Stuck With You was a really sweet, romantic read that made me go hunting for other books by Aimee Brown.
The characters were so lovable, and flawed in endearing ways. The relationships between characters were beautiful, and that endingwith the big musical gesture made my heart soar.
I would recommend to contemporary romance lovers, especially if you're a fan of the friendship-first trope.

Quick Summary: A Say Anything wo-fi romance
My Review: Stuck With You by Aimee Brown was a sigh and a smile kind of story. It was Never Been Kissed with a touch of Serendipity. It was sweetness and humor. It was hearts and stars. I absolutely loved it!
About the Book: Timing is everything. Jade and River didn't get it right the first time they were around each other. Still, they became close friends. When they faked an engagement, little did they know they would get a second chance at their very own love story.
My Final Say: Oh my goodness, this book was so adorable. It was quirky and brilliant all at the same time. That ending was "Kiss Me" cuteness. Readers who love that famous John Cusack boom box scene will totally fall for this one.

This was a fluffy little fun read - somewhere between a novella and a novel. Light on the tension that we usually see in a romcom, but the banter between Jade and River was really fun and the dynamic between River and his mother was fun too.

A cute friends to lovers romance with lots of romcom classic homages that I enjoyed quite a lot. Good on audio too narrated by Patrick Boylan and Georgina Sadler. This book works as a standalone but it also set in the same New York City universe as the author's last two books, Love notes and He loves me, he loves me not.

Jade & River
Connor proposes to Jade at her 26th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Even though they've only been dating for 2 months, he doesn't know her middle name, or has a ring, she accepts. The next day he's off to medical school across the country and rarely reaches out. Ummm, hello, SO MANY red flags, but she still stays engaged for ages and ages and ages.
River was a funny fella, outfit choice and man bun aside (sorry not my cuppa, but to each their own) and seemed like he'd be a fun guy to hang around, but not too often because he doesn't act his age most of the time. Not the prettiest non date they had, but I liked how when he had food poisoning the author chose to keep it real by having him compromise his pants and needing a new pair

This was a cute rom-com read that had me smiling the entire time. If you are looking for a light summer read with some major 80s influence, look no further. This is the third book in a series, but I read it without reading the other two and did not feel lost at all.
Jade has just had the moment of her dreams happen. She was proposed to! She shouldn't worry about the fact that her fiance didn't know her whole name during said proposal. Or about the fact that he bumped his flight up back to Boston so that he could see one of his friends instead of spending the day with her right? Or the fact that he didn't have a ring? None of that should bother her because she is getting married to the man of her dreams...or is she?
Enter River Matthews. He is a regular at the bar where Jade works. They have chemistry. They ALMOST shared a moment but then Jade met Conner. River has known from the jump that Conner is not who Jade thinks he is. Now his goal is to help her understand what it means to be loved and by the right person.
This is a cute story about a young woman who has experienced some trauma that has made her a bit more vulnerable to putting her heart out on the line (maybe for the wrong person). River takes the time and does the cutest things to help her see how special she is and that what she is experiencing isn't how it should be. I saw some people refer to this as a love triangle but Conner was so detached I don't know if I would call it that. My challenges were with Jade herself. She stubbornly refused to see what everyone was seeing around her. She almost made it a point to prove everyone wrong at her determent which was frustrating. I do applaud her loyalty though at the same time LOL.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book and loved all of the characters. It was a perfect friends-to-lovers romance. Aimee Brown brings a freshness to often-used tropes and this book is another example of that. I can’t wait to read more from Aimee Brown.
