_basicbookworm 's review for:
Booked on a Feeling
by Jayci Lee
Lizzy has her life planned out and never deviates from that plan. She’s a successful lawyer at a prestigious law firm, and the next step is to make partner. But after having a panic attack in the courtroom, she decides to take a break and leaves LA to take a break in a small California town where she spent her summers as a child and ends up helping out with the local bookstore. Her best friend Jack, has had a crush on her for as long as he can remember, and now that she’s in his town for a few weeks he wants to make the most of it.
I loved this cover and was so excited for this book but it fell a little flat for me. I loved Lizzy’s character and her journey. I thought there were great messages about taking a step back to take care of your mental health, and finding your own path and what makes you happy. I also loved the bookstore aspect and the parts where Lizzy worked to revamp the shop. I mean, what book lover wouldn’t love to get to play such a major role in a bookstore? However, there were parts of this book that felt very slow - especially in the middle, and despite it being a cute story, it didn’t always hold my interest. The audiobook in particular helped with those slower moments for me as Cindy Kay did a great job narrating!
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, Dreamscape Media, and NetGalley for the advance copies.
