Hmmm. I liked the plot, but some things just went way too fast. Marriage? After a month?? Alrighty then. But I’m a sucker for feel good, so hello three stars.

A light-hearted rom-com set in New York city was all I needed in this time of year and this delivered!
The writing and the characters are great and I didn't expect to enjoy it this much. There was a lot of funny moments and other moments that had me curling my toes from excitement. It was a very close 5-stars read and then the book ended abruptly. There was no epilogue and I just felt as if the last chapter ended at a weird point and that there's was something else that needed to be said.
Either way it was a really entertaining read and I'm looking forward to read the rest of the books in this universe <3

This was a fun, sweet, summer read. I love Jake and Paige – the main characters. While this is a romance, it’s not just about the relationship between the hero and heroine, but also about friendships and the relationship between siblings. The main characters are well developed and very relatable. This story made me laugh at times.
While I enjoyed this story and will continue with the series, I wanted more from this story. Jake is gun-shy when it comes to relationships, and while it’s discussed it wasn’t fully explored – there were unanswered questions left.
I listened to the book on audio and the narrator wasn’t bad. The narrator didn’t add or take anything away regarding the story.

I romanzi rosa non fanno mai molto per me, perchè trovo che la storia non abbia niente da dire. Questo romanzo è più o meno su quella scia, e anche se rispetto ad altri romanzi rosa qui tutto sommato non ci sono stupidi tira-e-molla, la parte sdolcinata della storia mi è davvero pesata. Per non parlare del finale, poi: davvero tremendo, e anche un po' improbabile, dal momento che fino a quel momento i personaggi avevano una loro discreta coerenza.
D'altra parte ho trovato molto bello come è stata dipinta l’amicizia tra le protagoniste: finalmente un buon esempio di solidarietà femminile!
Ma quello che davvero mi è piaciuto è stata la rappresentazione della città: a differenza di altri libri ambientati a Manhattan, dove c’è ogni tanto un accenno ai grattacieli e bon, qui invece la città si respira proprio. Mi è sembrato di essere trasportata di nuovo a New York, anche se solo per seguire una storia d’amore!
Piccola nota a margine: come si può tradurre Sleepless in Manhattan, titolo che ha un certo senso e una perfetta coerenza con la storia contenuta in questo libro con Su e giù per Manhattan, che sembra un titolo da guida turistica? I misteri dell’editoria italiana…

A very sweet start to the series. Although at times the British terminology thrown into the writing pulled me out of the New York setting, it wasn’t something that ruined the book for me. I’m glad I found another contemporary romance I could get into after the awesomeness that is The Hating Game.

Aku benci harus jujur kalo aku benci banget karakter Eva di sini. Sumpah, terakhir baca seri Puffin Island seingatku nggak separah ini. Too much fairytale dan akhir bahagia memang selalu jadi pakem buat buku-buku penulis, kan? Tapi entah kenapa, rasanya kehidupan Paige walaupun sulit setelah dipecat dari pekerjaannya masih terkesan mudah. Well, privileged did. Hah, entahlah, aku lelah habis baca ini. Satu-satunya tekad yang maksa baca sampai akhir karena aku ogah numpuk buku lagi di rak dnf.
Karakter2 di sini memang punya ciri khas, tapi aku benci harus mengakui persahabatan mereka bikin sesak napas. I know, orang patah hati, mengalami hari buruk, pasti butuh support, tapi aduh ini Paige kayaknya nggak bilang butuh support atau ingin dikepoin urusannya udah nyamber aja si Eva. Kayak nggak punya privasi tau, nggak. Ugh, jiwa introverku misuh2 bacanya

There is so much to love about this series.
The romances, the settings, the writing - but the absolute best part is the friendships between the girls, no doubt.
