Not in My Book by Katie Holt

5.0

Grumpy sunshine novel writing. Sign me up!

The FMC, Rosie, was very relatable. I laughed because as a romance author she clings to unrealistic romance even after her terrible relationship with her ex. Aiden was the classic grumpy nemesis with sex appeal and the mean boy crush. The banter was comical, but serious topics such as childhood trauma were also explored to further character development.

The spice was perfect. It was a slow burn, but truly some of the best spice I've read. It was steamy without being over the top which I appreciated.

I received this as an ARC, and I'm so happy I did. Thank you NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books. I absolutely ate this up, and I cannot wait for Holt's next book!
