Accidentally in Love by Belinda Missen

5.0

** Thank you to publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for a complementary review **

I LOVED this book !! I cried happy tears !!! This is so much more than just a romance - it’s a truly lovely story !! Katharine is not reliant on The Man to make her happy (sure it helps) but fundamentally it is her determination and ambition which see her through.

It’s nice to see Katharine’s confidence grow throughout the novel - it’s a reoccurring theme that she downplays her abilities and talents much to the bewilderment of those around her. The plot truly demonstrates it’s never too late in life to change direction and chase your dreams ! I also very much enjoyed Katharine’s realisation of her self worth both professionally and personally !

Kit (and actually almost all the men in Katharine’s life) sees in Katharine what she can’t see in herself, he encourages her to believe in herself and her abilities. This is something I found so refreshing because although I do enjoy a cliche romance, it’s nice that it is actually the male characters who are cheering the female protagonist on.

I also really enjoyed how this novel deals with the evolution of friendships as we get older.
