4.25 stars
Accidentally In Love was such a refreshing, sweet rom-com, I thoroughly enjoyed it! We follow Kate, who has been down-trodden in her life as a curator at a London gallery, as she is consistently being passed up for promotions who are instead given to less-qualified male applicants, and is also frustrated with her personal relationships being stuck in a rut. Frustrated, she quits her job, and decides to move back home to Sheffield, to open a gallery of her own. There, her father tries to make a match between her and an acclaimed local artist, Kit, however they instantly rub each other the wrong way (mostly because they are both far too stubborn an similar).
I really, thoroughly enjoyed this. Banter on point - and the relationship seemed very natural and sweet, but the book didn't just focus on that aspect. I feel like a lot of rom-coms fall into the trap of focusing on nothing but the relationship between the two, and neglect all other aspects - this did not do that !
I absolutely loved Kate's family dynamic as well! This book has so many touching moments that I absolutely adored.
The character growth of both Kate and Kit in this is absolutely phenomenal, and really well-executed as well! I was in the mood for a great pick-me-up read and this really hit the spot.
My only niggle is that towards the end, things escalated very quickly! I would have loved to see that development over more pages!
