If you haven’t met Brittany Kelly’s books yet, brace for charm, chaos, and chemistry.
Brittany Kelly has done it again and created an utterly enjoyable, bingable, and downright laughable read that had me snort-laughing at everything Abby did to get Luke to break up with her—before he could dump her.
And this brief summary of Relationship Goals doesn’t come close to telling you everything, but honestly? Why ruin the fun of a finely crafted, banter-filled book. Kelly has a unique ability to take an idea that sounds like it should tip into farce and somehow keep it anchored in the realm of implausible plausibility. I don’t know what kind of magic she’s using, but it works.
The characters—Luke, Abby, and even the supporting cast—are full of messy, endearing flaws, motivations, and real-world emotions. You’ll cheer them on like old friends. When I finished the final page, it felt like hanging up the phone after a three-hour catch-up with someone I’ve known forever.
Thank you Brittany Kelley, Berkley and NetGalley for sharing this arc with me.
Luke is the perfect grump. Abby’s dreams, wit, and neurodivergence hit close to home for me—I saw so much of myself in her.
I read this book in two sittings because it was not just easy and entertaining—it was written with the kind of care and skill that lets you soar inside the author's imagination. Brittany Kelly is an auto-buy author for me, and this book proves she’s transitioned from indie darling to mainstream standout without losing the presence, empathy, and narrative spark that earned her a place at the top of my shelf.
