Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe
4.0
This book!! I really enjoyed it. I admit it took me a couple chapters to get into it (no clear reason why, could have just been a mood I was in), but because a few friends had read and enjoyed it, I stayed with it and I'm so glad I did.
I flipped between audiobook and an ebook, depending on mood, situation, etc. and really appreciated having the option to do so.
I thought the actors for the audiobook were great - the male actor with the southern accent - swoon. I felt the female actor really captured Brooke's sometimes frenetic energy, anxiousness, and humour. Well done.
Brief overview:
Brooke is a romance writer. One night, she drunkenly emails the wrong manuscript to her new editor, Chase. When it turns out he loves the book and wants to get it published, Brooke doesn't tell him its a mistake and that the romance book is based on him and her and it was her outlet to fantasize about the big crush she has on Chase. Oopsies.
As the two embark on a cross-country road trip to promote a Netflix show based on a book Brooke wrote, the two get closer and closer, eventually acting on their mutual attraction. But, at some point, the truth has to come out...
Also getting a starring role in the book is Brooke's service dog, Benji.
What I liked about this book:
- the sexual tension between Chase and Brooke - and then when they acted on it? damn.
- Brooke's ability to take her chronic illness in stride and find the humour in it.
- the banter, the jokes, Brooke's silliness - all these provided for many lighthearted moments during the book to counter the more serious issues
- the set-up for a sequel focused on Brooke's sister (please, let this be true!!)
other thoughts:
- I did find the book was a bit long, so it took me longer to read than I was anticipating
- I'm always amazed by books written by more than one author and how it doesn't read like multiple brains were involved. Great job with getting the 'one voice.'
I'll definitely be reading more books by Max Monroe!
Thanks to NetGalley and the authors for an eARC and ALC of the book. All opinions are my own.
