Not Just Gal Pals
by Elizabeth Luly
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this book.
I saw the cover and immediately knew I had to read this, it just looks like sapphic fall perfection and it really was that. The vibes, mood and setting were so perfect, a small town somewhere between New England and New York in fall, the MCs enjoying some classic fall activities, it was all just so good and made me so excited for fall.
The romance itself was really cute, I loved the "seemingly enemies" to lovers, grumpy/sunshine and slow opening up to one another. I also loved that the third-act conflict was kept quite short, I saw the author describe this book as cozy/low-stakes/feel-good and it really is just that.
I felt like the setup of the story with Jenny being "canceled" was almost unnecessary, it just felt a bit weird to me. It wasn't a big part of the plot, but the prologue had me raising my eyebrows. So if you feel the same, just keep going, because it doesn't come up a lot after that.
Because of that, my actual rating would be 4,5 stars, but I decided to round it up because I really loved everything else.
Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a romance novel to read this fall!
