“Sometimes the world ends and forgets to take you with it.”
I look forward to a new Jewel E Ann book with the greatest of anticipation. There is a reason she is one of my favorite authors. Look the Part delivered on my expectations and then some. It’s my first 6-Star read of the year. I laughed, I cried...my heart soared and hurt in equal measure. The FEELS!!! This had ALL THE FEELS!!!
I can’t say enough about Jewel’s writing. She gives us humor and angst all wrapped up in a delicious, unputdownable package, that I couldn’t help but devour from cover to cover in one sitting. Right from the prologue, you know there are going to be some heavy hitting issues, but it’s never heavy handed. And while there is angst, it’s never over the top or forced.
The characters, Flint and Ellen, are so real. I loved them and their chemistry together. Ellen pushes all of Flint’s buttons in the best possible way. They both need each other to heal the scars of the past.
Books like Look the Part are the reason I read romance. Love stories that leave us with a resounding echo of what love can do, how it can heal and transform lives. And I can’t forget to mention there are pet rats!!! I totally want my own now lol This is definitely one of my most favorite books EVER!
“I’m going to love you so hard, time won’t matter. Distance won’t matter. All you’ll feel when you take each breath...is my love.”

I thought this book was light and steamy, but it’s not, it deals with heavy topics (calling it dramatic sounds offensive somehow) — though it’s not exactly discussed in lengthy details. The book has that lingering feeling of loss and sadness, which took me by surprise.
I liked this book, but not enough to give it a higher rating than I did now. I can’t pinpoint exactly what feels off about it, except for the fact that their love started out hot and cold (if that even makes sense). I’m stopping this review right here because my brain cannot function well while writing this review.
Nonetheless, I still recommend this book. It’s a good story and it’s realistic. It’s my first book by Jewel E. Ann, and I enjoyed Flint and Ellen’s story so I think I’ll check out some of her other books as well.

My heart, this book is so cute and just pure raw emotions. I absolutely loved this book, I laughed, I cried and enjoyed every last bit of it.

Meh.
I feel this author tried to cram every single plot device typical to a romance into this story making it convoluted and a lot longer than it needed to be. It was just trauma after trauma after trauma and it was too much. Since there were so many traumas and dramas that the characters were dealing with, no drama felt fleshed out.
