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 Another annoyance besides the fact that Annie just irritated and frustrated the living stoof out of me is that she would have dialogue that came OUT OF NOWHERE. It was like the author had mapped out these “scenes” and would just jump to them like a squirrel who got distracted by too many nuts. And you're just like, where did this come from? What are we talking about? Who, what, where, how? ALLL THE RELATIVE PRONOUNS! More praise for Sarah Adams' rom-coms, including The Cheat Sheet - the heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance that became a sensation on TikTok - and When in Rome. When in Rome is a small town, grumpy/sunshine, insta-love romance that is a cute, fun, sweet rom-com that had me smiling to myself and laughing a bit. What a loopdidoo of good and bad this was….so LET’S separate this into the good (what worked) and the bad (ooof).

The banter, the tension just everything in this book was fantastic and I cannot wait to read more from Sarah. . . A new favourite romance read that will have you grinning from start to end.’⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ in any case, this was simply delightful—from the MCs swoony friendship to their adorable romance. 🥰 i normally wouldnt go for this relationship tutoring scenario cause it tends to have the MCs being oblivious to their own true feelings or acting stubborn and in denial. it also usually has unwanted OM/W drama. however, my wariness was unfounded because the MCs communicate and the “OM” element isnt problematic. 🙌 i LOVE the fact that this doesnt have that “glow up/make over” scene like theres smth wrong with the h. the sibling conflict upset me, but i appreciated Annies moment of character development. all in all, this book was a gift i didnt know i wanted. i feel like it was specially written for me. ♥ Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group/Ballantine/Dell for sharing this amazing book's digital review copy with me in exchange for my honest thoughtsNoah recently took over his grandmother’s pie shop, after a devastating break-up with a woman he was going to marry. Rome is a typical small town where gossip is the lifeblood of the town, but Noah doesn’t want to do anything to be the target of the gossip ever again. He reluctantly lets Amelia stay with him until she can get her car fixed. But, what will happen when they spend all this time together?

When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn't have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He's too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room--but only until her car is fixed--then she's on her own.Small town romances are usually hit or miss for me because sometimes you end up loving the side characters more. In this case, I enjoyed the main characters but some of the side characters were questionable at first (Annie’s sisters felt like the only mean girls in the beginning) but they redeemed themselves. Also, do small towns really have the biggest gossipers?? They were really on Annie’s ass here lol Discover The Cheat Sheet– the heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance that became a sensation on TikTok!
