Twice Shy

Average rating3.5
DNF @ 36%, found Maybell extremely annoying and immature for someone who's supposedly 30. Since she's the POV character and the entire thing is first-person, I just couldn't continue. Two stars because I was interested in the premise.
4.5 stars. This was such a fun and overwhelmingly sweet read. The main characters are some of my favorites that I've come across in a long time. And I'm always here for a good forced proximity trope.
I docked a half star because at first, Maybell comes across as a doormat and very not-like-other-girls. I wasn't sure if that was going to work for her but the author did a great job of showcasing her flaws, making them relatable, and having her grow from them over the course of the story. Wesley, too. I had a really fun time with this story. Laughed out loud several times and couldn't stop grinning over certain things. This was the first book that really gripped me in a long time so I would definitely recommend it.

This one was sweet. She inherits her old aunt's house and finds there's a guy she's coinherited it with that isn't great with people.
i think this had potential but it ended up being very very boring. I had to force myself to see through to the end
By the end, these two were so gentle and considerate with each other and romances like this are my favourite.
Every review I've seen said this book was sweet. I honestly do not have anything more to add.
This was the sweetest contemporary romance I've read. The characters are nice and likeable, the romance feels real and I'm probably a bit in love with Wesley myself.
If you need something to brighten you mood, this is it.
Sweet love story with some real issues and naked truths, which were my favorite part.
Maybell Parrish adalah seorang pemimpi yang mendambakan kisah romantis. Dia suka membayangkan kedai kopi sebagai Alternate Universe (AU) dimana seorang pangeran tampan jatuh cinta kepadanya dan melamarnya. AU-nya merupakan pelariannya dari kekecewaannya dalam kehidupan nyata. Ketika Maybell mendapat kabar bahwa dia adalah pewaris dari rumah nenek-bibi Violet, kesempatan itu langsung diambilnya untuk meninggalkan kehidupannya sekarang.
Namun ketika Maybell tiba di kediaman mendiang Violet, rumah itu jauh dari bayangan dan kenangannya sewaktu dia kecil. Bukan hanya rumahnya sangat tidak terawat dan terancam hancur, Maybell bukan satu-satunya pewaris rumah tersebut. Maybell harus berbagi rumah itu dengan Wesley Koehler, penjaga taman Violet.
Aku menyukai You Deserve Each Other, oleh karenanya aku mencoba Twice Shy juga. Banyak lelucon dan dialog lucu disini, seperti bukunya yang pertama. Suka dengan romansa slow-burn antara Maybell dan Wesley. Aku merekomendasikan buku ini untuk penggemar genre romance.
