Vanessa Jared's Got a Man

this truly is one of my favorite lighter contemporary romances i've read. vanessa and michael had so much chemistry and I love seeing the representation of characters in their 40s having a romance and even a divorcee.

the setup for how michael and vanessa met is so funny and cute but it also led to discussions of trauma and abuse which I thought was handled really well. Iialso loved how the cultures of both the characters were incorporated specifically, michael's.

i also LOVED the side characters in this specifically vanessa's friends because you can genuinely tell how much they cared about vanessa but they also were super funny and pushed vanessa out of her comfort zone when needed. michael also had a close friend that was memorable as well.

i really enjoyed laquette's writing and steam. the way she wrote their relationship had it jumping off the page and I had such an amazing time reading this book! i truly couldn't put it down

thank you to st. martin's press, laquette, and netgalley for an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review
