and Cam's banter is both entertaining and endearing, and watching their relationship unfold is an absolute joy.

But "You’re So Vine" is more than just a romance—it's a story about healing, growth, and finding love when you least expect it. With its lovable characters, witty dialogue, and steamy romance, this book is sure to capture your heart from the very first page. If you're a fan of feel-good romances, you won't want to miss "You’re So Vine" by Catherine Robertson.

This was a fun romance and a very quick read. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you NetGalley for the chance to let me read this one

You're So Vine, by Catherine Robertson, is a fun romance novel. For me, it seemed very rushed. They meet, and in 24 hours she is contemplating if there is room in his tiny house for both of them to live and thinking about their future. There was enough happening in this book in a few days to cover a year's worth if it had been more developed. It definitely wasn't boring, just felt rushed to the point of not being believable. Thanks, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me with the ARC ebook I read and reviewed. All opinions are my own.

Follow up, loved it. Did i said i loved the first one, this ones was as good or more, fun and different, cute rom com . Will keep reading this series for sure

I truly believe this is one of the worst rom coms I’ve ever read. Slight spoilers ahead, but you need to know these things.

The FMC asked out the MMC before the book. He turned her down. She goes up to him at her brothers wedding, they dance, she faints, emergency room, she then stays with him, sex, the next day she’s talking about their relationship - honey what relationship?! YALL BARELY TALKED GOOD GOD.

I made it to 50% then skim read the rest bc I could not deal.

Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in échange for an honest review.

So overall I enjoyed this book, but the timing of the story felt a little off. I don't know if it felt rushed and that made it a little choppy, but I still enjoyed it!

Cam and Ava are both adorable. They have issues, they have strops and they have jealousies, but that is all made real by the author. The worry over a friend too close to the one you love, the worry over tests to see why you are so tired and the worry over a diagnosis of terminal cancer. The book is beautifully written, with the emotion running through the pages and really capturing the feelings and especially the hurt of Cam and Ava. The dual point of view is well told and bouncing the story between two people with concerns and pain helps round out the book and kept me hooked.

"You're So Vine" had promise, but its rapid pace left me wishing for a slower unraveling of the story. While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell short, resulting in a somewhat disappointing experience.One of the biggest drawbacks was the breakneck speed at which the plot unfolded. I found myself yearning for more depth and detail, particularly in the development of the romance. It felt rushed and lacked the necessary buildup, with the characters already together by the 25% mark.Additionally, the ease with which the protagonist's family trusted the love interest to take her home after a hospital visit felt unrealistic and detracted from the authenticity of the narrative.In summary, "You're So Vine" possesses an interesting premise but suffers from pacing issues and underdeveloped elements. With a more measured approach to storytelling and deeper characterization, it could have been a standout read.

Sorry, this book was not for me. The storyline felt choppy and unbelievable with the book only spanning a few days. The jealousy, the pining, the I thought I lost you, seems really silly after such a short period of time. The more "intimate" scenes seemed disjointed and rushed. I thought about putting it down several times, but finished it.

Overall, not one I would pick up again and not one I would suggest to people as a first choice.

Thank you HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter and Netgalley for this ARC. It just wasn't for me.

I love when romance authors tell the stories of all the family members, this was a good way to tie up the romances that were hinted at in the first book! Loved all the added family relationships and interactions! It was so vine!!!!

This book was cute but I was surprised how quickly these two people fell in love. The writing was done well but I feel like there could have been more editing to make the story flow more smoothly and make sense. Overall, it was enjoyable and quick and cute and fun.
