Weekends with You
A heartwarming and romantic debut told over the course of one year in monthly weekend installments, about found family, new love, and the magic of London.
Flowers have always been the best communicators. They’ve mastered falling over one another in the perfect way to announce exactly what they need: sunlight, water, space. They do not rush. They do not bloom before their time. They do not take without giving in return…
They are nothing like the rest of London.
Between trying to keep her north London flower shop, The Lotus, afloat and falling for a flatmate, Lucy Bernstein is going to have to rethink everything she knows about “creative arrangements.”
Unwillingly becoming one of eight flatmates in a quirky warehouse conversion would have been difficult enough without any romantic entanglements, but when Lucy lays eyes on Henry Baker, the traveling photographer who only comes home twelve weekends a year, she knows her hands will be full with more than just posies. As each weekend progresses, Lucy also finds herself unexpectedly falling for all her new flatmates, along with this bustling but ultimately sweeter home.
Can Lucy learn from the flowers she tends to and bravely reach for all that she needs to bloom?

Thanks to NetGalley I received an advanced electronic copy of the book to read and provide a review.
I really liked the premise of the book and LOVED the author’s writing style. It flowed nicely and was enjoyable. However, I found Henry to be insufferable and it made the overall dynamic between the main characters hard to enjoy.
What was supposed to be tension felt like an immature guy who wasn’t ready to commit but still wanted to leave his options open. He strung her along for an entire year!
If there was an epilogue for this book, Henry is the kind of dude who would have resentment toward Lucy for making him feel like he had to choose London over Amsterdam.
I really wish Henry had more redeeming qualities or they further explored the relationship with Oliver. I know there was supposed to be a spark with Lucy and Henry but I didn’t feel it. I wish I did! However, the roommate/friend dynamics and adventures were a ton of fun to read.

Weekends with You by Alexandra Paige
Contemporary new adult romance.
Lucy Bernstein loves working with flowers and making people happy with her arrangements. She dreams of displays and artful decorations that make a statement. At the flower shop where she works, Lucy is limited to the walk in bouquet customers but she can dream of more in the future.
Lucy moves out of her single room apartment and into a warehouse flat where her best friend lives. There are a total of eight roommates within the shared space and one weekend a month they get together for planned fun around London. Roommate Henry travels as a photographer and is only home for that one weekend each month but Lucy wants to get to know him better. Their chemistry so far is intriguing.
New adult is not my core passion.
Angst, on-again, off-again, severe lack of communication, love vs career building, roommates, and the fragility of new relationships. Stress!
Of course, resolution of all these things has me happy to be reading romance. I’m just glad I’m well past those uncertain and new path years.
The ending is worth slogging through the angst and drama.
Made family, friendships, new love, and finding your path. HFN.

Long Islander (NY) Lucy is living in London developing her skill as a florist working in a small two person shop. She loves her job but worries that the business might not make it. When she becomes one of eight twenty somethings sharing a warehouse conversion, she falls for Henry, who is somewhat of an enigma. The problem is Henry travels for his job as a photographer, returning to his room at the warehouse apartments only one weekend a month. He makes clear that in his travels he hopes to find a place to call home as London no longer has anything for him.
The book is well written with some sweet (no pun intended!) aspects and a unique plot line. However, I found the interaction between Lucy and Henry to be very slow moving with no real spark. That I was more interested in the information shared about the flowers and the monthly activities of the Warehouse Weekend than the relationship between the two would be lovers does not bode well for the romance aspect of this romcom. I looked forward to seeing what the group would be exploring on their planned weekends, but I cringed about the interaction between the two main characters. Other than admiring him physically, I couldn’t quite see what Lucy saw in him; he seemed quite emotionless; almost an automaton. But, who can explain attraction to someone even though at heart we know they may not be good for us?
I did like Lucy’s talent, ambition, and business acumen.

Weekends with You is Alexandra Paige's debut novel, and I can already tell I am going to be with her for the long haul! This story was funny, heartbreaking, and magical all at once, and I particularly loved the London setting. I marked it down as a summer/beach read because I could see someone completely getting lost in this story while sitting on a beach or a deck in the sunshine. It was engaging and I didn't mind that each chapter was set so far apart. I felt like I still got to know the characters really well, and the found family aspect completely stole my heart. I loved how the title played into the storyline as well, and the entire book reminded me of a setup for a movie. If it was, I would totally watch it BTW.
The audiobook for this novel was great, and I loved the way Eva Kaminsky brought Lucy and the magic of the storyline to life. Paige did an excellent job breathing life into her setting, and I felt like I was right there in London and the other locations this book takes place. I love flowers, so of course I was also smitten by that being a part of the story. My only minor complaint for this one was that I felt as though Lucy and Henry’s relationship was a bit toxic with all the times he messed up and then Lucy forgave him. Relationships are messy though, so I will allow it. 😜 I think this is a very strong debut from a talented writer, and I can’t wait to see what she does next!

The story of Lucy, a florist who moves in with her best friend and her 6 roommates to save money starts out great. The tension between Lucy and Henry, a roommate, builds well in the beginning. Through the hilarious conversations between all eight roommates, the supporting characters come to life and are well developed. I loved them.
The struggle I have with the book is Lucy’s relationship with Henry. Time and time again he disappoints her but she takes him back. Henry is very immature, not ready for the relationship that Lucy is. And while they definitely are attracted to each other, I have to believe that she wouldn’t end up with him. She is smart, successful and has great friends. She could do better than Henry.
I really wanted to like this story more. I think it had great potential.

3.5 stars rounded up. I thought this was a really cute debut and I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. Lucy is a London florist who moves into a warehouse flat with 7 (yes, 7) other roommates. She finds herself quickly falling for one of the roommates, but the circumstances are a bit tricky as he is a traveling photographer and only in London for one weekend a month.
This book had some of my favorite themes and elements- found family, flowers, and a London setting, so I think that’s why I enjoyed it so much. It had a bit of a warm and cozy feel to it, which was just what I needed. I mostly enjoyed the dynamic between roommates and found those relationships and storylines to be more endearing than the romance aspect of the book. I’ll admit at first I was a bit concerned about keeping track of all 8 roommates, but the author did a great job of rounding them out just enough and building a really fun dynamic where this wasn’t an issue for me at all. The love story was fine- I wasn’t totally invested, but I didn’t hate it- and I do think some of their issues and general immaturity in the relationship was realistic considering they are in their early twenties.
I do wish there could have been a bit more background and insight into Lucy’s past. This would have made it a lot easier to connect with and root for her. Having such limited background on both her and Henry made it feel a little superficial. Also, this is a very minor annoyance but it threw me off how Lucy was supposed to be from New York but her inner monologue was VERY British. I understand she has been living there for a few years at this point but it just felt off to me every time.
Overall, I found this enjoyable, and if you can look past the somewhat frustrating love story, it’s a really solid debut! I’m excited to read more from Alexandra Paige.

I LOVED the idea of this book. With the monthly themes, this one really leaned in on the chosen family trope and I could’ve read an entire book just about the friends and their monthly escapades! The romance, though? Skip it. The male main character is untrustworthy and I REALLY wanted a different ending where she knows her worth and walks away.

A debut novel that was just as much about found family and friendship as it was romance, WEEKENDS WITH YOU was a well-rounded first offering by Alexandra Paige.
It’s always fun to pick up a book by a debut author. And WEEKENDS WITH YOU had a lot going for it, starting with it being set in London. I was also intrigued by the format–author Alexandra Paige wrote this in monthly installments with each chapter progressing from month to month while the main hero, Henry, was back in London for the weekend after traveling abroad...

at no point are you given enough backstory about any of these characters to have context for what nonsense is going on here
henry is so deeply anti-staying in london. why? what happened? what’s the reason?
lucy makes a big deal about opening her heart to love and new experiences. why? what happened? who hurt you?
it just felt very halfhearted. like you’re not given enough information about anyone to actually feel invested. not to mention what an absolute prick henry is throughout the book with no redeeming qualities. henry is the guy that your friends find out you’re talking to again and they hold an intervention for your poor decision making.

Thank you Avon and Harper Voyager | Avon for allowing me to read and review Weekends with You on NetGalley.
Published: 04/09/24
Stars: 2.5 (rounding up)
Not for me, however, there is an audience.
I'm too old for the childish and idiotic bantering and behavior. I wasn't that girl, but I had friends who were. (I had a father, they didn't. Is that the difference?).
How does a person dream of a lifelong future when they spend a day here and there that is based on half-truths. Is it loneliness? Insecurities? Lack of maturity? What pushes a person to repeatedly hurt and yearn over clear truths? I don't know.
I just wanted the book to end. It wasn't believable for me. It doesn't work as satire. I found myself begrudgingly turning pages. For others this will be an escape and I do believe there are some who will be entertained.
Kudos for swearing without the F word. I give Paige credit for that stance. I will consider recommending this to a young reader with a gentle ignore and don't employ the swearing reminder, while enjoying the unrealistic fun story.

I enjoyed reading this story and thought it was pretty good. The vibe reminded me of the show Good Trouble. Both are about young/later 20-somethings trying to figure out their life path or make better changes for themselves. Our leads, Lucy and Henry, are the definition of will they or won't they. I say this for many reasons. One is that they often toy with each other through their banter, but they get lost in the sauce when the line gets blurry. They both do things that make you question their intentions, but one more so than the other. One of the main plot points is that Henry travels for work, which causes most of Lucy's hesitation about their relationship. Fitting since she is self-aware of her needs and logical. However, even though she's self-aware, rational, and hesitant, she still can't control her feelings for Henry. Henry came across as a person who acts without thinking, whether it’s with his words or actions. These traits cause most of the frustration within the story for me. He always begs for them to try out a relationship but, in the same breath, reminds her that he's unsure of where and what his future looks like, which might not be what she hopes. Many would say he is doing this to keep their relationship on the lighter side of things, yet he's pushing for them to be together, so to me, he wants his cake and eats it, too.
Honestly, Henry didn't offer much to the story except being good at apologizing when things start to not go as he expected. Lucy isn't as problematic to me. She seems more settled in her life. She is making things happen without a time limit attached to her, so as a reader, you aren't getting too frustrated with her choices. Especially with her putting energy into wanting to date Henry. Those red flags may be waving, but Lucy, who is loyal, stuck around to see Henry be an adult and make a choice, which was rightly choosing her.

*****2.5*****
This is hard to rate. I love the roommates and their stories and Renee, but I don’t care much for Lucy and definitely don’t like the romance. I like the concept of the book, but I agree with other reviewers that there doesn’t seem to be enough between Lucy and Henry to warrant these conflicts. Unlike other reviewers, I was more annoyed by Lucy than by Henry. Henry says he’s not honest, but he did tell Lucy he wasn’t sure he was staying in London. She kept going back and forth in the beginning then dove in and surprised him in another country when they weren’t even a couple. If someone did that to me, I’d be upset, too. I also feel like her seeing the email from a landlord in Amsterdam was her jumping to conclusions when he hadn’t decided to live there yet, and he’d made it clear he wasn’t set on staying in London. Overall, the book was cute and fun, and the roommates and their family were adorable, but the romance annoyed me, and I got tired of everyone over drinking and Lucy talking about Henry’s long fingers all the time. It’s so frustrating to me when authors have to talk about every single touch and ripple of muscle and flutter in the gut and come up with multiple similes for a person’s eye color. When you are attracted to someone, it’s clear that you are attracted to many things about them. All the details make her seem like a teenager who can’t hold it together, and it’s frustrating.
I recommend this book if you like romance. It’s not really chick lit to me as it doesn’t focus as much as it could on the friendships and Renee and really building Lucy’s character.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a free copy of this book in exchange for a review.

This book started off so strong! The concept of this book was a great one. A group of friends living in a shared space so that they can afford the rent, but still carve out time to plan one weekend a month where they spend time together. The characters were written so well that you can not help but love them. What got me was the repeated miscommunication and false starts to Lucy and Henry's relationship. While the miscommunication trope is not something that I enjoy reading, this was still a fun and light-hearted read.
January 29, 2024
This was such a lovely read! Throughout the book, I kept coming back to the appreciation that there was no drama for drama’s sake. The love story between Henry and Lucy is something that I felt I could relate to as the draw of an adventurous, untethered career competes often with my love for home and roots. Alexandra’s way with words is beautiful, with her sweet banter, her sassy quips and illustrative imagery. It was a joy envisioning each scene as described on the page.
My only bit of critical feedback would be that the story seems almost too subdued. It almost felt like I was on a roller coaster that didn’t climax at the right moment or the right altitude.
That being said, I loved the uniqueness of the storyline and the structure. Seeing into the Warehouse affairs once a month was something special; it cut the crap out of any filler needed to keep the long storyline going. The transitions from chapter to chapter were economical and smooth, and the end was sweet and impactful.
Overall, I’d give this read a 3 out of 5 stars. While it wasn’t necessarily discussion provoking or ground breaking, I will be recommending this to all my friends and will be enthusiastic to see what Alexandra writes next.

3.5 rounded up.
A beautiful story about friendship, found family and star-crossed love that sees two friends with undeniable chemistry never being able to figure out how to be together in the same city and still pursue the careers they are both passionate about. Angsty and dramatic but definitely romantic, this was a strong debut and good on audio. Perfect for fans of authors like Beth O'Leary or Josie Silver. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this story, and I loved the characters and their friendship. The only thing I really didn’t care for was the indecisiveness of the love interest. I was actually starting to get annoyed. But other than that, it was a cute story.

A fun read, I wanted to be part of the friend group!

*Note: this is an HONEST SPOILER FREE REVIEW*
“Flowers have always been the best communicators…They’ve mastered falling over one another in the perfect way to announce exactly what they need…They let us use them again and again…They do not rush. They do not take without giving in return.”
My rating: 2.75-3/5 stars ⭐️
Weekends With You by Alexandra Paige is a good debut novel for the spring time for my besties who love found families and flowers. As someone who absolutely adores both, I ate up all the banter and flower symbolisms.
I will admit that this book was not exactly…my cup of tea? Theoretically, it should’ve been because it had all the elements I usually love. But something about the writing style just didn’t click with me. Don’t get me wrong, it was a fun, quick read, but the element that I relied on to get through the story was the found family. Not the actual plot or the romance. With that being said, I think the underlying issue, for me personally, is that the characters didn’t feel “alive” until they were all together. I didn’t really find myself caring about them individually. Yet, they worked as a group, aka I loved loved loved their energy, how the character dynamics played off of each other (i appreciated the diversity/diverse rep and how everyone was inclusive), the banter, etc. I am 100% a sucker for anything found family related.
Okay so now addressing the romance part…of a romance novel…For the first time in a while, I actually wanted the fmc to either end up alone or with the secondary love interest (who, by the way, was the much better option. justice for him). I would’ve actually been satisfied if Lucy took charge of her best interest and stopped letting Henry walk all over her like a doormat. I was kind of taken aback by Henry’s behavior and how unlikeable he is. Overall, there was just a huge lack of chemistry. In my personal opinion, the secondary love interest could’ve had much more potential.
Lastly, I loved the fact that this book included flowers, a flower shop (we need more fmc/mmc florists!!), and the language of flowers. I loved their symbolism and usage throughout the story. Additionally, as someone who absolutely loves photography, I appreciated how the power of photography was represented throughout the story.
So, with all that being said, I can’t talk about much more without spilling the beans, but I definitely encourage everyone to give this book a try. I hope all of you find something inspiring from this story.

Weekends With You by Alexandra Paige is a good debut novel for the spring time for my besties who love found families and flowers. As someone who absolutely adores both, I ate up all the banter and flower symbolisms.
I will admit that this book was not exactly…my cup of tea? Theoretically, it should’ve been because it had all the elements I usually love. But something about the writing style just didn’t click with me. Don’t get me wrong, it was a fun, quick read, but the element that I relied on to get through the story was the found family. Not the actual plot or the romance. With that being said, I think the underlying issue, for me personally, is that the characters didn’t feel “alive” until they were all together. I didn’t really find myself caring about them individually. Yet, they worked as a group, aka I loved loved loved their energy, how the character dynamics played off of each other (i appreciated the diversity/diverse rep and how everyone was inclusive), the banter, etc. I am 100% a sucker for anything found family related.
Okay so now addressing the romance part…of a romance novel…For the first time in a while, I actually wanted the fmc to either end up alone or with the secondary love interest (who, by the way, was the much better option. justice for him). I would’ve actually been satisfied if Lucy took charge of her best interest and stopped letting Henry walk all over her like a doormat. I was kind of taken aback by Henry’s behavior and how unlikeable he is. Overall, there was just a huge lack of chemistry. In my personal opinion, the secondary love interest could’ve had much more potential.
Lastly, I loved the fact that this book included flowers, a flower shop (we need more fmc/mmc florists!!), and the language of flowers. I loved their symbolism and usage throughout the story. Additionally, as someone who absolutely loves photography, I appreciated how the power of photography was represented throughout the story.
So, with all that being said, I can’t talk about much more without spilling the beans, but I definitely encourage everyone to give this book a try. I hope all of you find something inspiring from this story.

Weekends With You is Alexandra Paige’s debut novel. We have Lucy, a florist, who needs to move in to a flat with her best friend and several other roommates due to financial reasons. It is there that she meets Henry, a traveling photographer who is only home one weekend per month.
To start, any book where the main character is a florist has me immediately hooked. Honestly, while reading this I even researched what it would require to become a florist and I almost texted my friend @nicolejulia18 to impulsively tell her we should go get certified (but then I didn’t) 😂
This book was all vibes for me. I had a hard time getting behind Lucy and Henry, at times I questioned the chemistry between them. But this book has such New Girl vibes that I ate it up. The roommates turned best friends and the quirky dynamic of their flat was just so fun to me. So that’s it, I decided I liked it. But I liked it for the vibes 😂

3 stars | Thank you to the publisher for gifting me a free copy of this book! All opinions are my own.
What a sweet rom-com! This story is perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary and Josie Silver. It also reminded me a bit of Lease on Love by Fallon Ballard.
Lucy is a florist living in London when she meets Henry, a traveling photographer, and they become studio/roommates. They share a warehouse space with a number of other young creatives and, once a month, plan a weekend together hosted by a different roommate. Each chapter details that month's "Warehouse Weekend," and Henry and Lucy come together to find out if what they have is more than just friends.
I loved the big cast of characters, the London setting, and the flower shop. Overall, this was a warm and lighthearted story. At moments, it reminded me of New Girl, with the group of friends sharing a space and shenanigans. There is a chapter set at a B&B in Ireland that is extremely cozy!
My only critique is that since so many roommates are involved, it was hard to keep track of them. I wished for more depth from each, but perhaps the author is setting up future books ◡̈

I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet and light-hearted romance. I can see why it wouldn't be for everyone though. It is told over a year on one specific weekend each month. This alone can make it frustrating for some readers, but to create tension and to keep the plot moving, the author used a lot of miscommunication between the couple. I was even a bit annoyed that Lucy and Henry couldn't seem to work things out but kept making the same mistakes (to be fair, they were also annoyed at themselves for the same reason).
What I did love was the love between all the characters. The entire group that made up the flat was so lovable and I enjoyed seeing them care for one another. It gave me a lot of New Girl vibes. This love story goes beyond romantic love, and that is what I found so charming about it. To me, it felt like a fast read because of the way it was told. I didn't feel the need to put it down and when I had to, it was easy to pick right back up again.
This was a great debut novel and I think the author's writing will only get stronger from here.

Romances are a great break from serious reading, the type you have to read twice to decipher. But I did a lot of fast reading with Weekends with You, searching for some excitement and plot to encourage me forward. Author Alexandra Paige offers a great set up of a romance in London, between a florist and a photographer. This couple lives in the same house, but because of work they barely see each other. Yet somehow the background and characters were not enough to get me rolling. Urban goings on were kind of slow. In addition the romance is in tiny bits, and frankly I was disappointed in our heroine’s decision to even give this guy the time of day. A lukewarm get together once a month? She thinks in her head one way but her actions are quite different. Even the ending was not very satisfying. Perhaps a repetitive romance reader would feel differently but this novel was not a winner for me. Thank you to Netgalley for letting me give this earc a try.

Weekends With You
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Author: Alexandra Paige
I requested a digital advanced readers copy from NetGalley and Avon Books and providing my opinion voluntarily and unbiased.
Synopsis: Flowers have always been the best communicators. They’ve mastered falling over one another in the perfect way to announce exactly what they need: sunlight, water, space. They do not rush. They do not bloom before their time. They do not take without giving in return…
They are nothing like the rest of London.
Between trying to keep her north London flower shop, The Lotus, afloat and falling for a flatmate, Lucy Bernstein is going to have to rethink everything she knows about “creative arrangements.”
Unwillingly becoming one of eight flatmates in a quirky warehouse conversion would have been difficult enough without any romantic entanglements, but when Lucy lays eyes on Henry Baker, the traveling photographer who only comes home twelve weekends a year, she knows her hands will be full with more than just posies. As each weekend progresses, Lucy also finds herself unexpectedly falling for all her new flatmates, along with this bustling but ultimately sweeter home.
Can Lucy learn from the flowers she tends to and bravely reach for all that she needs to bloom?
My Thoughts: This was a contemporary new adult romance with emphasis on friendship building as well. I like a good YA or New Adult, even though I am approaching 50, and to not be where a new adult is in the dating world is such a relief and to have my spouse of almost 30 years by my side is a godsend. Lucy loves flowers and how they communicate things to the world, the simplicity behind a rose, a tulip, a carnation, give it care by water and sun, and it will bring you joy and fragrance. She moved out of her apartment and into a shared warehouse flat that is shared with 8 roommates. Her best friend lives here, as well as Henry Baker. Henry is a traveling photographer whom is only home for one weekend a month. The weekend he is home is the same weekend they have planned activities for all the roommates. She would like to get to know him better, as their chemistry has been interesting. Lucy finds herself falling for her flatmates, especially Henry. Can Lucy take lessons from her flowers and be brave?
There was a lot of angst and tension playing side by side with on and off again. I understand lack of communication and miscommunication tropes and even like them to a degree, but the lack of communication here was really severe and unnecessary. Lucy was balancing building her career through her flower shop and put relationships on the back burner so there was a love v career dilemma occurring. I loved the unique premise of the flatmates doing something fun in London every month and I was excited to see where their adventures would take them. I really enjoyed watching the flatmates go from strangers to found family. I wish the budding relationship between Lucy and Henry was stronger, I felt like he messed up a lot, even for a book boyfriend, and Lucy continued to forgive him, almost to a toxic level. It is almost as Henry is not ready to commit, where Lucy is absolutely ready for a long-term relationship.
Lucy is smart, optimistic, caring, and loves to make others happy through flowers. Henry is kind of aloof, charming, a bit on the immature side, and noncommittal. The characters were well developed with witty banter, some chemistry, creative, and intriguing. The supporting characters were absolutely amazing and really elevated the story to another level. The author’s writing style was complex, funny, heartfelt, magical, and engaging. Paige really knocked it out of the park with the London setting, the details provided were so descriptive that I felt like I was there in London with these flatmates, riding along on the adventures. The author builds up the characters in a slow burn fashion, the plot is delivered throughout the storyline, and the ending was fantastic.
This was Paige’s debut novel. For a debut novel, it was fantastic and I know we are going to see amazing things from this author. My only con is Henry. I wish he was a more solid character instead of so fluid. With that being said, I still loved this story. It was sweet, heartfelt, funny, and beautifully written. I really enjoyed the message of this story though, to always find your own path and own it, stand in your truth. I would definitely recommend to other readers.

This will they won't they romance was saved by the found family's banter and connection. Along with the FMC's professional journey towards her dreams.
There are a few things I loved about this book. First, the delightful side characters who offer so much personality and fun to the story. I loved the loner gets a found family part of this story. Lucy's commitment to her dreams, hardworking personality, and professional journey also really add to the plot. The writing style was fun and the banter was lovely.
The love story is a bit frustrating, but perhaps that is a personal preference. The will they, won't they felt drawn out and I found it hard to root for them as end game. I actually hoped she ended up with the other guy. Maybe for a little while, giving Henry time to sort himself out. Lucy talks about how she loves Henry's directness while simultaneously getting burned over and over by his not meaning what he says in the heat of the moment. It's a slow burn with no spice. I thought the story may have been more about watching them grown into their relationship, but Lucy did all the growing. She became more confident in herself, in touch with her feelings, and chased her goals and dreams. There wasn't a point where it felt like Henry really changed. The bar seemed too low. He didn't have to work for their relationship after imploding it multiple times.
I'm glad the story focused some on her professional struggles and the relationships with the roommates. It left me feeling like Lucy deserved better.

March 22, 2024I received a free ecopy through Netgalley and a free audiobook copy through Edelweiss. I decided to listen to the audiobook copy and voluntarily reviewed it.
I DNF'd this book about 10% in I think. I listened to the audiobook and this was toward the end of chapter 2. The concept for this book sounded quite interesting, with the couple only seeing each other one weekend per month. When I started this book this book I quickly realized this book wasn't going to work for me. At first I mostly struggled with the narrator, her voice was fine, but the changes in volume didn't work for me. I couldn't find a comfortable volume to listen to as either some parts where way too loud and if I put it lower I couldn't hear the softer parts. This is probably a me thing as I can be quite picky about this.
I decided to still give the book a bit more time to try to see if the story could hook me, but it just didn't work for me. After the first chapter there is a time skip of a month and that felt jarring to me. I think the whole book will be like this told in weekends with a month time skip in between. I don't think this works for me, it felt jarring and like I was missing what happened in between. The reason why Lucy moved to the flat was kinda odd and she didn't really seem to want this. I liked the variety of characters and the found family trope, but I didn't like them enough to keep going. The connection between Henry and Lucy didn't seem to be solely based on attraction so far and for a romance with this concept I just had expected them to hit it off right away, but that didn't happen. Maybe I'll give the ebook another try at some point, but I don't think this book is for me.

“Flowers have always been the best communicators. [...] They do not rush. They do not bloom before their time. They do not take without giving in return.”
Weekends with You is a solid debut from Alexandra Paige and is the perfect book to jump into spring! Lucy Bernstein lives in a London flat with seven other roommates and ends up falling hard for one of them. She is also trying to keep her flower shop, The Lotus, afloat.
I found Lucy to be very relatable and really enjoyed seeing her relationships with her flatmates. I also loved the London setting. Alexandra has a lovely writing style that really helps the reader paint a picture of each scene.
I wasn’t too keen on Lucy and Henry’s relationship. I felt it was a bit too much of a rollercoaster. I just wanted Henry to make up his mind and stick to it.
I’ll definitely look to read future books by the author!
Thank you so much to @prbookgirl, @alexandrapaigewrites, @netgalley, @avonbooks, and @harpercollins for this advanced copy in exchange for my review. Weekends with You hits bookshelves on April 9, 2024!

Thanks to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Paige is a new-to-me author, and she caught my attention right from the first page. Her characters are appealing and very approachable, living lives that are comfortable, fun, and friendly. I loved their relationship as a group--very supportive of each other. Lucy is actually the main focus, although the secondary flatmates are fairly well-rounded as well. Lucy has an interesting career as a florist, and we have plenty of insight into her feelings about her work, her goals, and (especially) her attraction to Henry and friendship with Raja. Henry is a pretty wishy-washy main character, unable to make a decision about his job and where he wants to live. He seems to want a relationship with Lucy, but he can't bring himself to fully commit. The rest of the flatmates are entertaining and pleasant, and we learn bits and pieces about them, just enough to feel like close acquaintances and feel interest in their lives. I liked the format of dividing the book into months, featuring the Warehouse Weekends they participated in, meaning each flatmate had a turn as the "host" and would devise an entertaining weekend of activities for all of them, providing a way for them to stay in touch with each other and build their relationships. Great idea.

This debut novel, Weekends With You, by Alexandria Paige, did not read like debut novel for me. I absolutely LOVED the story of Lucy & her 7 roommates all living in a London warehouse converted to apartments. I loved that regardless of what they had going on personally/professionally they all came together, one weekend a month, for what was deemed Warehouse Weekends. Truly, a found family. I loved how each chapter centered around that month’s Warehouse Weekend.
I found the on again/off again relationship between Lucy & Henry to be relatable and felt my heart clench along with hers during several moments. I do want to take a second to say “Justice For Oliver”, I wish Lucy had been given the chance to explore that relationship a little more.
Thank you to NetGalley, Avon & Harper Publishing, & Alexandra Paige, for the opportunity to read Weekends With You ahead of its April 9th release date! I truly enjoyed reading & look forward to following along for future stories.
