The Art of Almost
Riddled with anxiety, Liv Everhart has spent her entire life folded between the pages of books, swallowed by escape through film and art. New York was always the dream, but for her, living alone in the Big Apple meant repetitive days, long shifts at the cafe, and a longing for an art career that could never work. Liv faces a ticking clock—only weeks to acquire thousands of dollars for an art program to stay in the city. Her hope is lost, and she’s quickly coming to realize her harsh fate.
Nate Vanderbilt is the name floating around the front pages of newspapers everywhere. The all-perfect, charming, British guy with a real estate empire ever expanding. What the world fails to see is the past he’s done an immaculate job of hiding…
Liv and Nate’s run-ins are practically inevitable. They manage to find their way to each other at every event, bookstore, or cafe. The closer they grow, the further those walls they’d spent so long building collapse. When secrets unveil, and Liv inches closer to her payment date, everything changes.

before i start, i just wanna say i’m not hating on the author under any circumstances. writing a book is incredibly hard, and publishing one as a teenager is an amazing feat
my main issue with this book is that things moved way too fast. so many things happened and it felt so rushed and confusing since this book is only 180 pages long. the fmc fell for the mmc super quick, and when she found out that the mmc’s mom died a few years prior, she had a panic attack after only knowing him for like 4 days. a lot of moments like that one felt so out-of-place. i think that those scenes could’ve worked if the pacing was done better and the book was longer
also, this book just didn’t feel original. tons of scenes were taken from romcoms and were already done. i mean, a love confession in the rain like 120 pages in? mind you they just met a couple of weeks ago. near the end of the book, she has a conversation with her taxi driver and although it tried to be wholesome, it felt forced, which results in her telling the driver to stop the car and runs to the mmc. this doesn’t even make any sense because they weren’t fighting and were already together. what was the point of that?
a huge part of the plot is that the fmc, livy, doesnt have the money to pay for tuition for art school at NYU after dropping out of fashion school. first off, why’d she go to fashion school in the first place if she’s always wanted to be an artist? secondly, why is she not letting anyone help her pay? how on earth is she living in nyc when her only job is being a barista?
overall, i just couldn’t get over the huge plot holes and insta-love. i wish the author well tho, and hope she continues to pursue writing!!

i feel kind of bad rating the book so low because i really like this author’s content, she’s a young teen author and i’m assuming she reads these reviews and i do not want to discourage her at all!! it’s an incredible accomplishment to write a book at a young age, my review is just constructive criticism.
‘’
i read the kindle version of this book, so maybe it’s different if you have a physical copy, but this was my experience. there were so many grammatical and !!formatting!! errors. like every chapter had some kind of formatting error. some chapters were intended while others were one massive block of text, i also think it’s just so short to be a real book. i read it in 55 minutes. if it were a novella for an already existing series i would understand, but it was just so short and rushed.
‘’
overall, the formatting was the worst part. it was just so distracting.

4.75🌟 where i do I even start? This book was so so freaking amazing, adorable and heartwarming. I read it in one sitting, and that should just tell you how good it was.
Nate is a real man, the way he cares for Livy is so adorable. And that he knew that he could do stuff herself, but he wanted to help her and he did it without making it seem like she wasn’t able too. I loved that he also had story behind him and stuff that ’haunted’ him, because sometimes in romance books I find that it’s only the woman who has stuff going on.
Livy is the cutest girl ever. She’s so easy to relate and connect to. I absolutely loved that she wouldn’t let any man talk down on women like that. She’s an absolute angel.
Nate and Livy are so adorable ughhhh. When i tell you i squealed when they FINALLY kissed!! The slow-burn was torture but i also loved it.
The character development was so good, and I love that we got so much character depth. Sometimes books really slacks that, but this one certainly did not.
If you love fall, rom-coms and slow burns, this book is definitely for you!!
Sophie my girl I am so beyond proud of you.

ARC reader
I did really enjoy this book. It was well written and had a good plot. But I do have a reason for giving it such a low rating. It was very cliche and trope heavy, which I sometimes enjoy but it wasn’t hitting for this book, personally. Nate was the type of guy you think of and go, oh, he really wants to be the perfect guy and it shows but it shows in a forceful way if that makes sense. I feel like a lot of the scenes where there wasn’t meant to be chemistry felt forced and there wasn’t actual chemistry. Plus, I refuse to believe a grown MAN reads Jane freaking Austen, but that’s just me being nit picky haha. I also didn’t really care for the fact Nate opened up so quick about something (you’ll find out when you read because I’m trying to do no spoilers!!) which wasn’t very realistic for the moment. It was like watching actors who can’t act try to make an emotional scene.. but in a book. Livy was a cute character, and she has realistic struggles, although she was a bit cringey at times. The only thing i genuinely don’t like about her is her crying when she learns about Nate’s mother’s death. And then HE comforts HER for his own mother’s death. I get it, empath. But I just cannot with those types of people. I think is it very well thought out and written for a debut first novel, especially as a teenager. A chapter I cringed out at a lot though was chapter 12 because, personally, I feel like Nate’s character and actions were a bit over the top and just cringey. To add more onto my Nate hate train, I didn’t exactly like the implication Nate would leave his girlfriend (if she wasn’t a cheater) because she was a prostitute. Sex work is real work!! This review is my opinion, and I did enjoy the book!! I just have a few complaints, as I’m sure most book reviewers do. I would recommend this book.

I loved this book! It was such a good debut, especially from a teen author. It literally destroyed me emotionally, but I enjoyed every second of it—it had ALL the feels.
Nate and Liv are seriously so cute, and their relationship had me wishing for something like theirs. I was completely invested in them and their story from start to finish.
Once again, I loved this book SO much, and I’m already so, so, so excited to see what’s next for Sophie Schweim! Great job girlie pop.

Writing reminded me of a wattpad fanfic which I do understand this is her first published book and she has alot of room for improvement. The story was sweet and I liked how it represented mental heath. it made me feel seen with my own struggles with anxiety which you dont see much in books.
September 1, 2026
literally what am i even supposed to say about this book because it was PERFECT!! cutest romance of all time. genuinely if i could give this six stars i would.
i read this book so quickly because of how much i loved it, and every single time i put it down i was thinking about it. like actually thinking about the characters and what was gonna happen next instead of doing literally anything else.
liv everhart is genuinely such a special main character to me because there were SO many little things about her that i could see in myself. and nate vanderbilt??? yeah. he is the standard now. THE STANDARD. there were so many tiny moments between them that made their relationship feel so special, and i was literally laughing, squealing, kicking my feet, and staring at the page while reading.
there’s one scene in particular that i can’t talk about without spoiling it, but just know nate vanderbilt gained about 1000 more points in my book during that scene. the way he stood up for liv??? yeah. i’m unwell.
also the whole book felt like a rom-com mixed with a taylor swift music video. there’s literally a scene that gave me SUCH “you belong with me” vibes and i was just sitting there like ARE YOU SERIOUS THIS IS SO CUTE! it was genuinely perfect.
and the FALL vibes??? hello??? this was literally the perfect intro-to-fall read. the cozy atmosphere, the romance, the little moments, everything about it just felt like autumn. if you’re planning on reading this, READ IT IN THE FALL. trust me.
i’m also obsessed with how much representation is included in this story. it was handled so naturally and made the characters and their world feel even more real.
and obviously i have to talk about the author because she deserves all the love in the world. she is genuinely one of the sweetest, most angelic people ever. she treats everyone with so much patience, kindness, and respect, and knowing her makes reading her work even more special. her writing is AMAZING and i genuinely could not be more proud of her.
this book was fun, adorable, romantic, cozy, and just an absolute joy to read. i laughed, i squealed, i kicked my feet, i stared at the page like an idiot, and i loved every second of it.
five stars. six if i could. 💗🍂
nate vanderbilt is the standard now. i don't make the rules.

Oh my goodness. I genuinely can’t recommend this book enough. This story proves why reading and writing are so important—literature helps people feel seen and validated. Sophie’s lyrical writing is absolutely gorgeous and her characters are so relatable. I really connected to Liv and just wanted to give her a hug. And Nate…. yeah, he’s definitely been added to the top of my book boyfriend list 🤭💓
Sophie handled some really intense and mature topics (i.e. severe anxiety and domestic violence) with so much care and empathy. This book is beyond a romance, it brings such important and REAL content to life. Sophie is the perfect example of an artist who uses her voice to make a difference in the world. I’m positive that Liv and Nate are going to help so many readers. They definitely helped me :)
Also, the autumn vibes are absolutely unmatched !! I think I’ll need to do a reread in October with a pumpkin spice latte, cozy blanket, and a Nora Ephron movie in the background.
I’ve said it several times and I’ll say it again: I can’t recommend this book enough. There is something in this story for everyone. Sophie, thank you for the ARC, and I look forward to seeing how you continue to change the world 💓💓

This was a 4.5 star read for me but it deserves the round up. I was gonna try and make this review short but I don't know if I can because this was just so amazing that I have to speak about it. I read this book in ONE day, I loved it that much.
If you are looking for a fast paced romance, this is one that will certainly fit your interests, though I wouldn't pick it up if you're looking for a long slow burn. Me personally, I love fast paced books so this fit my liking perfectly.
Sophie is an insanely talented writer and this book and it's characters have genuinely left an imprint on my heart.
For those saying Nate Vanderbilt is a basic guy, I completely disagree. Nate and Liv had me giggling, kicking my feet, and throwing the book across the room.
Sophie perfectly balanced out all different emotions and this book truly was one to remember. This is insane for a debut novel, I couldn't be more obsessed if I tried. I cannot wait to see more work from Sophie in the future because being her friend, I know things and I know stuff is coming. Soph, I'm so proud of you!

I am so incredibly honored that I got to read this masterpiece of a book early. Everything about this book just felt so heartwarming and sweet. Livy is such a relatable character, her development throughout the book is so beautiful and she’s so inspiring for the teen girls I know will want to read this book. Her and Nate have such a fairytale-like romance and he definitelyyy raised my standards. 🤭 The reason why this book felt so special is because of how real the characters and the plot felt, it wasn’t just another easy going story, they have struggles they need to face and what’s so beautiful is that they face them together. It’s inspiring, it’s sweet, it’s all the best parts of romance mixed into one dazzling book and I’d recommend it to anyone who asked. Sophie is so talented and her writing is really just impeccable. There’s nothing quite like ‘the art of almost’ and I hope people will love this story just as much as I did. 💗

“Real love was fun and sweet. It was vulnerable and raw. Real love was the kindhearted girl with a head of golden curls.”
I loved this book so much! Liv is by far the most relatable character I’ve read about. Her anxiety was written so well and as someone who’s struggled with it all of my life, every little habit Liv has is so true to what it’s like.
The setting is great giving that 2000s romcom feel, even if the book itself did not feel like a romcom at times (thanks for making me cry).
Getting into some issues I had with the book. It was very fast, especially for the scenes that I think needed to be slow. I also think having some more mundane scenes of them doing everyday tasks would help demonstrate how the characters deal with their anxiety and trauma.
Overall, this is such a cute book and I enjoyed it so much. I’ve been waiting for this book for months and it did not disappoint.
Ps I would love a whole book that’s just Nate’s pov.

The Art Of Almost by Sophie Schweim is one of the most beautiful books you will ever read from the cover to every small detail Nate remembers about Liv. Sophie writes in a way that’s fun, relatable, heart-warming in the happy moments, and heart-wrenching in the sad moments (keep tissues next to you as you read it). This beautiful book delivered many crucial messages, but the one that stuck with me was that you never know what could be happening in someone else’s life, no matter how perfect it seems. That will stick with me forever. If you love romance books with no spice, HOT HOT HOT male leads, true character growth, and a HEART FLUTTERING love confession, you need to read “The Art Of Almost” by Sophie Schweim. And this book is, in fact, truly an exquisite piece of art.

oh my gosh, such a phenomenal book by sophie, i was lucky enough to recieve an arc and i am SO grateful that i did, the book had an amazing premise, liv was a struggling artist and nate was the relator she spilt coffee on twice. this book also touched on heavy topics such as anxiety and abuse, yet executed representing said heavy topics perfectly, it even made me cry(chapter ten im looking at you). it also had so many pop culture references such as the references to the FRIENDS tv show, which i absolutely adore. All in all, sophie truly outdid herself with this book and i cannot wait for another book. ( sloane and asher PLEASE)

The Art of Almost is a book that everyone and their mothers need to add to their reading list. I was lucky enough to receive an arc of this book by Sophie and when I tell you this was life changing I am not lying!!! I am more of a fantasy girly, but let me just say I was HOOKED beginning to end. I have never ever read a book in one sitting, but with this I did. The way Liv and Nate’s relationship was written is just such a masterpiece itself. This is easily a five star for me. I hope this gets picked up by a publishing company and Sophie makes it out there as more than just an indie author because she deserves it all!

4.5 stars! This book is honestly everything a rom com obsessed girl would love. I felt so seen reading this book and I think the writing is incredibly good and mature and it developed the story in a great way. It was such an easy and fast story to read, and it honestly left me wanting this book to be longer. I’m so happy I could read this early, and get to know both characters and what they were going through in a deeper and emotional level. I think this is amazing representation and I cannot wait for more people to love this book.

Wonderful writing!! Not my usual genre, but I still adored the storyline and all the characters. (Sloash 4eva!!) This book beautifully captures the love, fears, adventures, and pain of the young adult life.
Book details aside, (too scared I might spoil something…soz!) I’m so incredibly proud of Sophie for putting her work out there. It takes so much courage and determination.
Would definitely recommend and read again!!

This was AMAZING !! Reading this book made me realize how much I see myself in some of these characters, Liv especially. I read this in one sitting and I loved every single minute of it. I love the fact that Nate is a big fan of Jane Austen (me too !) The whole book gave me huge Pride and Prejudice 2005 vibes, and I love that in a book. Liv found her very own Mr. Darcy💛This was a great debut novel, and I can’t wait to read more !!

YOU GUYSSSSS 😭🩷 Not enough words could ever describe how much I absolutely LOVED this book. The setting, the characters, the storyline, the emotional depth, and the way it captured such real life struggles was so beautifully done. 🥺 I connected with Liv on such a deep level and found myself relating to her throughout so much of the story. Her character and everything she and Nate went through had my whole heart . 🥺🩷 The Art of Almost was TRULY outstanding.

Oh. My. Gosh. This book was so good, I don't even know how to describe this. It literally took me one day to read this I was just so sucked in! Don't even get me started on the main character she is so relatable that it literally hurts. What I loved most was that the characters felt like real people, And the tension is this book is INSANE my heart was literally pounding at almost every interaction. To be honest a 5/5 stars doesn't even do this book justice it is just that good!!
September 6, 2026
this was so cute!! i’ve been wanting to read this book for months. i’ve been patiently waiting for the release date so i was very excited for this. livy and nate are so cute oh my goodness. this was so well written, it felt like i was reading an adults writing, not a teenager’s. i loved this book so much and i can’t wait for november 1st (😉)

I loved the characters they all had such bold personalities. The perception of mental health was very well written and relatable. Lots of quotable lines! For a debut novel, this is amazing Sophie!!! I can't wait for your next books. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I loved this book so much!! I loved the setting and I related to the FMC a lot in this book. I loved the couple but my only complaint was that the book was so short, I wanted more of the story but I still loved it either way. It is really impressive that the author is only 15 and wrote this, I couldn’t even imagine. Overall this book is 4.5 ⭐️

literally discovered this book off of another young author’s reposts so I picked it up immediately I loved Livy and Nate’s intense chemistry and showing each other how they deserved to be loved properly by one another. Incredible writing made me feel as if I was watching it all unfold myself.

This book was sooooo cute!! I loved both the MC’s and it was such an easy and cute read! This was lokey the perfect book to get me back into my reading groove and keep me out of a slump. Also I LOVE to support a teen girl author yes sirrrrr. I pray Sophie writes more of Livy and Nate 🙏💗
