I absolutely ADORED this book! I wasn’t going to read the whole thing yet (I try to wait until closer to release date) but I was HOOKED from the first page.

The characters! The setting! The whole stinking book was amazing! I will be thinking of these characters (every single one of them) for a long, long time! I hope the author brings them back somehow in another story because I can’t imagine not spending time with them again.

Oh and I totally need that living room. When you know you’ll know.

Overdue was screaming to me when I read the synopsis. I loved the homage to book lovers, the realistic aspect of what dating is like in modern day, and the longing for someone that someone with the uncertainty of ruining friendship. I will say this book was a slooooooooow burn and I also found certain adjectives/descriptions off-putting and even juvenile at times.

One of the best slow burns I’ve romances I have ever read, hands down. This book hooked me on Stephanie Perkins and now I need every adult romance by her ASAP!

The storytelling was stunning, the single POV never felt like I was missing something vital. Being inside I grid’s head was such a pleasure and I loved ALL of the characters in this book. The friendships were some of my favorite parts of reading this. And then, of course, we have Macon. What a darling man! Give me 17 more of him! Patient and full of yearning with a side of grump - yes please. Five stars across the board.

I was so excited to read this book because Anna and the French Kiss is one of my all time favorite YA books! Unfortunately this book really missed the mark for me. The plot itself wasn’t my favorite but that’s just a personal preference and I decided I would keep reading it because I may end up enjoying. Unfortunately the book got to the point where it was very repetitive and honestly I was just bored out of my mind. It took me a week to finish this because I just didn’t even want to pick it up. I hate that this one was a total miss for me. If this author writes another book in the future I will still give it a read but this one was not for me.

Ingrid has been with her fiance for most of her adult life. But with their wedding looming closer and closer they both decide to take a month to take a break. A month to figure out if they truly want to go through with their marriage. Most everyone in Ingrid's life is telling her this is a BAD IDEA, but Ingrid takes it in stride. You see, she's kind of been having some feeling for her co-worker/best friend Macon. But not everything goes to plan and Ingrid is stuck in this weird in between. She's missing Cory, in a weird state with Macon and signing up for dating apps! What will Ingrid actually end up doing?

This was my first book by Stephanie Perkins and I liked it! Overdue was a sweet and gentle book and was giving Emily Henry vibes. I will admit that Ingrid and Macon were a bit frustrating at times. I just wanted them to talk to each other. I get they had a lot of history and it wasn't always easy for them to be on the same page.

Overall, Overdue was a quick read.
