Meet Me at Midnight by Max Monroe is a swoony, sunshine-soaked rom-com that feels like summer camp shenanigans met enemies-to-lovers magic—and I was so here for it.

Sidney and Asher are the kind of chaotic, bickering duo you root for from the very first page. The banter is top-tier, the tension is chef’s kiss, and the “will-they-finally-realize-they’re-in-love” slow burn kept me grinning like a fool.

Max Monroe nails that perfect balance between laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly tender—just enough heart to tug at your feels beneath all the mischief.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the eARC!

Such a cute book! I love Beau. He may be in the running for my top book boyfriend. This was such a fun read and the warnings were right: I couldn’t put it down, laughed u til I cried, and missed several phone calls!

As the typical shy girl, I love the idea of Meet Me At Midnight. June is filthy rich and could spend all of her time shopping and partying ( like her best friend Avery) but instead she is interning at her best friend’s dad’s financial firm. This means she’s also working closely with her Avery’s brother Beau whom she has a secret crush on. Luckily the firm is testing out a new app to meet strangers anonymously called Midnight. June is able to confess her crush and be bold for the 1st time. It drives Beau crazy that he can’t figure out who his mystery woman but it also serves to build up his infatuation with her.
My only issue was the way June felt like she owed Avery everything for being a good friend when her parents were so shitty. It felt like Avery took advantage of her.

It was disappointing, slow paced, and boring. I have a hard time believing that the MM C would take so long to find out his mystery woman's identity. The best friend was more annoying than charmingly flaky. There is too much time spent on the work story that ultimately no one cares about. The flashbacks were totally unnecessary.

Thank you the authors, Max Monroe, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This is by far my favorite Max Monroe book yet! The MCs, Juniper and Beau, were both solid characters. You don't learn as much about Beau's background but there's enough there to at least understand him. Juniper was neglected by her parents, but found family with the Banks, so there's definitely some conflicted feelings there. The authors did a great job at managing tensions and building up the climax.

My least favorite character was Avery - and I'm slightly annoyed with everyone for enabling her - but I'm hoping to love her when she gets her own book.

Let me start by giving my criteria for a romance novel...because my standards for romance are not the same as my standards for fiction, non-fiction, etc. I want my romance novels with 1) A decent original plot. I will take a plot where "uh oh, there is only one bed"...but then the author better make up for it in other areas. 2) Developed characters. I need characters with depth and not just surface-level characters. 3) I do need a happy ending. I don't want to end up depressed after reading. I expect my romance novels to be lighthearted. 4) No more than 5-10% actual romance. That's just me. So I want a good plot with a little romance sprinkled in. If there is too much, then I feel like the characters have little substance.

So when I read the first line of this book, I thought to myself, too much romance. I mean guns blazing right out of the gate. However, I kept an open mind and kept on reading. I'm so glad I did. This book had an original plot. This book had great characters. I loved June and Beau! I even loved over-the-top Avery. This book made me laugh. This book did not end up having too much romance. Sure, it had more than my 10%, but it made up for it, so that was okay. This book was just super cute, and I loved it. I love the cover. I loved the writing style. I highly suggest you give this a chance. I don't give out 5 stars easily. But this one earned it! Thank you to Max Monroe, Max Monroe LLC publishing, and NetGalley for the ARC.

this was a fun read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for the opportunity to read this arc and I look forward to the publication date

This book said… best friend’s brother AND a secret relationship? To which I answered… uh absolutely, sign me up for the emotional chaos. 😋

Juniper and Beau were so fun to get to know. This book was playful and fun. The banter was so good and the MC’s had really great chemistry. Beau made for the best cinnamon roll book boyfriend. Our girl Juni is absolutely obsessed, and it warms my heart to see her get the love and family she deserves.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read this!

I’m giving this book a 3.9 out of 5! It was good! Fun read with lots of banter but I felt like Avery’s character was insufferable at times. To the point I had to stop reading. And maybe this is just to set the tone for personal growth in a future book but just based on this one it was a lot. I also felt like the line between the personal messages to insta love with the midnight app was insanely quick and it took away from the overall plot. The book was good. It was a cute read and I’d read more by this author! This was just my opinion.

This is one of my favorite books. I saw it on social media at one point and wanted to read it so bad. I finally got to read it and I LOVE IT!!! The storyline is good and I love the banter too!! The love story is beautiful.

This book is a swoony, sunshine-drenched rom-com that feels like summer camp shenanigans collided with enemies-to-lovers perfection. When prank wars and forced proximity push two longtime nemeses together, sparks (and sarcasm) fly in the best possible way.

Sidney and Asher are the kind of chaotic, bickering duo you root for from page one—think: water balloons, witty banter, and an undercurrent of will-they-finally-realize-they’re-in-love that keeps you smiling. Max Monroe blends laugh-out-loud humor with just enough heart to tug the ol’ heartstrings beneath all the hijinks.

If you’re looking for a beachy, feel-good romance that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still delivers on charm and chemistry, Meet Me at Midnight is your perfect summer fling.

3.5 stars. Loved the lifelong chemistry between Beau and Juniper, and that they finally got their happy ending. Avery was a hilarious if annoying bubblehead, but she was really the only supporting character that was three dimensional in this book - the rest seemed like caricatures and could've used a bit more nuance. All in all, this was a fun read with a swoony main couple.

Thanks to max monroe and net galley for this arc.

I thought this was such a cute rom com. I love the chemistry that beau and June have. They were so cute. It’s a slow burn romance. So if you’re into that, you’ll love it!

Midnight Mischief and Unexpected Love!!!

Meet Me at Midnight is a delightful blend of humor, heart, and sizzling chemistry. Max Monroe delivers a fast-paced, enemies-to-lovers romance that’s as witty as it is charming. The constant banter between the Juniper and Beau is laugh-out-loud funny, and the slow-burn tension makes their eventual connection feel well-earned and deeply satisfying.

What sets this book apart is the balance between comedy and emotional depth. Just when you’re laughing at a prank or sarcastic exchange, the story sneaks in a heartfelt moment that hits you right in the feels. It’s a perfect read for fans of flirty fun with a side of feels.

If you’re looking for a romantic comedy that’s both hilarious and heartwarming this book is for you!

This is a four star book for me!

Well done!

I absolutely devoured Meet Me at Midnight! Max Monroe nailed the perfect blend of witty banter, slow-burn romance, and just the right amount of spice to make you blush in public. Juniper and Beau’s anonymous midnight chats had me grinning from the start, and watching their chemistry unfold in real life was pure joy. Juniper is the kind of heroine who has opinions, sass, caffeine addiction, and zero filter—so basically, my spirit animal. And Beau - he's the quiet-hot type who somehow makes texting sexy. They were both flawed, funny, and emotionally layered character who were so easy to love. I loved how their relationship developed gradually, with just the right amount of tension and tenderness. By the time things got steamy, it felt earned, meaningful, and oh-so-satisfying.

Would I recommend this book? Absolutely.
Would I marry Beau if he were real? Also absolutely.

Meet Me at Midnight by Max Monroe is another cute romance story. Lighthearted and fun. Bestfriend's brother trope. Good read but not much of a character development.

Thank you to NetGalley and Max Monroe LLC for this free advance copy. My honest review is below:

Max Monroe books are always a hit! I always tell new readers to only start a M.M. book when they have an entire day that they can devote to reading, because you can't put these books down. This book is no exception!

This rom-com has is all - slow burn, fun banter, laugh out loud moments, and amazing chemistry.

Meet Me at Midnight by Max Monroe was such a fun read! I seriously adored every second of it. The slow burn, the secret crush, and those anonymous late night chats had me hooked. Juniper is hilarious and totally stuck in the most complicated crush ever…her best friend’s older brother, her boss, and her next door neighbor all rolled into one. Beau is charming and totally off limits, but their midnight conversations just keep getting deeper and hotter. I loved all the secrecy, the spice, and the anonymous texting. This book was completely irresistible!

This book was a lovely read, I particularly enjoyed the descriptive language used in it, and how well everything was always explained from everything to clothes to the smells that could be smelt. It felt I credibly immersive which I absolutely adored.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publishing company for allowing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
