The male protagonist, Will, is a body guard and ex-military. He hates romantic relationships because of his parents bad marriage.

I enjoyed seeing Annie and Will navigating and working through what they thought they wanted in life for reasons entirely rooted in circumstances/trauma from the past. I binged this book in a few hours and could not put it down. SARAH ADAMS YOU BEAUTIFUL SOUL. This was an incredible read filled with heart, finding your path, laughter and all the LOVE.' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ I would elaborate, but now the only thing swirling around my brain is the reproductive cycle of flowers (which I find deeply fascinating), but I have a distinct feeling that John is not the type to marvel at life science. So I clamp my mouth shut again. Will doesn't believe in love after suffering from years-long dysfunctional relationships of his own parents. And Annie is a full commitment girl who wants to survive through a date without making her significant other bored to death. But she realizes she is more than a boring, inexperienced wallflower. Will helps her explore her restrained true identity and her adventurous side. But what if Annie doesn't want to date any man instead of her brooding coach, who is a cinnamon bun hiding behind a rough facade? And what if Will breaks his strict rules and opens his heart to true love? The relationship between Annie and Will is sort of a slow burn, without the 'burn' part, but there is also an instant attraction between them, which we are very aware of every time they talk or just see each other. I missed a more gradual progression and the excitement of 'will they, won't they'. I mean, obviously they will, since this a romance, but Annie's "I only want to get married" and Will's "I never want a relationship" didn't carry any weight here.There is so much to love about Practice Makes Perfect. You have a great small-town romance with adorable side characters, a strong family and a great friend. You have a really fun relationship coach storywhere the hottie bodyguard signs up to “teach” the sweet flower shop owner how to be comfortable on dates who ends up giving her all her firsts. Sarah writes books that truly make me smile. They’re kind and hopeful, playful and feel-good. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT was all of that in spades.’ CHLOE LIESE The best thing about their love story is that they did everything not to hurt each other. There was no unnecessary angst or misunderstanding that made the characters miserable. Besides their physical attraction, their open communication and blooming friendship made me giddy! Especially seeing the presumed bad boy Will turning into a knight in shining armor, a caring, sweet lover boy, warmed my heart! if you’ve been reading my updates you OBVIOUSLY knew this would be a 5 star but review to come bc i need to sit in my puddle of emotions for a bit 😭🩷😭🩷😭🩷😭🩷 If I waited until I felt confident to live my life and do the things I want to do, I’d never live.”

Amid steamy practice dates and strictly “educational” tutoring lessons, Annie discovers there are more layers to Will’s usual stoic attitude.What a loopdidoo of good and bad this was….so LET’S separate this into the good (what worked) and the bad (ooof). Iam convinced dating was created by an evil villain to torturehumanity. Dramatic? Not in the least. For introverts like me withsocial anxiety, the process of dating is equivalent to waxing your The only reason I’m pushing through my terrible social anxiety now is because I’m fully confident that marriage is the Thing that’s missing. I wish I could call my parents to get their opinion, but because they died when I was three, that will never be an option. So instead, I’m following in their footsteps. Happily married by the age of twenty-eight. That gives me just under a year to find the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. But the real showstopper of this romance are the main characters, their banter and their interactions together. The majority of their communication was so honest and open (which I loved) especially on Wills end like yess we love a man who can ACTUALLY communicate. At first it did feel like insta love but I still ate it up as it didn’t feel cringey to me like most.

Definitely better than When in Rome, by a lot. From the first paragraph, I could tell this will be a good one. PDF / EPUB File Name: Practice_makes_perfect_-_Sarah_Adams.pdf, Practice_makes_perfect_-_Sarah_Adams.epub You can always count on a Sarah Adams rom-com to be equal parts funny, sweet, and swoony’ SOPHIE SULLIVAN After she overhears her latest date say she is “so unbelievably boring,” Annie starts to think the problem might be her.Sarah Adams’ books are woven with pure sunshine and rainbows . . . It’s everything you could want in a small town romance, along with a heaping dollop of her signature wit and sparkling charm’ AMY LEA I mean, Adams could not have written their dialogue any better. I was just instantly hooked by these two who were instantly hooked by each other. On top of that, it was sweet, easy going with some profound moments, there’s fake dating involved but it’s not dragged out, and relatable mostly bc of the FMC (hello social anxiety/introvert rep) which Sarah conveyed in a humorous way and I definitely related to Annie on this front. but a side effect of being the one who listens and comforts is that people rarely offer to listen or comfort me.”
