[Jessica · Rating 2 out of 5]

While this was a cute little...whatever it was it was only about a quarter of an actual story. The heroine is too naive to be relatable and the romance went from 0 to 100 in a span of like 2 pages. The writing was actually decent though there were a lot of British (welsh?) words/general life things that i just wasn't familiar with. The whole thing needed to be fleshed out more though or at least had a more toned down epilogue. You cant go from i'll call you so you have my number to moving in together and in love within 2 pages even in an epilogue it just felt abrupt. I would have enjoyed it alot more as a prequel or something more fleshed out with a more realistic heroine

The book was short and sweet, just like expected. However, I felt as if many things were rushed in the story, maybe because it's a quick read. could've been elaborate on events in the book.

Cute love story

[Wren James · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very cute and sweet! Love Beth's books so much - the perfect story to read in a bubble bath with a glass of wine.

I sort of hoped this was longer, but alas, it wasn't. It should be included in an anthology featuring this kind of love, because that way it won't disappoint much.
Not that I was disappointed, but I wanted a bit more of character development, a bit more of pizzazz, however, I didn't get any.
Either way, it's a pretty fast read, so there you go.

3.5 stars

Cwtch Me If You Can, by Beth Reekles, is a quick, cute read about a hopeless romantic named Alex. After she falls apart at a restaurant on Valentine's day because her boyfriend breaks up with her on the date, her waiter Sean comes to her rescue. Fate seems to be pushing these two together. Too bad that Alex has sworm off guys, entirely unwilling to risk heartbreak again.

Alex's broken heart was easy to relate to, and Sean was super swoony. Unfortunately, even for a novella the book barely scratched the surface. This is really the story of Alex accepting that finding love and having romance in her life is important to her, more so than the story of Alex and Sean falling in love. You get a peak at their attraction, which was just lovely. It would have been so great to see their potential explored in a little more depth.

3.5/5 stars. It was a fun quick read, prefect for the read-a-thon challenge. But kinda got repetitive (her thoughts anyway).
But hey it's the FIRST new adult book that I actually like and I didn't force myself to finish it

Está bien para una lectura rápida, recomendado para el público juvenil que quiera leer algo rápido y entretenido

Sounds more typical then the typical, teenage angst cliche of Beth Reekles and if I don't like the rest or if I do, either way this will be last on my list. Seems more like other famous books then her already similar other ones! Seen this story before
