Reviews with content warning for Panic attacks/disorders - This Time Next Year

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The side characters in this book are absolute comedic gold, and the narration in the audiobook only added to their hilarity.

⁕ I didn’t really feel too much for Quinn one way or another, but Minnie’s character development was wonderfully written.

⁕ This book is advertised as a romantic contemporary, but I honestly think the relationship between Quinn and Minnie is more of a subplot that runs alongside them trying to sort out major financial and family conflicts. This isn’t a bad thing, just different from what I expected.

I found this book enjoyable. It was a nice, little romance with a fun look into the character's past New Years Eve.

This was the perfect book to read while holed up at home in the middle of a snow storm. This story mainly takes place in the year of 2020 but flash backs to past New Years Eve's and Days. It follows Minnie Cooper and Quinn Hamilton. Both born the same day January 1st 1990, but Quinn was the first baby born of that year and got all the luck. Minnie was the second baby and was supposed to be named Quinn before Mrs. Hamilton took that name. For years, Minnie thought that there was jinx on her where every New Year's Eve and Day were bad luck for her. Until New Year's Day 2020, she finally meets the man who stole her name, Quinn Hamilton.

This was definitely a slow burn , closed-door romance with so many laughs but also some serious moments that really made you contemplate life. I really enjoyed this book and reading it while there's a snow storm just put me in the New Years mood.

So I really just have to ask, where do you want to be this time next year?

3.0

Well, I wrote a whole thing and it got deleted. Basically: your typical contemporary romance lit + pretty unbelievable relationships with tertiary characters (Do any of them have other friends??? This isn't even addressed. They live in London, they MUST know other people...) + a sprinkle of minor misogyny that was never fully resolved but could GENEROUSLY be attributed to a flawed main character and not the author.

This book was perfectly fine, I struggled to want to pick it up because it felt slow and predictable. I did like role friendship played in the book.
