 This one gets bumped from “borrow” to “bring” (/buy) because this cover is just too stinkin' cute and I’m fine with that

Look if they didn’t want us to judge books by their covers then WHY HAVE SUCH CUTE COVERS
But anyways - I liked this one a lot (the banter was *chef’s kiss*), but there was a little tiny something missing that moved it down from a 5 star read to a 4. I thought that Adams did a really good job giving both Annie and Will a lot of backstory and making their relationship seem really plausible, and I absolutely loved the communication. Loved it.

Also worth noting that I’ve seen this author recommended as a closed door author, and while that is still true here, it veers a little towards slightly open door? I’m not sure exactly how to describe it, but it’s not a full fade to black - didn’t bother me, but worth noting if you’re going into it not expecting that.

ANYWHO. Still love Rome, Kentucky, still love these wacky neighbors, still love the Walker family and will definitely be continuing with the series!

I am Annie Walker and Annie Walker is me. I felt so connected to this book the entire time I was reading it.

I borrowed this book from the library, and now I want 500 copies for myself. This book was laugh out loud funny and made my smile and get butterflies a billion times.

I loved the quirky small town vibes. I loved the family dynamics. I loved Annie’s job and hobbies.

This book was the epitome of a feel good novel, and if I went on a deserted island and could only bring 3 books, this would be one of them.

Now I’m curious which sister will get the next book. I have a guess… :).

Also, I did not read When In Rome.  And I understood this book perfectly. In fact now I want to go back and read the first book, even though I know how Noah and Amelia’s story ends. 

Ps. This book fades to black for the sexual content.

Sarah Adams’s books are the epitome of sweet, fun, and feel-good reads, and Practice Makes Perfect is no exception. Though the writing isn’t the strongest, it’s so easy to fly through this book, swooning every other chapter.
Though it isn’t strictly necessary to read When in Rome first, I highly recommend it. There are so many references, and the main characters from that book play a huge role in this one.
Annie is easy to love, Will is swoony as hell, and their story is one that will make you smile and squeal while still delving into important, emotional topics. I loved the discussions of grief, the lasting impacts of growing up in toxic family environments, and what its like to have a very set reputation that you’ve found yourself outgrowing.
This was definitely the steamiest of Adams’s books so far! The heat really started to ramp up in a couple scenes, I almost thought it might end up being open door! It’s not. It remains fade to black, and nothing more than some intense making out is shown on page, but I really enjoyed the discussions that were had about sex and relationships. 
I’m crossing my fingers for more books set in Rome, Kentucky (or at least following the Walker family!) in the future.

Charming and tender and adorable, with the small town nosy coziness of Gilmore girls, a tattooed bad boy with a gooey cinnamon roll center, and a flower shop girl secretly longing for adventure. I found myself reflected in both Annie and Will.

I liked it, it was okay. I wasn't 100% attached like hanging on every word though. Just okay, pretty good but not fantastic.
Characters make a deal to help her learn how to date someone and they fall in love, its a little predictable but sweet.
