NetGalley Review: Booked on a Feeling by Jayci Lee

Booked on a Feeling by Jayci Lee


Rating:   ✩✩✩✩✩


This contemporary romance checked so many boxes for stories I love, but it just didn’t get all the way there for me.

I loved:

  • A book about books and book lovers
  • Overachievers chilling out
  • Telling toxic family to take a hike
  • Friends to lovers and so much pining
  • Food! So much food talk!

On those fronts, this book was a delightful read.  All the fun tropes, very sexy slow-burn and characters that are genuinely

interesting (not manic-pixie-dream-quirky).

But…after all that great character development and making the reader truly fall in love with this couple, its conflict, crash and burn, magic turnaround that works out perfectly, and DONE! For such a beautifully developed love story, the ending was just “and then HEA with perfect lives.”  However, I am interested in reading Jayci Lee’s other books, so I would still place this one on my “Recommend List.”

I liked the look of this book and the premise. But, I didn't request it because the last book I read from this author was good, but not amazing. Glad you enjoyed it.
