“We aren’t a partnership in the traditional sense. Or the romantic sense. We probably don’t make any sense,” Lizzie said, dragging the pads of her fingers along the bridge of his nose. “But we’re in this together. And I’m glad you’re doing this with me.” 💙
Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake is the 2nd book in the "A Brush With Love" series. I absolutely adored the first book, but LIZZIE BLAKE? Lizzie Blake absolutely destroyed and then fixed me all over again. I thought Dan and Harper were everything, but then Mazey Eddings gifted us with Lizzie and Rake. I love L&R to death. *insert Taylor Swift's RIP ME GIF here*
I have never read an accidental pregnancy romance before because I thought I'd not enjoy them, but Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake changed my mind. (I don't think I'll ever read any other book from that trope tho, I trust Mazey with everything so I JUST HAD TO READ IT) I fell in love with Rake and Lizzie so fast - there's just something so ✨wonderful✨ about opposites-attract romances, you know? I wouldn't call this a grumpy-sunshine romance, as Rake was more of a shy person than a grumpy one ~ but my God. The dynamic between them!!! *absolute perfection* My heart absolutely melted while reading their conversations. The banter, the back, and forths, the chemistry????? TOP NOTCH. The romance storyline was chaotic and lovely, and honestly, everything just felt like
Now, Lizzie. Lizzie. That breathtaking force of a woman. I know I am not the right person to talk about the ADHD rep in LBBM, but I just think it was so perfectly written. I have never read a book about the main character with ADHD (other than Percy Jackson), so I got to see a lot of things in a new light through Lizzie's characters. The author highlighted a lot of Lizzie's struggles in a realistic nature, with a lot of depth, instead of just talking about ADHD on a surface level. I felt like hugging Lizzie countless times because of everything that she went through - things she didn't deserve. She became so real to me. I think a lot of my bookworm friends with ADHD will love reading about Lizzie ~ I can't wait to see their reviews!
And then, Rake. MY GOD, RAKE. That man talks in ✨poetry✨. If I had a dollar for every time one of Rake's monologues made me melt, I would become so, so rich right now. I mean, just read this quote -
“I think about your brain constantly. It fascinates me to no end. I want to know every corner of it, learn the secret colors of your thoughts. I’d do anything for a map of it.”
Imagine seeing a live-action remake of this exact scene while the male MC talks to a person with ADHD. I would be bawling my eyes out (not that I didn't do that already while reading the book) Little moments like this between Lizzie and Rake made my heart feel so full omg. The way that they connected; the way that Rake understood Lizzie ~ and the way that Lizzie found a home in Rake - made me feel a thousand emotions all at once.
The romance was so unconventional, yet so insightful and touching. I can't recommend this book enough. Also, the chapters after Lizzie's pregnancy announcement mention the size of the baby based on the no. of weeks - and they were written with so much humor!! You need to read Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake solely for those chapter beginners tbh.
Just go read Mazey Eddings' books okay? You're going to fall in love with my STEM Queen! The book community needs to show her more love!!
