I LOVED THIS!!! I had a smile on the face throughout the entire book. Quincy and Juju were super cute together and the way they met was really unique.
But let’s face it, Quincy Junior, Quincy’s daughter was the real MVP of this book. Her interactions with Quincy were my favorites. She had me cracking up every time. The mouth on that girl…….whew!
I just wish the story was longer but I also think it was perfect just the way it was.

It was on its way to being a five stars

I liked the concept of the story. The build up was a little more than I normally like but it’s the trend now days so I can’t say it’s a bad thing. I really like the story in itself. It completely lived up to my expectations. However the ending completely sucked. It’s like the author was on a word count and just ended the story when it reached that many words. It was watching someone run a beautiful quarter mile only to pull up and sort of coast the last 5 meters to go from first place to fourth. Just disappointing to have to sit through.

I hated to see this book end🤦🏾‍♀️

I really love this author’s humor and creativity! I read A LOT, but when I saw this new book from Nicole Falls I dropped everything and got this book. It was so good! When I got to the end I was bombed out. I love JuJu...well I love the Holliday sisters, but JuJu and her brand of snark definitely speaks to my spirit. I learned so much about her and loved her even more at the end. Quincey...my, my, my! I loved him and his relationship with Junie was wonderful.

I highly recommended this book and anything this author writes. Beware if you’re reading in public, laughing out loud while reading her work is guaranteed to happen!

I’m ambivalent about this one. It was okay but I wasn’t feeling the chemistry between Juniper and Quincy at all! I felt like Juniper’s characterization was a bit uneven- was she laid back or was she high strung? Was she take control or was she passive and indecisive? Was she assertive and lacking in a filter or was she unable to communicate her feelings and thus acting out at times??? As for Quincy, was he really feeling Juniper or did his family and friends pressure him into it because why did it take him ages to even send her a message after he knew who she was. I feel like their story was cuter than they were together if that makes sense. I liked the idea of them but the execution was iffy. Then the Juju/Juni/Junior character naming similarities didn’t have to be that way..

Overall, it was just alright. I read this in audio and while the MMC had a gorgeous voice in tone, it was a little ready in the delivery and didn’t set Quincy up well at all.

A single dad trope. I liked the daughter's meddling in her dad's love life lol.

Mind your own Juju

One word: QUINCY! 😍❤️ He was everything. I think I’m going to have to pick your brain & weird science him to life. Now on to my bestie Juniper it was so sweetly written about her fears of falling but boom ish got real, real quick. Loved it & Jonique was good for obvious reasons 🤷🏾‍♀️ LOVED IT NICYONCÉ ❤️

Great book

Awwwww I'm glad JuJu met her match in Quincy. I was glad when they both stopped playing and actually got to know one another. Great way to end the series

Juniper and Quincy didn't seem to match too well to me. I wish there was more background on exactly what happened with Junipers ex, to get more context on why she's so skittish with Quincy, yet I understand there's only so much that can go into a novella.

Quincy has this really good, yet somewhat odd relationship with his teen daughter and he sees that as possibly being an issue in his relationship with Juniper, yet I think Quincy Jr, or Juni as Quincy calls her, just wants to see her dad in a happy relationship. Yes, boundaries need to be set, yet it wasn't as dramatic as it was set out to be.

The narration for this book was as lackluster as the previous one. I hope the last book in this series has a better narrator.

Good read.

This novelette was about the baby Holliday sister Juniper aka Juju and Quincy her future baby zaddy. After posting a selfie with him in the background their mutual IG friends led them to each other to explore the spark they had on the train the day Juniper took
the selfie.

This was a good story and good follow up to make up for my disinterest in the last storyline. Juniper way funny in the last books so she didnt disappoint in this one. Quincy's daughter Quincey Junior was to much with her nosey self she had me chuckling at her antics the entire book. This was a great follow up, I enjoyed this one.

Superb!

Nicoynce has done it again! Been waiting to hear JuJu's story and was not disappointed. At. All. Quincy was the perfect match for this dynamo of a woman. JuJu's sisters, brudda, BFF and Q's boys, as well as his Jr. really set this story apart for me. The flow of the story was relatable, on point and definitely hilarious. I always laugh through Ms. Falls' books. And her command of the vernacular will have you in stitches! I loved it!!! Seriously, this was a great book and you owe it to yourself to read it.☺

Cute!

This story was a great meet cute from beginning to end. Especially when the universe brought Quincy and Juniper together on multiple occasions. It is also good to see something beautiful blossom into a relationship due to a selfie pic on social media, which sometimes have a negative connotation attached to it. All in all I'm glad to see that all of the holiday sisters are happy and content with what I like to call their soul mates. Great Read! 👍 I wanted a little more at the end, but I guess I'll use my imagination. Lol! ReneeG

Hmmmm...

This book started out super cute, but fell flat for me pretty quickly. It felt like more time was spent on Joey and Junior trying to persuade JuJu and Quincy to get together than was spent on actually seeing them together. A lot of their interaction is off the page, so we get to hear more about their connection than actually see and feel it.

I'm just realizing that this is not a novella, but a novellette, which explains why it's so short. Hoping that the author revisits these two and gives us a little bit more. Our girl JuJu deserves it.

Let me tell you! I LOVE this book. It was a modern way to tell how you can really find someone random and start crushing on them. Author Nicole Falls is hilarious lol. If her writing is funny like this, I HAVE to meet her in person. I must say, this was my first read from Nicole Falls and it WON'T be my last.

This novella was short but yet fulfilling. Get your hands on this book. PLUS if you have Kindle Unlimited its on the FRIZZLLLEE a.k.a FREE so get on it and get the book. LIKE NOW! lol

This was a very cute short book. I wished it was a little longer, but gave a complete story. I do wish that there was a little more in the way of saying how much time had passed. In one part of the story Quincy cancels a date because his daughter was in an accident and the next Juniper is at the mall and his daughter walks up and introduces herself. I thought he had lied, but it's sometime later.

Quick read on a few hours book.

Great short

Great read as usual i love how Jupiter got with Quincy and it took his daughter and jonique to put them together. She just needed to let her walls come down to accept and can't be in control all the time but he got her together real quick. Wish it was longer but it was most definitely good.

Loved it, not as much as I loved Noelle or Valors but loved it nonetheless

Juniper surprised me. I wish I could attend one of her classes and get some more tricks to add to my collection lmao. I hated how she clammed up on boy Quincy but I'm glad she gave him a chance. It ended too fast though. I need more!!

A selfie and a caption met...

So, a selfie and a caption met and connected two strangers on a train...is how Juniper and Quincy should explain how they met to their future grands. This was a great little story about finding love unexpectedly. I like them together. Quincy treasures her and treats her beautiful while showing her he's all man.

This one is my favorite thus far!

Juniper has been a little spitfire throughout the sister's books so I couldn't wait to read her story. And what a cute story it was. How ironic her love interest had a daughter that shared the same name. The girl group discussion was just hilarious. Wonder what Ginger's story will be like? I just know I will be looking forward to it.

MYOP.....Yassssssssssss

I love the business that Juniper and Joey have together that teaches how to please your partner sexually and yourself that only comes through awareness. I like how a IG post started the beginning of a relationship for Quincey and Juniper. I love Valora and Francisco is expecting their first baby.

The Right Vibe

After loving book one and feeling underwhelmed with book two, I wasn’t sure what to expect with this installment. I was very happy to see that the fun, flirty vibe of book one reappeared. JuJu and Quincy are super cute together. I’m loving the updates on the other sisters’ lives. I’m excited to start book four!

This was cute. I'm not sure I've read anything else by this author, but I will seek her out for sure now. Its a short novella narrated by Marissa Hampton and Bryce Hardin. While Marissa was on point, Bryce's performance left a bit to be desired IMO. Otherwise, the story was cute, light and fun.

Happy or Content?

This story was a perfect reflection of the time we live in now. Social media has a heavy impact on society and I love how it was integrated into this story. It was great catching up with those hilarious Holliday sisters.

JuJu and Quincy

I liked the chemistry between these two. I can count on plenty of laughs while reading a Nicole Falls book and this one didn't disappoint. Hope there's more from this couple.
