Booked on a Feeling (A Sweet Mess, #3)

Thank you NETGALLEY and ST. MARTINS for the arc!
Booked on a Feeling is a romcom about two childhood friends who have gone their separate ways in life but are still very close. Lizzy is in LA pursuing her� “dream� of becoming an attorney. She’s on track to make a partner and after winning her first case, she starts to realize that maybe this profession isn’t quite for her. Blaming it on “burnout,� she moves to the small town of Weldon where her best friend since childhood lives with his family, Jack.
Lizzy rents a small apartment above a bookstore owned by a single mother and she takes it upon herself to help the bookstore out. Jack, of course, gets dragged in because how could he say “no� to the girl that he’s been in love with since he was 10? Jack is a sweet book-boyfriend who valued his friendship too much to make a move. Lizzy (who is also very sweet) is productive and always busy. Before this trip, she never really thought of Jack in a romantic light.
I liked Lizzy’s and Jack’s characters most of the time. They both weren’t awkward throughout the book, their relationship was adorable, and they were the cutest nerds. Besides that, I just had irks with the writing and how the story was executed. These things just really prevented me from enjoying this book more than I did. Yes, it was fun at times, but it didn’t stand out that much.
I did like how realistic their own problems were. Lizzy felt the need to please her mother who wanted her to be an attorney, so she pushed everything away. She forgot about her own dreams and felt overwhelmed with the thought of tackling them since she had worked so hard for her job. Meanwhile, Jack worked at his family’s brewery as the “numbers man,� handyman, and a waiter. He just felt like he wasn’t contributing as much as everyone else since his siblings brewed, his mom cooked, and his dad helped around everywhere. (Jack was contributing a lot.)
Anywho, they were still cute but I've read quite a few romance books that I enjoyed a lot more.
