Damn it! I didn’t realise the archive date was April and it archived before I could download it :(

Second chances is a romance trope, any chance I could have a second chance to review this book please?

i really think these books should be told alongside Shakespeare in school. they allow so much more angles and thoughts and connection. its not stealing or poo pooing on the original texts because of course nothing could. but it allows even as a starter of getting to know the plot.
but it was also by far a brilliant book on its own without being compared. because it was sweet and funny and chaotic. it was shake worthy because i just wanted everything to be ok. not only for our female main character but also for her romantic life. and i just needed er to stop! and stop right now so the mess didnt become messier. and then all i could think of with trepidation was how this is all going to go to pot when Andy finds out. and her friends arent taking to her meddling and Rosalind herself needs to just press pause, or reboot, or heal or something. she was so real and she had my whole heart because she just needed a big ol'hug.
because of course what could possibly go wrong with an advice column that goes all kinds of wrong. and then texting a man relationship advice whilst being the person hes asking advice about! no no no lol. its too much emotional toil on a reader to keep flipping through to make sure its all going to be ok. but obviously in the best of ways because this book was brilliant.

A Clever, Modern Spin with Heart and Humor
The Best Advice is a charming, smart retelling of As You Like It that mixes mistaken identity, heartfelt drama, and a whole lot of witty advice-column chaos. Rosalind’s journey from confident columnist to small-town anonymous fixer was full of messy situations and real emotions, and I liked watching her slowly peel back the layers of her own grief and bad habits. The mix of modern romance and Shakespearean undertones really worked for me, especially the way it balanced humor with vulnerability. I stayed up way too late reading this because I just had to see how she’d untangle it all.

Dear Gavin: You had me fooled—and I LOVED it!
This book is like a rom-com had a fling with Shakespeare and gave birth to pure chaos. 💌🤣 I was totally obsessed with Rosalind’s double-life drama, the juicy texts, and Andy with his terrible poetry (hilariously terrible). I laughed, I cringed, I wanted to shake her and hug her. Honestly, the whole advice-column-gone-wrong thing was genius and had me rooting for Rosalind even when she was making a mess of everything. If you like witty banter, secret identities, and hot guys who hike, this book is for you. 📝💘🌲

Rosalind writes an advice column. She also meddles in her family and friends and complicates her romance with Andy by giving him advice via txt. Will she be able to control her tendency to meddle?

A new retelling of As You Like it. Cute and funny. Rosalind is charming and Andy is cute. I enjoyed this a lot.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.
