I enjoyed this short story. It read quickly. It was a lot of backstory and complicated situations to pull together, so at times I felt the story line was disconnected. Yet, other times the tropes were predictable! But not necessarily in a bad way.

I think this story had a lot of potential but the writing needs some maturing. Considering the characters were supposed to be in their midtwenties (I think) the way they thought and spoke was immature. A lot of the story seemed corny but I did enjoy when he was volunteering with her. I felt like that scene had so much potential but once again the writing was just not it.

Thrifted Hearts is a cute one sitting novella. The characters fleshed out and dialogue between them was great. Thrift shop setting was san ingenious. The story ended well without leaving you like something was missing but definitely taking more if it was offered. Thank you NetGalley and T. Atkins for the AR

If a novella was a made for TV hallmark movie, this would be it.
I loved the idea of finding yourself, giving back, and going against the norms prescribed on you. The romance was cutesy, and read this in one sitting.
For me, the “I’m rich poor me” narrative was a little hard for me to get behind or relate to… and the climax wasn’t really that deep. I think this would have been a 3 - 4 star book for me if it was a little longer and took more time to develop characters and their flaws, as well as made the climax a little juicer.
Overall though, not too bad, I finished it, just wished it was more developed and longer!

I really enjoyed this short little romance novella. My first encounter with this author and I would definitely be interested in reading more by them. I loved Noah and Anna together. I also loved the aspect of Anna volunteering as a way of trying to find herself. The side story of Carter and Jessie was cute as well.

Wow! I was absolutely blown away by what this cute novella managed to achieve in just 75 pages! I needed something short, sweet and funny to perk up my mood today and this was the perfect book. I adored the thrift shop setting, as a person who loves a good bargain, this was right up my alley.
Creating likeable and interesting characters with great chemistry in such a short amount of time is truly a feat of greatness. Anna and Noah were meant to be in every life! I really enjoyed this book and it only took me a few hours to read. If you’re looking for a light-hearted romcom then this is the book for you.
I’ll be keeping an eye out for more T Atkins romcoms in the future.

What an unbelievably cute novella! As someone who loves a thrift store, this was right up my alley.
Anna and Noah meet when he ends up at the thrift store that she volunteers at to find a clock that was donated accidentally-on-purpose by his ex girlfriend. Noah is extremely wealthy and unbeknownst to him, so is Anna. However, she had left all of that behind to find a life that was more fulfilling for her.
This was short and sweet. The pacing was great, it didn’t seem too rushed like a lot of short stories tend to be. Anna and Noah were so cute together, and very easy to root for. Everything you want in a novella!

I received an advance review copy for free from NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Solid 4 🌟
This was an extremely cute, clean, short romance. I liked Anna and Noah. They were really adorable. However, it was kind of weird the whole comparison with the grandma.
Moreover, I didn't find them entirely relatable in their individual arc. Still, for me, Anna's story was more engaging because she felt more active in her search for her own path than Noah's.
I'm guilty of wanting to read more on Carter and Jessie.

This story was so cute. I was drawn in from the first encounter between the main characters in chapter 1. I love that even though this was a shorter novella there still felt like you could form a connection with the characters Anna and Noah. They’re familial conflicts and the way that running into each other changes their mindsets on the future. I am very happy that i got the chance to read this because it does have an important underlying message and that you don’t have to choose between parts of yourself. That anyone will love you for all sides of yourself if they are meant to be.

This was such a cute, short and sweet romance. I really enjoyed it and am glad I found it! I love the idea of the rich giving back even it’s just in small ways. Great read!

Perfect short story! Honestly just bummed it wasn’t longer!

3.5⭐️
Twisted Hearts is a quick, cozy read that delivers the charm of a full-length romance in novella form. Despite being only 94 pages, the story still feels complete, with well-drawn characters and a satisfying emotional storyline. It’s sweet, heartwarming, and enjoyable—perfect for when you want something light yet fulfilling!
Thank you to T. Adkins, Victory Editing and NetGalley for the ARC!

3.5⭐️ 0🌶️ This was such a cute short read. I love a good billionaire romance story and this one had the twist of the main characters not wanting to be a part of "old money" and wanting to good with their trust funds. T. Atkins did a great job putting a lot of back story in to set the stage to end this novella up in a cute little bow! Their friends Jessie and Carter had me laughing as well, and love they also got their HEA!

Cute, sweet and short. A great read when you are in between longer books and just want something quick! I would recommend this to anyone who like clean Romance books. Looking forward to more from This author!

I'm so glad I requested this. I had never heard of this author but I absolutely LOVE thrifting and I loved the idea of having a book that talks about it. That's super unique and appealed to me. For a novella, I would say i enjoyed this from start to finish. I read it pretty quickly because the writing was so easy to keep me interested. This was a super cute, unique, fun read with enough romance and cheesiness to make you smile at times. This was very right to the point and relatable. I will definitely look for more books by this author.

Awww what a sweet book.
Anna and Noah were so cute.
Noah,s ex was awful! What a horrible person.
A love story set in a thrift store ! I love that !
Anna was a lovely character.
Her ex wasn’t great either. Her and Noah hit of so quickly but it worked for the story.
This was a short bite sized story but so sugary sweet and powerful. Enough to give you a toothache how sweet it was but in the best possible way .

The book is sweet! For a novella, it’s like a nice dessert if you want to have something nice and quick. The plot isn’t too complicated but still has this sub plot that motivates the characters and push and pull them into the romance. It’s nicely hits the sweet spot for a novella.
What don’t work for me is simply I got confused about the characters’ age and where all the character knew each other before the story has begun (esp Anna and Taylor, were they a high school friends?). I’ll be really nice it the author gives just a liiiiittle bit context.
Anyway I really enjoy this book!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!
Oh what a fun little novella! It was a very substantial story for it only being 94 pages!
Noah and Anna were cute, and I appreciate how simple the story was, and there was no long drawn out will they won't they.
I really enjoyed that Noah and Anna were able to connect as their true selves, and not feel pressured by their status.

Such a sweet novella. What can I say? I love a meet cute and I love a thrift store! This is definitely the kind of story you can read in one sitting with a warm mug of hot cocoa. I enjoyed the character development between our main characters. I’d love to see another story featuring the side characters as well!
Thank you T. Atkins and NetGalley for the ARC!

I want to thank NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review! :)

This was so cute! I love a good little romance novella that gets straight to the heart of the story. I’m not a fan of drama being dragged on for an unnecessary amount of time — so novellas are perfect for me. I hope to read more of them soon!
Noah + Anna charmed me! Their relationship was so sweet & I loved watching it blossom while they were being the most authentic versions of themselves. I also enjoyed the thrift shop setting! Nicky made an impression on me even though we weren’t able to spend much time with her character.
I don’t want to spoil anything — so I’ll keep this bit brief — but I also enjoyed the side character romance that we received! I would love to read more about them!
The only moment that I wasn’t the biggest fan of was Noah + Carter being soo surprised that Anna invited Noah to a burger restaurant. That felt a little absurd to me? I’m not close with any extremely wealthy individuals, though, so it’s possible that that’s what they’re really like (and I’m just unaware).
I’m glad that there were no loose ends with this one! The threads were all pulled through and completed in a way that felt satisfying. If we get a sequel novella in the future, then I will absolutely be present for it! <3

This was my first T. Atkins book, but I’m excited to read more of their work! This was a great introduction! :)
