Ihan sujuvaa, kevyttä rakkaushömppää nuorille. Ja miksei meille vanhoillekin.

3,5 ⭐️ Ce livre était hyper cute et m’a rappelé un peu Dash & Lily avec en arrière plan New-York qui est bien présent, ce que j’ai fortement apprécié. Les personnages étaient agréables, mais point négatif l’histoire est parfois un peu trop loufoque à mon goût, ce explique ma note !

'Kiss Me in New York' by Catherine Rider (a pseudonym based on the dual effort of authors James Noble and Stephanie Elliott) is a story that will capture the magic of the holidays in but a few short hours of plot. In some ways, the thought of two strangers meeting and spending a day and night together roaming the city of New York, only to potentially fall for each other, seems unrealistic and, at best, moderately ridiculous. Yet 'Kiss Me in New York' finds a way to do anything but trivialize the relationship between London-bound Charlotte and New Yorker Anthony.
Reeling from breakups by their respective romantic partners, they find themselves thrust together at the airport, trying to fit the pieces of their lives back together. Whereas Charlotte has had a couple of weeks to try to make sense of why ex-boyfriend Colin ended things, Anthony's troubles are extremely fresh. His now ex-girlfriend, Maya, has broken up with him at the airport, on that very morning - Christmas Eve, no less - only serving to re-open other old wounds that have not yet healed from past Christmases.
Together Charlotte and Anthony brave the cold, dark, and mostly empty streets of New York City, trying to reclaim who they were before their relationships turned sour. Guiding them along is a self-help book Charlotte came upon in the airport - 'Get Over Your Ex in Ten Easy Steps!' Despite thinking that the book is a scam that won't serve any purpose in helping them put their past behind them, Anthony goes along with it, and they start following the steps, revealing truths about themselves that they thought long - and best - hidden.
As they learn about themselves as individuals, they also learn about each other, showing that even short amounts of time together can spark true friendship. Charlotte and Anthony's relationship is a testament to the idea that even the unthinkable - love, or at least friends, at first sight - can come to be. It's just a matter of believing in yourself and letting yourself be open to every possibility.

Kiss Me in New York was such an adorable holiday contemporary that is perfect as the weather starts to get colder. Charlotte and Anthony spend the day together after a snowstorm leaves Charlotte stranded. Both are coming off breakups and decide to spend their night on a quest to get over their exes and in the process, grow closer themselves. The romance between Charlotte and Anthony was adorable. I feel like I really got to know them as characters as well, not just love interests. The wintery New York setting was the perfect backdrop to their adventure and created a unique tone. This was such an easy read, I finished it in one sitting - it light, it fluffy, it perfect for this time of year!
I received a copy of the book from Kids Can Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a really cute young adult book! I loved Charlotte's and Anthony's povs. Seriously though, at 17 years old and Charlotte being alone in New York, I don't think I would have been able to do that if I were that age. This book takes place in 1 day on Christmas Eve to Christmas morning, while I'm not sure of the actual time frame being realistic (not that it really matters in this case) with everything they did, but I think the pace of the book works very well. Since I'm not too much into 1 day book time frame this one didn't bother me at all. I laughed a few times and I thought it was also cute they basically became parents to the dog Mistake. I actually want to know more about these two characters!

wow proud of the not like other girls trope for writing a whole book by itself!!
also this had more exclamation points than my aunt's facebook posts.
a real nightmare all around.

there are two main reasons i'm reading this book:
- it's under 200 pages
- anytime you check out a stack of books at the library, you should always have at least one with an embarrassing title. to keep you humble
