smadams 's review for:
Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell
by Taj McCoy
Literally so embarrassed even as I type this because I love Taj McCoy and think she's the sweetest cutest nicest author but this book was not for me. It felt like a never ending loop of tennis (and/or yoga), cooking, and seeing Jason. There were such long descriptions of things I felt were unnecessary (She set up to hit the shot down the middle. It landed right at the service line. The next one came to her as a double-handed backhand. This one was a corner shot. etc etc etc the tennis especially made me zone out). Plus the insurance stuff was so boring?? There was a lot about underwriting that I didn't care about.
For the romance it was genuinely crazy to me that the blurb said "it turns out that the contractor [Savvy] hires is the same sexy stranger she unintentionally offended by judging based on appearances." That is an INSANE way to say she thought he was homeless?? Not to mention, it was a negligible offense in the end. He took it in stride and they laughed about it after meeting for real one time. I just thought there'd be more tension there.
I was pleased that Savvy was able to gain self-confidence by the end and even had the opportunity to turn down Jason. I'm glad she had Maggie and Kutter to keep her on track. But I just didn't really connect with her story. The best parts to me were the steamy scenes (and the UCLA references—go Bruins!). One thing I also liked and I think isn't shown a lot in stories was how Savvy rejected her promotion and hustle culture. Not everyone has to be on the grind all the time to be a success. I admired how she found balance with her romance, her personal life, her cooking, and her job.
