To me, it was the ultimate feelgood read and I genuinely enjoyed it, but I could have done with a little more plot. I don't think this book will really stick with me, but it did what I wanted it to do, which is help me relax after a tiring day. I'm looking forward to reading the Christmas book in December!...more

I'm not a huge reality tv person, but I'm a sucker for romance novels with a reality tv setting, no idea why. And this was exactly as fun as I was hoping it would be. It's honestly the perfect summer read.
I do have two small criticisms: 1. It could have been gayer. It would have been so nice to have more queer side characters, or to have the existing queer side characters fleshed out a little more. 2. The side characters could have been fleshed out more. Most of their interactions with Cass were kind of glossed over, quickly told but not often shown. I get that the focus was on Cass and Ada, and I loved that, but I would have loved to experience Cass's friendships more rather than just be told about them....more

If you know me even a little, you probably know Chloe Liese is my favourite romance author. So I was super happy to get to read this early!
I was so happy to finally read Juliet's story, she deserved to find happiness so much. Will was such a loveable love interest, I absolutely adored him. I think he's exactly what she needed after what she went through in the previous books. It's so lovely to read a story about two characters who fit together so well.
I tend to love "practice dating" as a trope, because it gives space to both funny moments and heartfelt ones. It's so funny how much people can lie to themselves and to see them twist their reasoning to give into their budding attraction.
All in all, I felt like this book was such a warm, feelgood story. I didn't feel like there was a lot of drama, which was just so comforting.
My thing with this particular series is that I think these books work better for me on a reread. I gave Two Wrongs Make a Right 4 stars initially and bumped it up to a solid 5 stars after reading it for the second time. I haven't reread Better Hate Than Never yet, but I think I'll feel the same. And I think the same will happen with this third instalment. Don't get me wrong, 4 stars is a great rating, and I really enjoyed it, but I think it has the potential to be a favourite the second time around. So I'll definitely make sure to reread it at some point!...more

From the first chapter on, I was thoroughly entertained. Every time I read a cosy mystery, I'm reminded how much I enjoy them, and this one left me wanting more. It's so much fun but also full of heart, so you genuinely care about the characters. I'm especially impressed at how fleshed out and interesting the kid character was....more

It was amazing following the same couple for several books, especially spending more time with them after they became an established couple, and it was so rewarding to finally read their HEA.

The author really took her time to tell Aaliyah's story and I was fully invested all the way through. It's an amazing romance full of tension, and I loved seeing them become genuine friends first and exchange so much banter. But it's also a beautiful story about two people healing from their own trauma and finding a way forward together....more
