They’re cute in a vanilla kind of way. Like I barely got any chest pains or super strong feelings towards anything that happened in the story.

I still stand by my statement that the second instalment of any series will never live up to the first one. I loved the first book and I’m glad to get a bit more Noah and Amelia from this book but I still preferred their story over Annie and Will’s.

Just as cute and flirtatious as its predecessor, When In Rome, but more grounded too.

I really enjoyed this book! I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting. Sarah Adams has become one of my must-read authors. I thought the story was very cute, sweet, light and fun. It’s a great beach read, sitting by the campfire read, lying on your couch trying to beat the heat read. I’m a sucker for all the tropes: fake dating, friends to lovers, grumpy falls in love with sunshine, small town romance, dating coach and opposites attract.

Will is one of the best book boyfriends I’ve read. He’s handsome, fun, respectful, willing to communicate and not only encourages Annie’s love of pirate romance novels, but gets into them himself. 

I really relate to Annie: introverted, shy, sometimes socially awkward, emotional and wanting an emotional connection with someone, not just a casual thing. Annie is able to be comfortable with Will in a way that she’s not with anyone else. 

There is a loveable cast of supporting characters, even when they are being nosey nellies. 

Practice Makes Perfect is the perfect summer read. You will turn the last page with a smile on your face.

I think I enjoyed this second book just as much as the first! I loved the sibling relationships and friendships between young and old in this glimpse at small town life. The romance between Will and Annie was so sweet but bold enough to help Annie break out of her shell. For two people who had trouble communicating with those closest to them, it was really endearing to see how they could communicate with each other. I loved the hints at a third book in the series and can't wait to read it!

"I’d say that I regret the things I never said way more than the things I have said. If you love him – be honest. With yourself and with him."

I saw sooooooooooooo many good reviews regarding this book and after researching on it, I realized it was the second book of a series so I had to read the first book just so I could read this~! And I'm so happy that I was able to read this because it's such a good read, although, I wasn't able to read this continuously like how I read When In Rome because life became hectic, meaning, I wasn't on vacation anymore. 

This book is for the introverted girls out there who are scared of being themselves when you go out on a date with guys (or simply just talking to guys). I resonated with Annie on a different level and not just because we have the same nickname, Anna Banana, but because she's the youngest child in the family and everyone just thinks of you as such - the youngest. Although to be honest, mine is also connected to my height, that's why people think of me as a child, sadly. This book simply tells girls out there that you don't need to be somebody else for you to find your significant other because your significant other would love you just the way you are - however cliché this is. 

Annie is a small town girl who just wants simple things - a family like what her parents had. She simply just wanted a husband who wants children and would stay in their little hometown. But how could this be achieved if she doesn't even talk to boys, much less, date them? Then comes in Will, Amelia's bodyguard - oops, executive protective agent, who was somehow fell into Amelia's trap to help Annie be a datable girl. It's another cliché story about a ladies' man together with a virgin girl but that's what makes it very exciting. Getting into Will's head is the cherry on top. You can see him fighting with himself to get as far away from slipping into having a romantic relationship with Annie. This is why I love dual perspective, you can see both sides of the character and can judge them more based on what comes into their minds. 

Their relationship somehow started from being friends to lover because they definitely had friendship vibes at the start! They were helping each other out, even subconsciously. I also love the little hint about Madison and James' relationship which might be the next and third book of the series. Overall, it's such a cute book and definitely a good way to pass time!

If you’re looking for the perfect laugh out loud rom com, this is it! Y’all, I loved this book so much. Like LOVED! Annie was such a relatable character and the vibes between her and Will were immaculate! My favorite thing ever was Annie’s many names for what “Will” was short for. SO funny & cute! 

Read if you enjoy:

🌸 small town
🌸 fake dating
🌸 friends to lovers
🌸 cute banter
🌸 “bad boy” mmc

This one is what I’m going to call a “cracked door romance” (Is this a thing? 😆) I say that because I think it’s technically open door, but it’s not super descriptive or spicy. 

I definitely recommend this one! The only reason I couldn’t give it a full 5 stars is because I could have used a bit more from the ending.
