challenging emotional funny sad tense medium-paced

Literally why can’t this happen to me I stg

This started off cute, pretty lust focused but enough banter, story and a cute, cursing six years for me to enjoy. After we hit the 50% mark it was mostly spice (explicit and kinky) for the next 15ish% and it was too much for me. I liked how she was a teacher, enjoyed the body positivity and Shay’s friend group. I just prefer less physical/spice focus and more emotional connection.

It's a good book, but honestly kinda forgettable. Read the first 100 pages before realizing I've read it before.
It's fun though, it's romantic and it's cute.

4.5 rounded up to 5/5.

I liked this a lot.
It was unecessarily long at times and the internal struggle of the main female lead became exhausting after a while but seriously it was cute and hot and I couldn’t put it down.

In a Jam is not like most marriage of convenience tropes I have read. Unlike most, Noah and Shay had agreed to keep their marriage to themselves. I also thought it was interesting that Noah resented Shay for part of the book, despite being drawn to her. I thought this was an interesting change to this trope and I enjoyed it.

After being left at the alter Shay inherits her step grandmother's tulip farm and on a whim decides to move to Friendship, RI. Even with putting her life back together, people were drawn to her bubbly personality. Noah was grumpy and had a chip on his should because he used to be heavier and had a bunch of acne, now that his face cleared and he lost weight, people felt the need to mention it or even treat him differently.

These 2 were what the other needed. Shay just wanted to have someone truly love her and Noah had spent half of his life doing just that, without her knowing. Great story!
