Not Just Gal Pals
by Elizabeth Luly
Star: 4/5
Spice: 1.5/5
Thank you to Elizabeth Luly and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
I quite enjoyed this fall-themed rom-com about an unlikely pairing between a doctor and a social media influencer. This has a ton of cozy elements that give it Hallmark-vibes, while also discussing some themes that give this book depth.
After reading another fall-based rom-com ARC I was looking for another book to scratch that itch and this definitely succeeded. I absolutely loved the way Luly wrote about the small town of Sapphire Springs, the beautiful lush autumn foliage, the community bookstore-café that everyone in the town frequents and the fall-themed activities that were featured.
I really loved that the author chose to represent Jenny’s career as a socially acceptable choice, and one that requires a lot of work at that. No matter what people choose as their careers, no job is more acceptable than another.
I thought the romance between Jenny and Blake was great albeit a little rushed. It felt as though they were really quite cold toward each other and then quickly got together with little obstacle. The time they spend together however, is incredibly sweet. If you are a fan of farms in autumn (*cough* corn mazes, apple-flavoured doughnuts, tractor-rides *cough*) then you’ll love this book.
