Meg Cabot made me fall in love with reading so I’m always biased with her books. This was a nice light rom-com despite touching on darker topics, well written with likeable characters. Personally I’d prefer it didn’t slot in those darker elements (sexual assault for one), as I don’t think it’s relevant to the plot or fitting with the levity, but at least it isn’t lingered on.

I love Meg Cabot's wit and charm in the other novels that I have read of hers. The insta-romance was hard to believe in this book. It almost seemed like Drew defaulted to being with Bree. He was grumpy towards her at the beginning and too quickly wanted to date her? Not my kind of thing. I definitely prefer more of a slow burn with long lingering glances.

I will preface by saying I love Meg Cabot. I grew up with The Mediator and Princess Diaries series. I love the Heather Wells and Insatiable serieses. I had no expectations beyond a fun, fluffy, romance. No Judgements is not, in my opinion, a good read even for silly fun. As many of the other reviews pointed out, the romance feels like a half-baked “enemies-to-lovers” attempt that never actually fills the expectations of the trope. The tone is a weird mix of fun and hurricane preparedness lectures that no one follows anyway and the setting despite being in the present feels like it throws you back to 2003 by the way everyone around the main character reacts to (spoiler kind of but not really) her experience with sexual assault. It felt like every part of that storyline was a shallow representation of a really deep issue that constantly got trivialized by everyone in an outdated way, including the main character at times, in a way that feels really painfully tone deaf. Sad to say I couldn't finish and really cannot suggest.

Was this book good? No! Did I have fun reading it simply because everyone was so dumb in it? YES!!!
As a native floridian it was so funny that our main character was so unaware and so unprepared for the category 5 hurricane which

did not actually destroy anything really despite it being so hyped up
