Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell by Taj McCoy
3.5
What to expect: post break up, fat rep, neighbors, weight loss
I liked most of this book, but didn't love the way it handled weight loss. The friend group was really well done, and the romance could have benefitted form a little more development.
Spice: 2.5/4

Business Casual by B.K. Borison
5.0
What to expect: opposites attract, black cat girl/chaotic himbo, secret relationship, “just one time,” small town
No notes.
I was kicking and screaming the entire time. They were so perfect for each other and I loved seeing them grow in their relationship and personally along side one another. They’re precious and I would do anything to protect them. They’re my second favorite behind Evie & Beckett
Also the way the previous couples were woven into the story was really well done. They didn’t take over the book, and still gave Charlie & Nova the attention they deserved while giving us glimpses of our favorites.

The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest

What to expect: emails/pen pals, neighbors/forced proximity, bit of secret identity, "help me learn to date"
Thank you to PRH audio for this listening copy! This one was a ton of fun! I loved how they both had jobs in the publishing industry and the emails were great. It was fun to see their relationship bloom and I'd recommend this one!
The sisters were also fantastic and I'm excited to read the next book!

What to expect: enemies to friends to lovers, found family, mutual pining, slow burn, hint of forbidden romance, single guardian, tattooed MMC -- make sure you read the author's note in the beginning and check the content notes!
I loved this one! I thought all the rep from mental health to infertility was handled with care. I loved the dynamic between the main characters, and the side characters. The slow burn was slowwwww but worth it, and that epilogue was funnnn
I also loved all the hints for future books in this one!
