This book is seriously the best book i’ve ever read. Note this book doesn’t have any smut if that’s what you’re looking for but it does get a little steamy. Annie and Will are seriously the cutest. It def shows the struggles of being scared to love and not knowing if you can be loved. Loved this book with everything in me, i’m gonna miss this journey!!

I randomly picked up this audiobook, knew nothing about it, & it ended up becoming a new favorite of mine!
I fell in love with Annie from Chapter 1. I felt so seen with her. She's introverted, awkward, & has social anxiety, preferring to stay home with a book than go out. She's quiet & shy, but if you're one of those few people who stick around in her life long enough, she opens up to be her true self. I loved her chapters as we got her inner thoughts—they were funny & endearing. I felt her frustration at other people's assumptions about her personality.

Will has become one of my top MMCs. He was respectful of Annie & wasn't the overly jealous type. He trusted her & didn't want to change her but help gain confidence in herself.
Their relationship was so much fun. I enjoyed the opposites attract and the whole "innocent, sweet woman getting mixed up with the trouble maker, experienced guy" dynamic. Though this was a closed door romance, their chemistry was off the charts! Their ability to communicate their feelings with each other was refreshing. Even though Will was adamant in not falling in love, he never denied his feelings for Annie. They never pushed each other. They knew what the other wanted and accepted that fact and waited until the other was ready.
I laughed so many times, but Annie's date with Brandon was one of the funniest scenes I've ever read. It got me wanting to read Amelia's story immediately, because she was hilarious.
Practice Makes Perfect is the PERFECT sweet and wholesome love story & I highly recommend!

“It seems to me, Annie, that you are just waiting for someone to give you permission to be yourself out loud.”
There is no secret that Sarah Adams is one of my favorite romance authors, and I've been waiting impatiently for Practice Makes Perfect to be published ever since I first heard about it. I loved the first book When In Rome last year, and I've looking forward to Annie and Will's story. I have to say that it didn't disappoint! Rome, Kentucky, makes for the perfect small town setting, and I loved being able to return and spend more time with its cast of characters. Annie and Will are both such great characters, and their story is basically your typical opposites attract romance. As usual, the romance itself is on the sweet side, although there is some sexy time involved as well. Somehow I didn't mind those scenes though, because I was too busy rooting for them by that time. There were some moments in the plot that were a tad frustrating, but as a whole I liked what Practice Makes Perfect brings to the table and the elements it offered besides the romance angle. I definitely can't wait to see what the next book set in this small town is going to be about! I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will involve James.
