Cute and sweet so far.

I like that this book is shaping up to be a story about falling in love with one’s true self first, before opening up to falling in love, romantically, with another person.

I usually like slow-burn romances, but it doesn’t work for this book. I hoped The Intimacy Experiment would be a worthy follow-up to The Roommate, but it’s starting to look like it’s gonna fail on that front.

Chapter Nine. I just finished the Sydney half of this book, and let me tell you, i'm quite torn about how Lucy is behaving. So okay, we were made to think that maybe, just maybe, James was indeed cheating on her, and that he was painted in a less-than-admirable light because of his penchant for "white lies". Given that, we already have an idea their relationship is headed for a break-up.

12 chapters in 12 days, and i’m not even halfway finished. Title and premise seemed very interesting, but i’m finding myself bored. Lydia, the main female lead felt ordinary, not even a trace of quirkiness or humor in her. And there doesn’t seem to be anything swoon-worthy about Danny, her leading man. I don’t have a DNF shelf, and i don’t wanna start one, but this book just might make me go back to my reading slump.

Starting the month of May with this one.

Something light and fun this time.

I need a Max in my life.

Re-reading another favorite. :)

Loving the book so far. I just think that 6 whole chapters to tell a day’s worth of events is too much. Given there was flashback too, that’s fine, but there’s a lot going on in Ava’s head that drags the pacing a little.

I feel like i’ve been reading for hours now, and i’m still not done with this book. And i don’t mean it’s because the story is dragging. It’s just a glaring difference between the romance novels from over 10-20 years ago and the romance books of today, which i have been reading a lot of for the past few weeks.

Nolan Brooks reads and watches true crime documentaries. I’m in love. :)

I don’t care much for Cooper as a main lead, because he’s a horndog, but Caroline is worse. She’s too demanding and scared to take risks, then when things go wrong (or right) blame everything on Cooper.

Premise is great, but the execution is kinda falling short. It does not bode well for this book when, more than halfway through it, i find myself preferring to read a continuation of Loathe My Neighbor than finish this.

A quarter of the book was dedicated to just one day, the Sunday that “changed everything”. Sure, a lot happened. But it now feels like it's going to be one of those quick romances, where they fall in love in just two weeks.

Let’s start a new series, shall we?

Reading this book again, for the third time. I still love it as much as i did the first time, :)

If ever there’s a book for and about over-thinkers, this is it, absolutely it.

Halfway point now, about to start Chapter 12 (of 19), and the farthest the main characters have gotten is hand-holding. I said slow burn, but wow. Still not complaining though. I just hope the pay-off in the end will be worth it.

About to start Chapter 8. After reading fast-paced books for the past couple of weeks, Lease on Love is a bit of a slow burn story, but i like it.

Chapter Twenty-Four. This book shares a similar back and forth and repetitiveness as It Happened One Summer, but this one’s less boring and frustrating than the first one.

Chapter Seven. This one’s off to a better start than it’s predecessor. I like it.

Chapter Twenty-Three. The story is starting to drag a little bit. But, we’re now getting a sneak peak of a few going-ons in Hannah’s life, whose story we will follow in the next book, that it breaks the monotonous pacing of this book.

Chapter Thirteen. Well, well, well. This is turning out to be a good book. Lots of funny moments, peppered with enough heartwarming ones that are engaging. Let’s see if it can pull off a good conflict or bump in the road next.

I’m only reading this book, mainly, so i can be done with it and start the second book in the series, which i think is more my kind of story. But hopefully, this won’t be a bore.

I like the usual enemies to lovers trope, but i have a hard time getting board on this one. It’s gone on way too long, and the more i read about Jonathan, it’s like, when he’s nice, he’s really nice, but when he’s bad, he’s really really bad.
