Absolutely Not in Love by Jenny Proctor
5.0
Every time I read a new Jenny Proctor release, I say it’s my favorite - because IT IS! She just keeps topping herself with these fantastic, sweet, clean reads.
I couldn’t have loved Felix and Gracie more! This delightful read offers a fantastic amount of forced proximity, which is always fun (in my opinion). As neighbors and classical music lovers, these two adorable, relatable characters connect and a romance brews. When a pipe bursts in Gracie’s apartment, she moves in temporarily with her neighbor, hockey player and local celebrity, Felix.
As always, I love reading the dual POV from both the MMC and the FMC! Proctor highly entertained me with a look into each characters’ innermost thoughts and it was THE BEST. Gracie, a music teacher, is so sweet and darling. Felix is a lovable teddy bear; a perfect book boyfriend! I was excited to read his story after meeting him in Emma St. Clair’s book (Book 1 of the Sweater Weather series) and thought Jenny Proctor couldn’t have developed him into a more perfect fit for Gracie.
I definitely felt the swoon in various parts of this story and loved how hard these two fell for each other. It was refreshing that they didn’t fight against it, but rather grew together as they overcame their struggles. I liked that Gracie made Felix more confident and flirtatious and that Felix caused Gracie to question her hard-and-fast rule to not date hockey players.
In short, A MUST READ for fall!
Readers will find threads of social anxiety, mental health awareness, family dynamics and a hint of “never say never” in this story. This book reads as a standalone and my review is specific to this book, but I do recommend you read all of the Sweater Weather series as it offers multiple romances all set in the same, charming small town with crossover appearances by the townspeople and characters.
Content and Trigger Warnings: PG (kissing only). Light swearing (5 different uses of h— or d—-).
