Love Me Do
If I could describe this book in one word, it would be “cute”. A grand holiday with her sister turns into Phoebe playing cupid between a new friend and her sister’s cute neighbor. The only issue is that Phoebe starts falling for him too. I love this whole Cyrano trope, and the underlying story of appreciating what is around you. It is a good book to get you in the book for the summer. I don’t necessarily have any negative points other than it did drag at at times. I wanted a bit more action / events. It was definitely more of an introspective rom-com. I fear in a couple months that I may forget it altogether as bad as that sounds. I would recommend it, but it isn’t in my top favorites by a long shot either.
*I will say, I still am not sure why this book is titled “Love me do”. I assume it’s cause I must have missed something, but I feel a bit annoyed that I couldn’t tell you why the book is named this. It feels like it should be more obvious?

This book was just okay. The book is definitely on the spicy side which is why I can see how it is popular on Booktok. I liked the premise and the style of writing (which is why I am probably going to read the second book to give the series a chance). I wasn’t the biggest fan of the main characters. Joss is CLEARLY emotionally stunted. Most of the book she is pretty stand-off-ish and and borderline aggressive. I will say, I appreciate the whole therapy arc that she had. Towards the end, she got better which I appreciated, but she certainly was not my favorite character. Braden was also… toxic. He was kind of pushy. I think he matched well with Joss but… it just wasn’t super healthy. They both needed therapy honestly (not just her). I will say I liked the side characters, so it is possible for the author to write more than just assholes.
If you like spicy romances set in Scotland about with the best friend/roommate’s brother trope between those who need therapy, this is for you. If you don’t like any of that except maybe the Scotland part… this book is probs not for you.

I cannot put into words how much I loved this book!! The premise was very unique. It’s very rare for me to read a romance where the couple are together from the very start yet hate each other and want to end it. Normally, its either a second chance romance (where they have broken up) or they are enemies and later get together. Safe to say, I was hooked from the very start.
The characters are also really well-written. You both love and hate them at the same time. Its also really cool in that you get this view of the characters when they are at their absolute worst. It’s so much harder to like them, but you DO end up loving them so much at the end. You love them despite their flaws. Plus, the growth that both of them go through is really sweet and encouraging.
The comedy and banter in this book is also elite! It is very rare that I find a book that has me laughing the whole way through. I literally couldn’t wait to find out what prank that they were going to do to each other next. I was also surprised (and delighted let’s be real). The way that it is all written makes it feel more like I am watching a rom-com than reading one. It felt very immersive.
Overall, I cannot recommend this book enough! It’s so funny and cute! I will definitely be buying this the first chance I have.
