T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
When I am looking for an exceptional Contemporary Romance, three things top my list: Strong female lead character. Romantic relationship with someone who could also be your best friend. And, the romance is not the "salvation" solution... Meaning romance does not deter you from discovering who you are first.
And when all of this can be done with a generous sprinkling of chemistry that literally shoots sparks off the page, I know I need to make room on my T.I.M.E. Favorite Books To Read shelf for a new book!
In comparison to Jayci Lee's previous book, The Dating Dare, which kept the steamy scenes "behind closed doors", Booked On A Feeling earns a 🌶🌶 (Medium Spicy) T.I.M.E. Jalapeno Rating.
Although the author is not naming this a series, you will definitely enjoy seeing a few characters return for brief minor appearances in this book... And I certainly would love to see more "spinoff stories" in a future book!
Bonus Story Element: Loved the "romance" with independent bookstores! I bookmarked so many pages that perfectly described that feeling of finding your home in a book haven... And the impact reading can have in a life... ✨😎✨
Pages: 320

SYNOPSIS
Lizzy Chung is an overachieving lawyer who seems to have everything figured out. However, when she has a panic attack during a pivotal moment in her career, she realizes that something is not quite right. She decides to take some time off and recharge by spending three weeks in Weldon, the small California town where her best friend, Jack Park, lives... and where she spent each summer growing up.
Jack Park has been in love with Lizzy since they were kids, but he's never had the guts to tell her. When she unexpectedly shows up on his doorstep, he sees his opportunity to finally confess his feelings. But as they spend more time together, Jack realizes that Lizzy is different than she was when they were growing up - she's more guarded and less carefree. He wonders if she'll ever be able to let her guard down long enough to fall in love with him.
Booked On A Feeling is a charming and heartwarming story about taking risks, following your heart, and finding love in the most unexpected places... Sometimes right in front of you.
Jayci Lee weaves a wonderful tale of friendship, love, and self-discovery that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
BOOK CLUB DISCUSSION:
It's never too late to take a chance on love.
Sometimes the people we've known our whole lives can surprise us.
It's important to listen to our heart, even when it's telling us something we might be afraid to hear.
