I bawled my eyes out. I kicked my legs and giggled. I literally cackled. Practice Makes Perfect is everything I needed.

Annie and Will’s immediate chemistry was so gorgeous to read. The way they instantly understood each other’s humour and could read each other so perfectly was not only beautiful but genuinely entertaining. The “miscommunications” that always riddle romances were so short because the two of them knew each other so well, so you never felt like anything bad was actually going to stick. Each of their scenes, even early on in the story, were also incredibly sexy. Sarah Adams has that flirtatious banter DOWN.

Annie & Will both have such big hearts and have spent so long trying to ensure that everyone else is okay, so witnessing them both learning how to be honest and open to allow themselves to love not just each other but themselves was beautiful. Nobody deserves a HEA quite like them.

Practice Makes Perfect lost a star purely because of two things: one was that I spotted quite a few editorial mistakes that brought me out of the story for a moment, particularly at the beginning, and the other is that I would have liked to have gone into a bit more depth with some of the scenes. For example, on the night of Amelia’s bachelorette party, I think Will and Annie’s interactions were a little rushed from her saying
she’d stay
to him saying
they can go at any pace she wants
. I feel like there would have been a little more lead-up to that. I also think that, even keeping the book
closed door
, we could have seen more about how they came to each decision that night and their thought processes behind it.

Now we anxiously await Emily & Jack’s story before Maddie comes home and BETTER FALL IN LOVE WITH JAMES OR I’LL SUE.
