I didn’t really like Accidental Arrangements because the story was far too long and drawn out for no reason, the characters were stereotypical, and the characters weren’t likable at all. The FMC, Jules, was manic with her mood swings and it made her challenging to root for. Because I didn’t like her, I didn’t want her to win and it made me want to bail on this story multiple times. There was also a lot of internal dialogue that I found myself skimming. 

The real story is the MMC, Levi’s sister Lily and Levi’s agent Damien. But we didn’t get that story.

Julia’s attitude ruined this book for me...usually I’m able to stay bias and not side with the man or the woman… But Julia’s attitude was way too much for me. I felt like she got mad at the smallest things and no matter what Levi did she was still angry… And the scene where she fights that girl in the bar and then Levi has to apologize, I still don’t understand why he was apologizing when he was trying to get the girl away and Julia is the one that came out of nowhere and punch the girl after Levi came to see Julia after being away and Julia had that unexplained attitude and didn’t tell him why… Anyways, it would’ve been a good book if Julia did not have such a bad attitude!

I enjoyed a lot of her other books but for some reason, this book was not clicking for me. I typically can finish her books in a few hours because I don’t want to put them down but this book spanned over a couple days of reading because it didn’t really keep my attention. I think it was Jules having the attitude was drawn out for too long. But overall an ok book.

Great

Jules and Levi were great. I especially enjoyed their ambition. The love story was super cute. Really loved the ending.

Listen, I know Jules aggravated the girls on goodreads (which is very clear by the fact they keep calling her Julia and we went through a whole thing about how that’s not her name lmao) and yes she aggravated me too, but I still loved this book. Yes Jules was frustrating and irritating and got mad about stuff that wasn’t necessary. Yes Levi was sweet, but he was also naive, and childish and made some dumb mistakes too. Both can be true. I think what I loved about this is that both characters were so obviously flawed that you wanted to smack them and root for them all at the same time! As far as I’m concerned, Alexandra Warren definitely delivered with this one.

I was rooting so hard for this couple. I loved their journey.

Levi and Jules

These two were so stubborn. They fought their connection as hard as they could but, when it destined to be there's nothing you can do to stop it.
