This book was a fun and easy read! I liked the chemistry between Isabella and Blake, and their banter had me hooked from the start. One thing I really appreciated was that every time there was a miscommunication, it got resolved quickly—no dragging out unnecessary drama, which was such a relief.

That being said… if freaking Isabella had just answered her damn phone, the miscommunication at the end could’ve been avoided entirely! That part was a little annoying, but thankfully, it didn’t overshadow the entire book for me. And can we talk about Blake? Because WOW. He wasn’t afraid to show up for Isabella, even when he knew it was leading into a grey area with work and ethics. I loved how he put in the effort time and time again—major green flag.

This was a really sweet "Meet Cute" story, I loved both main characters and thought they we so well developed. If you liked the " The Hating Game" you will love this story. This was a funny Rom Com I could picture as a movie. The story was well paced, with all the feelings, laughter and will having you wanting to hang out at coffee shops.

Amy is not her name but in hurry to get to her new job, when no one comes to get the Amy coffee Isabella takes the coffee and slams into this incredible chest. It was one of those stories, she dreams of telling her kids one day, but all goes haywire when that beautiful chest belongs to her new boss Blake Phillips. She is at a loss for words, and he is grumpy and complicated, and so upset she lied about her name. What was the big deal anyway. But, when the two become friends, because well he is her boss, feelings start and they must decide if their career is worth the risk to take their feelings to the next level.

Thank you to NetGalley and Lynn Kirkle for copy of this book for my honest review.

Witty, swoony, and full of Painter’s signature charm! The banter is top-notch, the romance is adorable, and every page is packed with fun.

As much as I adore Lynn Painter, I just find that her adult oriented books are just not for me. But alas that will never stop me from wanting to read a Lynn Painter book in hopes that one day I will truly love her adult books.

Accidentally Amy, is a cute story. You follow Izzy on her adventure into a new workforce, and just on her first day she runs into, literally, her Mr.Perfect. So spilling her coffee on him couldn’t possibly be the worst thing right? Wrong, he also thinks her name is Amy cuz she steals someone else’s drink just so she wouldn’t be late to her first day of work. And to even make matters worse Mr. Perfect, now known as Blake is also one of her bosses - and is very confused why her name isn’t Amy. Right from the get go it’s just a lump sum of miscommunication. But alas Izzy and Blake form a ‘friendship’ as a ‘relationship’ is not possible with Blake being her boss. Their friendship is very cute and continues to grow, but Blake is Izzy’s boss and they can’t be anything more than friends while they work together. But somehow things work out, but only for a hot second, then we toss in a bit of a twist and turn and suddenly we’ve got more lack of communication and miscommunication going on. Now their entire friendship is on the line, will they be able to work through all their issues and really be able to figure out where and how their relationship play out.

I’ve said it before and not even just for Lynn Painter books, but just as a whole the lack of communication/miscommunication trope is one of my least favourite romance tropes, so this one just really wasn’t for me. It is still a super quick read, and an enjoyable romance. So if this trope is for you then read on, you will very much love and enjoy the story.

As always, a huge thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Berkley for the gifted copy.

This is probably my least favorite book by this author so far, but it was still really fun to read! It combines a bunch of well loved tropes (meet cute, office romance, grumpy/sunshine, friends to lovers) and has Painter's typical hilarious banter. It just didn't suck me in the way her books usually do, and I never really connected with the characters.

Izzy's housemates, especially her cousin and his random games, were so funny. I liked her cat getting out, and the fact that Blake had cats too and named them for the places he found them cracked me up.

My biggest question, and this is coming from someone that LOVES pizza, is how much pizza can a person really eat? It's like every freakin' meal was PIZZA!!! I got tired of it just reading about it.

Still a 3.5, looking forward to more from this author as always!

I have never read anything by this author, but I will be looking out for other books they write in the future. I really enjoyed the story as well as the pacing of the story.

I’ll say 3.5 stars because it was almost 4 stars until she took garbage out of the trash and washed it??? It was cute, but some of the ‘cuteness’ was a bit too much for me. I didn't think her taking all of the things he brought her out of the trash was necessary to show how she felt. There were a few other moments like that that seemed a bit TOO overboard in trying to be cute, but I did enjoy the relationship and how it progressed. I liked that the story flipped back and forth between the two POVs, because it did add to the story and give some insight into where each character was coming from, and it felt like two distinct voices. At first I thought the name miscommunication was going to drag on, and I'm so glad it didn't. I did find his initial reaction to her 'lying' about being Amy to be incredibly over-the-top, even for someone who had been lied to before, but I was glad that wasn't a drawn-out conflict and he was willing to change his opinion based on her actual actions and not just one misunderstanding. I liked that they moved on from that somewhat quickly, and that the true conflict came from their positions at work and the restructuring of the company. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a romcom where the characters have substance and the reader understands why they are drawn to each other.

I will read literally anything and everything Lynn Painter writes because her writing is full of wit and charm. Accidentally Amy was just the same with the most adorable meet cute. The chemistry between these main characters was incredibly wholesome and it was a fun read!

Such a sweet and lighthearted romance with the sweetest meet cute only everyone dreams of! I loved their chemistry together, it felt very natural and believable. Sometimes with romance I don't really buy their interest as much.

These little cheesy romance books can be hit or miss for me, usually depending on my mood. I adored Lynn Painter's sweet romance featuring Izzy and Blake! These two characters have perfect chemistry and will leave you cheering for them. Izzy is a lovable, quirky heroine who steals the show with her charm, while Blake is the dreamy love interest that every reader hopes to find in real life. The meet-cute at Starbucks is adorable, and the story has all the makings of a classic rom-com.

While some readers may find it a bit cliché or cheesy, I enjoyed this fluffy read for its lighthearted and feel-good moments. Painter's writing captures the sweet and tender aspects of romance, making it perfect for a quick pick-me-up or a lazy afternoon read. If you're looking for a fun and cute story with minimal angst, this book is a great choice.

I usually love Painter's books and can say that I liked this one. A bit similar to another book at the begiinning with the mixed up names due to the coffee-stealing, but then off on its own trajectory. I liked Izzy and Blake for the most part though Izzy is pretty much a mess throughout. I would recommend for a light beach read, but pretty heavy on ditz instead of substance. Thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for the early access in exchange for my honest opinion.

Loved this sweet romance by Lynn Painter! Izzy and Blake are adorable characters with perfect chemistry created by Painter.
My only regret is I wanted more! Izzy is a quirky, 'can't help but love' character that you will find yourself cheering for! Blake is a dreamboat who everyone hopes to bump into with their PSL! Great story, great trope.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author, Lynn Painter for an ARC copy of this book!

This one was a pretty average read for me. A meet-cute, set in a Starbucks where she steals someone's drink, so he thinks that's her real name. Except they work together and he find out very shortly after that it was indeed not her name. It was very cliche, rom com vibes and I wasn't mad at that, it's just a cute fluffy read. Some of the dialogue, however, was pretty cheesy. There was also a lot of text message dialogue in this book as well which in moderation can be fun, but this one was a little overboard.

There were still some super cute moments, but it's not a book I will pick up again and will probably forget about by next week if I am being completely honest.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers copy of Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter!

Cute-meet for sure!

Isabella Shay is starting to get worried. She’s at Starbucks, waiting for her pumpkin spice latte, but no one is calling her name. The barista keeps calling for Amy, who just so happens to have ordered the exact same drink. In a split-second decision, Isabella decides to take Amy’s order.

As she turns to leave, she bumps into a very attractive man, spilling her PSL all over him. They start talking, and a connection sparks. But then, Isabella realizes she’s now super late for her first day at work. She hurriedly says goodbye, and the stranger calls after her, “See you tomorrow, Amy.” Oh well—she’ll have to fix the mix-up later.

At work, she’s getting acquainted with her immediate boss when she’s led to the VP’s office. There, she’s introduced to Blake Phillips—none other than the guy from Starbucks. And he’s not too happy to find out her name isn’t actually Amy… or that she took someone else’s drink!

"Accidentally Amy" was such a fun read—exactly what I needed at the time. I ended up really liking both characters and rooting for them to make it work. Plus, the cover was absolutely beautiful!

Cliffhanger: No

4/5 Fangs

A complimentary copy was provided by Berkley via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was soo cute! I love Lynn Painter’s books for their witty banter, lack of drama, and swoony steam, and Accidentally Amy definitely had all of that and more! This is a light, quick read that will keep you smiling until the very end.

This was a fun romance! It was good to read about the history of it, because I was unfamiliar. Izzy and Blake are a fun couple and their chemistry, while not off the charts, is endearing and believable. I think this is a solid romance. Thank you NetGalley and Berkley for this ARC!

This was a quick and fun read! I really liked Izzy and Blake and thought they made a cute couple. I enjoyed all of their amusing text messages to each other and the fact that Blake was a cat dad! I didn't think there was too much to the plot, and there was no real conflict, which is why I didn't rate it any higher. It was cute, though!

Thank you, @netgalley and @berkleypub, for the #gifted e-arc!

Accidentally Amy was a delight. The meet-cute was my least favorite part (coffee shop and he ends up being upset that she picked up someone else's drink bc that means she's a liar). Once we got past that point, the story sparkled.

The banter was top-notch: engaging and clever without being corny. So many lines made me giggle out loud.

I loved how perfectly compatible they were too. And I loved how much he liked her once he got to know her. He was totally smitten and had lots of he-fell-first vibes although technically they fell at the same time.

There wasn't much spice but it still read pretty steamy! How did she do that?? Magic??

Loved it, would read again. 5⭐️

Swoon 💕💕💕💕💕

Sooo - is this book going to change the world? No. But oh my gosh the BANTER! These two characters had me grinning at my kindle like a weirdo because their back-and-forth was just that good! Was the plot super obvious? Yeaaaahhh… but in that cozy way where you're like 'I know exactly where this train is heading and I am HERE FOR IT.' Did I stay up way too late reading it? Yes. Did I regret it? Absolutely not!
