I flew through this adorable insta-love romance! The banter, the dating "lessons," and the chemistry were off the charts. I also appreciated that I was able to read this book without having read the first of the romance series.
Annie is a sweet girl from the small town of Rome, Kentucky who owns a flower shop and is looking to get married and start a family. Everyone knows her as "Angel Annie;" her sisters and the whole town only see her as this perfect version of herself. Will is a bodyguard for a famous singer, Amelia, who is about to marry Annie's brother, Noah (their love story is the first book of the series, When in Rome); he is seen as a mysterious bad boy who is known for his tattoos and lack of committed relationships. Annie and Will are an unlikely pair, but when Amelia enlists Will's help to teach Annie the art of dating, there are instant sparks that neither Will nor Annie trust. They both have their reasons to be nervous and fear committing to one another, but the more time they spend together, the more they realize resistance is futile.
I loved the romance in this book along with the character growth. Both Annie and Will have traumatic pasts that have shaped their personalities and others' views of them, but, together, they are able to escape these boxes and truly shine as individuals and as a couple.

this was cringe, but in a cute way. annie and will – who never reveals what “will” is short for, damn him! – were perfect for each other. they were two complete opposite people who were wholesome together, had no drama, and communicated maturely. all while finding their true, authentic selves while also taking a risk at love.
also, this is unrelated to the couple in this book but the way james looks at maddie and how annie basically described it as longing? and of course maddie is oblivious to how he looks at her! what’s the story there? it’ll be a perfect reverse grumpy-sunshine best friend’s sister story in the making like hello??? i need their book now.
overall, i had a really good time reading and loved being back in rome, kentucky, seeing old and new faces. i love this smallodd town. hopefully i’ll be back soon.

I loved this even more than the first one! Annie and Will have my heart
At first, I thought Annie was going to be the typical "oh I'm soo introverted, all I do is read romance, lonely in my room" (and I hate those characters!) but thankfully she was not. I admired and felt her desire to grow into the person she really wanted to be not the person everyone expected her to be.
Will <33333 Love this man. I'm usually also not one for the tortured MMC but he was okay 🤭 I love tattoos. Usually, we see the heroine changing her goals, changing what she ultimately wants out of life and relationships, and don't get me wrong, Annie does do that, too!, but here, Will is the one who really realises and "updates" his goals in relationships and it was so nice to see! I loved him embracing who he was 🥹
Overall, this is a story about growing into your own – but not having to grow all alone. And isn't that what we all want in the end?

A great, sweet, wholesome romance where the characters communicate and respect each other at every turn. I would say the spice level is fairly low, just about closed door. I hadn't read the first book in this series and that didn't seem to matter much, but there were a few things that I assume were references to the last book and setup for the next in the series.

Practice Makes Perfect had two essential things going for it that made my heart so incredibly happy!
First: it referenced my favourite Audrey & Fred film of all time. I absolutely adored any mention of it!
Secondly: Annie was such a real, relatable and impossible-not-to-root-for character. I truly felt connected to her and loved seeing her character growth throughout the story.
The romance was sweet and spicier than I’d anticipated, but the banter between the characters really brought it to life and helped mitigate the insta-love that it could’ve been seen as.
I feel like Sarah Adams books get better each time and look forward to what I suspect is the next couple’s book in the series!
