With Booked on a Feeling, we get a sweet friends-to-lovers story about Jack and Lizzy, who have been best friends since they were kids. After Lizzy suffers burnout at her job, she uproots her life for a 3-week break in Jack's hometown. I appreciated the conversations surrounding Jack and Lizzy's feelings of obligation to their parents, as well as the way that their transition from friendship to relationship felt realistically tentative. I also thought the ending felt unique with a cool resolution! It did feel slightly predictable and I wish we had learned a little bit more about Jack and Lizzy individually, as well as their friendship prior to them becoming romantic. Since we are thrown into the story with little more than the information that they are BFFs and Jack has loved her for years, we don't really feel connected to them as friends first. Overall, I thought it was cute and easy read!
