I’m on a joy-seeking reading quest so have been looking forward to this. It is pretty charming and delightful and the sex is very good but the dialogue didn’t quite ring true to me and Christian’s style is a little wordy for my taste (as in she uses too many of them to get to where she wants to go and there was many a darling that should have been killed). And I wish I could be so articulate after two bottles of wine! But I’m being fussy and there is much joy to be found here. If you’re needing or looking for lightness and joy (or sex with a tattooed Viking) then it can be found here.

Hello. I am obsessed with this book.

I don’t know where to start but really, this was incredible, laugh out loud funny and just hit all the right notes for me. Maybe it’s Bc I’m a mid 30s, unmarried gal myself, so I identified with Noni. But I think what I loved the most is how honest it all felt. Refreshingly honest and without judgement.

I don’t want to say too much more about the plot line, because I think the surprise of how it all plays out is the best part. But let’s just say our gal Noni decides she needs some change in her life, and this is the hysterical, messy but raw account of that.

This was another @therippedbodice #readromancerepeat subscription box pick, and clearly the lesson here is that I should read them faster

just finished the ebook of this one and i think it's highly highly overrated. the main character Noni Blake is going on a self discovery to Europe but turns out it was more about the number of people she's had sex with. like, she's having sex in almost every chapter. i felt completely put off by that. her meetings with strangers on her journey were so unbelievable and not at all realistic. this book does have a pretty cover and at times Noni was funny as hell but i felt like i've been reading some *thingy* diary lol. this was just too much
