Thank you so much Max Monroe for sending me this ARC!
Synopsis:
When he first speaks to Norah Ellis, a rambling runaway bride who hitchhikes a ride from him, it’s to tell her to get out of his truck and walk because she’s a pain in the a-s-s.
By appearance, Norah Ellis is a fancy fashionista who’s spent the last several years living the good life in the city—expensive apartments, highbrow events, and a fiancé with wealth and good looks. The only problem is that she didn’t choose any of it for herself.
On the day of her July wedding, thanks to a letter from a stranger, Norah’s world turns upside down. She runs for the hills of Vermont to start a new life, but what’s waiting for her, between her estranged sister, the townspeople, and bad-boy Bennett Bishop himself, is way more than she bargained for.
Enemies turn to lovers, strangers become friends, dark secrets bust open like cans of worms, and most of all…Summer will never be the same.
Review & thoughts:
What I Should’ve Said is the newest book from Max Monroe, my favorite rom-com authors, and so different than what I’ve come to expect from these authors but in such a good way, I absolutely loved it (despite the fact that my heart will never be the same) and can’t wait to see what Max and Monroe come up with next!
After discovering her life in New York has been a lie, Norah moves to a small town to stay with her sister. Not used to this kind of life, she tries to find her place there which proves difficult, especially since Bennett, a local whose first meeting with her couldn’t go more wrong, seems to dislike her despite their obvious chemistry. But when she starts working for him as his assistant and meets his daughter, Norah knows it’s going to be easy to fall in love with both of them and with a tragedy waiting to happen, both Ben and Norah need to decide if spending time together and becoming more that work associates is worth the unavoidable heartbreak.
This book was so unexpected and so freaking incredible I still cry whenever I think about it and when I see the cover ad remember what it means. Bennett, Norah and Summer, Bennett’s daughter, stole my heart and I absolutely loved reading their story, it broke my heart and then put it together again and OMG I just love it so much, I can’t remember when was the last time I cried so hard while reading a book. Norah and Bennett had beautiful enemies to lovers romance with the amazing banter I always love in Max Monroe books and they were so perfect together. Their scenes with Summer were my favorite and they made such a beautiful family, I loved this little girl and how she was a ray of sunshine in the whole book despite everything she went through. All of the characters were really well written and three dimensional and I already can’t wait to see more of them in the authors’s next books.
What I Should’ve Said is an absolutely incredible and emotional story about family, love, grief and I definitely recommend it to everyone, trust me, this book is so good and you don’t want to miss it.
