This was a sweet, pure, romcom style novel that just leaves you feeling good. It wasn’t overly sugary and the characters weren’t perfect or unattainable, rather the story felt realistic and possible. The book covers broken hearts, loss of loved ones, and questioning how and when to go after what you want in life.

Not Louis’ best work, but it still builds a complete world with arresting characters and relatable struggles. The heroine is just a tad deluded for my taste (rich, I know).

This isn't like most romance books, you go on a different trip than normal which is refreshing. Some of the charecters really really suck, and these characters are living with real things. They're more flushed out than a stock charecter. It's not always a light read.

Wow. Okay. I was a expecting a romance but got so much more! There wasn’t too much “romance” in the book but the storyline had me on the edge of my seat. Anytime I thought I knew what was going to happen, Lia pulled the rug from underneath me & threw in something I wasn’t expecting. 

I loved Noelle. She is such a dedicated soul to her family & friends. She experienced so much growth throughout the book. It was beautiful. & Sam. I was rooting for him the whole time. Even he had his own growth so he could be the man Noelle needed. 

I loved Eight Perfect Hours so much. It wasn’t what I was expecting but I fell in love with it anyways. Looking forward to checking out Lia’s next book I just ordered through Aardvark Book Club!

Brought together under less-than-ideal circumstances, after spending an evening stranded but enjoying each other's company and conversation, Noelle and Sam go their separate ways. What follows is a series of serendipitous encounters that leave Noelle questioning whether fate is trying to bring them together or she should reunite with her ex-boyfriend. The serious side stories with her friends and family occasionally seemed to be taking up a lot of time, even darkening the mood. However, though somewhat predictable, the additional "coincidental meetings" between Noelle and Sam helped to lighten the mood and made for a fun, sweet story.
