Just Do It

This cover is so cute and I loved getting to read this book. I really love Morrey's writing style and will be reading more of her in the future.

Just Do It by Maxine Morrey was a true delight. Elizabeth is an archaeologist in her 30s who is solely focused on her future in academia until her world is flipped upside down by a wild night out where she meets charming and kind Finn. She’s messy and chaotic. He is organized and calm. But then her one-night fling with Finn turns from personal to professional.

Just Do It was a lovely rom com that made me laugh out loud and didn’t want it to end! 5/5 stars!

"Just Do It" is a delightful contemporary romance novel that explores the themes of stepping outside one's comfort zone and taking a chance on love.

Supported by her best friend Colette, Lizzie finds solace in a night of cocktails where she encounters Finn Bryson—a man who defies her usual type but manages to bring a smile to her face.

The chemistry between Lizzie and Finn is palpable, and Morrey weaves their developing relationship with tenderness and warmth. Despite Lizzie's initial reservations, their connection deepens as they navigate the challenges that come with blending their personal and professional lives. Morrey's writing style is engaging, capturing the reader's attention from the first page and maintaining a steady pace throughout the story. "Just Do It" is not solely a love story; it also explores the themes of personal growth and the importance of embracing change. Lizzie's journey serves as an inspiring reminder that stepping outside one's comfort zone can lead to unexpected opportunities and personal fulfillment. Morrey's vivid descriptions of London and the museum setting add depth to the narrative, immersing readers in the vibrant backdrop of Lizzie's world. Overall, Maxine Morrey's "Just Do It" is a charming and heartwarming novel that blends romance, self-discovery, and the courage to take risks. Lizzie's relatable character and the engaging plot make this book a delightful read for fans of contemporary romance. Morrey's skillful storytelling and ability to capture the complexities of human emotions make "Just Do It" a standout addition to the genre.

This book is one of the most enjoyable, lighthearted and funny books I have read in the last few days! Morrey has created a delightful book revolving around the two characters of Finn & Lizzie who are absolute opposites of each other. Also, I loved Lizzie - or Elizabeth, Finn’s preference - simply because she is so relatable. There are numerous comments, thoughts & actions from her in the book that just kept me giggling all the time (very relatable comments, thoughts, & actions)!

Lizzie is an archeologist working for a museum as curator. She spends long hours working and having her head buried in books. Academia has been her whole world with a goal of becoming lead on a dig. At the moment her ex-fiance has managed to steal away the current chance of reaching the goal. This might appear unfortunate, however it leads to meeting Finn while out with her best friend, Colette (I loved the little drops of French, plus, Colette gets to meet Finn’s best friend Greg).

Finn is a projector manager who ends up working for the museum. The book only gets better and funnier from here - the Christmas scenes ALONE are not only funny but sweet. As the story progresses both attempt to maneuver a relationship when they are so different yet so drawn to one another. Lizzie over thinks pretty much everything while Finn is more relaxed. The more time Lizzie and Finn spend together she begins to see things differently, relax more and in some ways find a different sense of self-confidence.

There are so many situations throughout the book between Lizzie and Finn and as in all relationships both differences & struggles appear at times. The road to seeing if Lizzie and Finn can maneuver those differences and struggles is the best part of reading through the book!

I truly enjoyed this book by Morrey. Once I begun reading I found it difficult to put down. I was so drawn to it & it is now on my list of favorite books. Definitely give this book a read!!!

Another fantastic book from Maxine I absolutely adore her books and style of writing. I loved the characters and how they come together.
A great romantic comedy book to lift your mood.
I look forward to seeing what Maxine writes next.
