wondrgrl's review against another edition
only Alexis Hall could take two of my least favorite tropes and turn them into a great romcom

Probably the best and worst book I’ve read about bed and bath retailing.

Alexis Hall has secured their spot as a hit or miss author for this reader.
Boyfriend Material- LOVED it.
Rosie Palmer Takes the Cake- Ok.
A Lady for a Duke- Delightful.
Husband Material- Entertaining.
10 Things That Never Happened (pub 01.17) - Miss.
I wanted to love it- I really did.
What worked: large cast of smart,eclectic characters ,LGTBQ+ representation, humor and wit. Jonathan's family and Sam's coworkers were a hoot! SUPER Grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, fake amnesia.
What didn't: There was a lot of wordy dialogue. So.much.talking. I love words and conversation, but it started to bog down the pacing. I also didn't buy into the romance.

This book was a gosh darn delight!! It took me a bit to sort of switch gears and settle into the very Britishness of this book, but once I got cozy in there I was literally laughing out loud while reading. I honestly want to go back and reread the book to appreciate everything that's in here. It's kind of over the top but in the best way possible. Our main characters are somehow extremely lovable even though they both are quite aware that they are kind of sometimes, more often than not, rather dickish. I love them, I love the family, I love the coworkers. Quirky and ridiculous with just the perfect amount of heart.
Thank you Netgalley for an ARC of this book!
**EDIT: I just saw that the audiobook is narrated by the one and only will watt and I will absolutely be rereading this so that I can listen to that magnificent voice of his just spewing all of these brilliant lines of dialogue.
** Finished the re-read and I still love Will Watt and this book.
